WARNING: PayShap **** — SF Likhuleni — ***
On 06 March 2026 I was contacted by an individual who requested R300 via PayShap claiming she needed transport money. Payment was made in good faith via PayShap.
After receiving the funds she went completely silent for approximately 6 hours and did not honour the agreement.
I reported the transaction to Discovery Bank (***** dispute), SAFPS, and Capitec. Only after these reports were filed did she refund the money.
I am posting this as a public record so that others are aware of this number and this tactic. If you have experienced the same, report to SAFPS at *** and your bank immediately.
PayShap transactions are fully traceable. Do not let this go.

07 Mar 2026, 06:06Hi there Primz, thank you for sharing this with us. I understand how worrying this experience must have been and I am glad to hear that the funds were eventually returned.
Please note that once a PayShap payment is successful, the funds reflect instantly in the recipient’s account. Because of this, we cannot reverse the payment on your behalf. You did the right thing by reporting the matter to the relevant organisations.
To help keep your money safe going forward, please only send PayShap payments to trusted individuals or verified businesses. If you believe you were misled or the transaction was part of a ****, you can also send any supporting details to our ***** Team at *** for further review.
If there is anything else you would like us to check on your profile or if you need guidance on how to stay safe when sending money, I am here to assist.
