So one of the girls told me that Blue security is involved in a new blackmail scam with her clients

How it allegedly works is that there are neighbourhood cameras that are being monitored by staff who see cars enter known WG venues.
They see your Reg number and get your details from a contact at SAPS.
They then call you and blackmail you and say that they have video footage of you entering the premises.

So a burner phone does not help as they get your real number from the database

Anyone experience this ?

Good thing we all work for the courier guy

We in an out of priorities the entire day 😉

Maybe Blue security needs to be alerted to this.

They cannot prove what you went to the venue for, but surely blackmail/extortion goes against company policy

There is no direct proof that blue security is involved but the WG suspected it as there are blue security CCTV cameras around the venue.

So either a recorded voice call/ notes or a text message thread from a number linked to your name where you are explicitly asking a service provider to perform sexual acts in exchange for compensation. They also need evidence that you actually followed through with it. So they must see cash exchange hands AND prove within reasonable doubt that cash was for sexual services.

According to the Sexual Offences Act of 2007:

"A person ('A') who unlawfuly and intentionaly engages the services of a person 18 years or older ('B'), for financial or other reward, favour or compensation to B or to a third person ('C') -
(a) for the purpose of engaging in a sexual act with B, irrespective of whether the sexual act is committed or not; or
(b) by committing a sexual act with B,
is guilty of the offence of engaging the sexual services of a person 18 years or older."

For the buyer it's "irrespective of whether the sexual act is committed or not" . So the mere fact that you called and asked for sex in exchange for cash, you have commited a crime. Money doesn't need to be exchanged. You have commited a crime once you ask for sex in return for cash.

The law is more harsh for the buyer. The government deliberately did this to target the buyer in an attempt to curb prostitution - make the buyer scared to even attempt it. The seller requires the sexual act to be commited before she is guilty.

Does anyone have a rebuttal to my comment above?
