"Funny how these people think. Do they really get people who fall for this?"
@Sookie_Dinyake replied:
"I wish we could actually have a section in the police that deals with these guys specifically cos we hear all about human trafficking and we deem it very important while at the same time we ignore these things knowing that those who fall for them become victims of human trafficking."

"You don't wear a uniform or formal attire. You dress like you are going to creche every day. I understand your confusion."
