‘Til the wheels come off | Carte Blanche | M-Net

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟮 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯.
Earlier this month, Carte Blanche investigated a multi-million rand Ponzi scheme that involved purchasing luxury vehicles without ever paying a loan instalment. The wheels eventually came off in spectacular fashion. Then, days after our broadcast, viewers sent us stories of how they had fallen victim to a more complex but similar scam. We investigate an intricate “ride to own” scheme which had some motorists owning multiple vehicles that they weren’t paying for and never took possession of. Now, the banks are owed more than R500 million and numerous vehicles have gone missing - stripped and resold for parts by a shady dealership. The Hawks are investigating but for the so-called victims, it’s time to pay up.

These scammers took the phrase, 'being taken for a ride', to another level.

[@ntombiconstance]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ntombiconstance]

That's a whole police chase 😂😂

[@HiltonJohani]

😂😂😂😂

[@donsicariofx]

The foolish things people do to appear successful to their family and friends...

[@gxobinjasambemntungwa9694]

😂😂😂

[@XBooks.]

Fake it till you make it 😂

[@tumelonkosi9078]

Straight hate

[@nixm9093]

Spending money on things they don't need just to impress people who don't care. A car doesn't define ones character.

[@Dude-1689]

It's interesting that all the institutions are aware of this whole scam yet no one is prosecuted

[@jeffm623]

Something to know in RSA, so ong as money goes into accounts, no investigations are ever done and they will protect their clientbase.

[@johndonovan7018]

they all made money off it

[@governormadea5937]

Guy who earns 15000 thought he could own luxury cars on his salary

[@marcushenning3594]

He obviously knew it was something illegal, but was taking a chance. And...well, that's now come back to bite him

[@BOBBY-et9xb]

And we honest people who apply for finance and were dealing with the same bank for years are either want to be charged high interest rates or get rejected.

[@bwarrior6340]

The people that "fell" for this are as guilty as the "dealer".

[@orangeninja912]

How do you even have 30-50 friends. Proper friends

[@Lady--G]

My exact same question.😂 I mean outside Facebook how is that even possible

[@wellinever1558]

Yes i wondeted too?

[@o.c2231]

Thought the exact same thing🙈

[@Roses_777]

How did banks miss all these tweaks made in financial statuses? Just WOW! Scammers are getting creative with these "inside" jobs

[@jeffm623]

Banks have nothing to lose ..

[@UnitedLoyalist]

They in on it. Banks don't care as long as the perceived application shows or turns up on their desk as low risk credit or loan. Either way, the client, in this case, the scammed, pay the price. Like it or not

[@mafungwase8072]

Charming Lady indeed, Bingwa your are a very strong Man Bro 😂😂

[@robmancuso964]

Greed and gullibility is a terrible combination.

[@GadgeteerZA]

Four finance deals signed in a few days, sounds like some of the "victims" are complicit in fraud themselves. Greedy fools are soon parted from their money...

[@beautifulcrazy]

Serves people right, who think that material things matter

[@jimbob1xghtnm]

Greed and/or desperation will always land you in trouble. There will always be people that will take advantage of that combination and will leave your whole life in ruins. I hope the people behind this can be held accountable and spend a long time in jail.

[@charlesvoster3540]

It's the music that is playing in this video for me😂😂😂

[@tadawkward2286]

Nothing is that easy. "Victoms" were gready and wanted more than what is real

[@roccodevilliers406]

What does the owner of Auto Xtreme dealership have to say, about one of their employees being linked to this fraudelent activity?

[@2Looo88]

I officially like Bongani😂 awesome reporting

[@markthompson4859]

Vanity dulls the brain.

[@lentsoemamatela1024]

So the difference in corruption is whether it is exposed or not I guess.

[@gee6559]

Not a single person in these comments has anything to say about this thieving, corrupt couple. All fingers are being pointed at the victims for being greedy etc. Sad to see that corruption has a colour in this country.

[@RB-nr1um]

Is anything actually going to happen to these thieves?

[@555125kevin]

I mean they got away with it in SA, now that they're in Mozambique most likely nothing will happen to them.

[@XBooks.]

Is this a serious question? It's obvious nothing

[@ASMRPRO171]

I like Bongani, he is remarkable at what he does.

[@nolanaug]

Even on 702.

[@kambrose1549]

Just maybe they'll meet their match with sis in mocambique

[@nolanaug]

If you can't afford it. Why do you want it.

[@Papito_ZA]

If its "cheap" your paying double ...

[@tokoloshi214]

Stupidity carries consequences.

[@VJASK93]

Chane needs a P klap That fact that she can feel openly comfortable to threaten someone for asking questions

[@Sylvester826]

Background music is so loud and irritating

[@democracy2.0]

Well now people know were they are in Mozambique. Amazing how do you manipulate earnings, bank records etc. Plus so called victims signing for 4 deals in four days thats complacent in fraud 😳

[@AO1YinYang]

guess who will be visiting their resort and burning it down....

[@Inspirationdiaries]

Hardly victims if there was greed involved and wanting keep up with Jones', knowing full well that your credit record is "rock bottom", as the journalist himself said

[@kgwadimoloto3831]

I still can't believe there are people who are this naive and gullible.

[@drevil4454]

Time they get arrested!!! As a general rule I do NOT do business with people who regard themselves as dart boards or colour-in paper. Carte Blanche..keep us up to date. I'd like to see her face in court.

[@SwansonYT]

I've heard so many sayings about tattoos etc... but this is by far the best made my day thank you 😂

[@annetteelliott1494]

It's hillarious actually! 😂

[@lesediseemela9856]

Banks must intensify thier fraud detection and management portfolios because in as much as they're not directly involved, but they form part of the problem. There must also be a strong emphasis on dubious car dealers. There's too nigh happening there, illegal.

[@RayBarK1]

Nope don’t feel bad for people buying multi million rand cars and having to pay for them

[@petebuttons210]

That business name is enough to put me off without knowing anything about the company.

[@amandavan55]

😃Mind boggling how gullible people are...... But there is no lack of airs, egotism, self-conceit, vainness.....🙄

[@zandilemabena3919]

All for what??? To impress brokies like me🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nothandonxumalo4460]

again greed dont feel sorry for any of them

[@mandlas.4305]

What’s with the callous threats after they have scammed people and they left people in debt? Do they know that they day they would return from Mozambique, criminal charges would be instituted against them?

[@MarkSmith-hq4rr]

Where can I get a sweater like Glenda’s? I like it.

[@AdriaanNothnagel]

Freedom from desire ladies and gentleman.

[@martinshabangu9854]

They will definitely pay for this lol. What you do on the left it must be done on the right. Only time will execute this

[@sion1677]

True what goes around comes around.

[@SigmaZer0]

The volume of the background music is too loud and there is too much of it, interesting story but not a pleasure to listen to.

[@omo708]

Welcome to dstv MNet

[@FaithManaka-uc7hz]

True

[@Fishstycz]

Fools and their money... 🙈

[@XBooks.]

Fake it till you make it 😂

[@mr10secondGT]

What a lovely lady? Straight from the gutter.

[@Allabouteastern]

How do i contact you guys i have a story!

[@tokosekgothudi9084]

Is not only ANC

[@sender9358]

Tyrone and Chane Venter.....must go to jail. Forget about the stupidity of the victims....this couple committed a crime and have costs people heavily. I wonder if Chane will be that arrogant towards the judge !! 😂

[@thamza9404]

This reminds me of "Brusson finance" 😢

[@sbonelodlamini5197]

Please intervene in the matter of SA taxi financial services for the sake of taxi owners being reaped off

[@christo2690]

What are they doing ?

[@FaithManaka-uc7hz]

How do one family even own 8 cars

[@abutilesego2u59]

And they're not prosecuted wow

[@stuartandersen4636]

So nothing happened to them? Surely something can be done.

[@marquenjoubert]

So I wonder if they are citizens of MZ. Because at some point they may have to return to ZA, or see their resort become unsustainable.

[@OMGADZ]

You guys should be getting way more views on your videos 🤞, get us to do your SEO you will not regret it 🤞🙏

[@waltherziemerink]

Charming lady.....

[@barendbarnes8646]

Are they anc members?

[@RG-jr8ym]

yes, from another mother

[@mnati25]

These guys were greedy and unfortunately it got the better of them.

[@likhonalikhona58]

Do these stories ever have a happy ending for the victim?

[@beebilly]

Hoop hulle word gevang!

[@dominicvandermerwe2092]

Rich people getting scammed stupidily, can't say I am to sad about this.

[@lylm4147]

They were not scammed. They were willing participants in scam.

[@roccodevilliers406]

These people who got scammed aren't rolling in the money. Difficult times ahead for them

[@k33nan696]

😂

[@Thisisdangererous]

Wealth and debt wear look the same

[@gxobinjasambemntungwa9694]

That's why we need a state Bank some clients are always given an upper hand here is the proof,when some of us are saying the field is not level aphi amanga ethu?

[@lukeperry8271]

A state bank? Really?

[@gxobinjasambemntungwa9694]

Yes to level the playing field 😀

[@RG-jr8ym]

are you serious...

[@InstigatorDJ]

Go and grab them. It would be easy.

[@ameenm695]

when you guys are going to expose the corrupt politicians at eskom with their names, maybe you guys are just scared of them 😂😂😂...

[@RG-jr8ym]

lol

[@cmichaels9544]

Bongani is a terrible investigate journalist. He doesn't ask the right questions and his performance seems amateur at best. Listening to him on 702 is like listening to those American liberals that get questioned about why they feel a certain way and can't answer or getting unjustifiably upset at the question but they've for an opinion nonetheless.
