The alleged kidnapper’s favourite spot is Laparada in Johannesburg. One of the women in the comments section, @oratile_shabangu, confirmed that she went on a date with the guy who happened to be a catfish:

“He invited me there, and it wasn't him, and they kidnapped me and stole my phone. Do you have his number or something? I need it for my police case against him.”

“Guys, delete dating sites, it’s no longer safe.”

@Corpulent Being analysed the pictures:

“All these images are AI-generated. Do y'all even videocall these people before going on dates? Image 1 – Look at the fingers, the head/neck in that t-shirt. Image 2 – bottom pic – look at how the pole is held? Arm and hand don’t match. Image 3 – Look at the hands, left thumb in that pic?”

@Limnandi shared:

“We matched, and he invited me on a date in Laparada yesterday. Thank God I got held up at work and couldn’t go yhooooo now waking up to this.”
