The “Woolies Mystery Box” Plague: Inside South Africa’s Fast-Moving Brand-Hijack Scam

6 January 2026 by CapeTownNewsReader

Beware! A sneaky scam is tricking South Africans with fake Woolworths deals. These bad guys, called StarLink Boys, use catchy ads and fake comments to make you think you’re getting a huge discount on groceries. But it’s a trap! They steal your card details and disappear.
