⚠️ PUBLIC WARNING: MORITA FORESTRY SCAM ALERT ⚠️
Please be careful of the "Morita Forestry Cape Town Office Launch" event circulating on WhatsApp and social media.
After a quick investigation, here are the RED FLAGS:
1. Not FSCA Registered - Morita Forestry is NOT a licensed financial services provider in South Africa
2. Ponzi Structure - They use multi-level referrals + "guaranteed daily income". This means new people’s money pays old people
3. Fake Credentials - Website domain was only created in July 2025, but they claim to be operating since 2019
4. Pressure Tactics - "VIP Invite", "Limited Space", "Lucky Draw Prizes" + asking for ID and "Morita ID" to join
5. Unrealistic Investments - Selling "Texas, California, Florida Timberland" to SA residents is not how real forestry works
WHAT TO DO:
❌ DO NOT invest any money
❌ DO NOT share your ID, bank details, or "Morita ID"
❌ DO NOT attend thinking you will get returns
✅ VERIFY any investment with FSCA first: 0800 110 443
✅ REPORT scams to SAPS Commercial Crimes + FIC: [email protected]
Real companies do NOT promise guaranteed profits or pay you to recruit others.
Please SHARE this to protect your friends and family. Scammers use fancy hotels like Marriott to look legitimate.
