Rorisang Mohapi faces extortion from scammers

Actress, Rorisang Mohapi, is the latest celeb to fall victim to scammers and is reportedly being asked to pay thousands after losing her popular TikTok account.

After building her page from the ground up with her hilarious yet relatable skits, she was approaching half a million followers, with millions of likes on her videos when she received an email from "TikTok" offering to verify her account.

Sunday World reports that the Gheberha: The Empire star was asked for her login details, which she gladly handed over with hopes of growing her page, but later caught on to the scam once she was kicked out of her account:

"They sent me a WhatsApp message and confirmed they took my account. They demanded R8K in order to release the account. I refused to pay, and they never returned my account."

Rorisang Mohapi makes plan B

After having her TikTok account deactivated, Rorisang is hoping to find another way to get it back, though she believes that opening a case would be pointless.

In the meantime, she devised another plan and created a new TikTok account, rorisang_mohapi1, which has only a measly one follower compared to her now-hacked and parody accounts.
