WARNING: Gauteng Residents – If You See This Do Not Pick it Up
Surely, when you read that you are not supposed to pick this up you wondered how can you not pick up money because it could probably be your lucky day but the truth is, it is a scam.
Allegedly, there is a new trend in Gauteng, especially in Johannesburg CBD. Criminals are going around dropping this and waiting for people to fall for the trap so that they can scam them.
You will think it is a lot of money when you see it and it might catch your eyes but it is not money and do not even stop when you see it.
If you see this at Joburg CBD, please leave it alone and mind your own business don't even try to pick it up. pic.twitter.com/V74MdjlQAT
