Warning: Guest Scam (CPT)

Please be on the lookout for 4 guests (a man, woman, child & grandmother) who books into accommodation establishments in town. They cannot confirm how long they will be staying, so book and pay on a daily basis. They pay for the first few nights, then all the excuses start…(waiting for monies to clear, etc.)

Some more facts include:

  • They have lots of goods/luggage with them
  • The child allegedly attends Rondebosch East Primary School
  • The man claims he works in construction and currently has a job in Hout Bay


They have tried this at a few guest houses in town.
