Instagram influencer Aisha Baker who endorsed the alleged travel scam, Hello Darlings has distanced herself from any involvement.
This after Tasneem Moosa deactivated the travel website’s accounts and contact numbers from all platforms.
Baker shared with her followers that she received a partially paid for holiday to the Maldives by Hello Darling.
In exchange, she agreed to post about her trip and give Hello Darlings an honest review about the services supplied, resort and the trip in general.
“I did not receive any cash kick-backs, commissions or profit shares. Tasneem agreed to gift us travel if we continue to post about upcoming adverts, which I agreed to because we had a fantastic time on the trip. There were no red flags to my knowledge,” Baker shared with her followers on Instagram.
She said that despite the arrangement, no further travel was gifted and the influencer claims she cut ties with the Hello Darlings founder in January.
“After seeing a post with hundreds of reports of bad service, I publicly cut ties with Tasneem “Tazz” who assured me, it was nothing more than an administration issue. I was told she was waiting for refunds from hotels and and airlines so she could refund her clients.”

Baker apologised to her followers who lost money by booking holidays via Hello Darlings. She hopes that Tasneem Moosa will be brought to justice and people can recover the money they lost.
Hundreds of South Africans claim they were defrauded by Tasneem Moosa after paying for holidays on the Hello Darlings website.
