Wife E and I recently sought a new place to stay. We thought it would be as it was ten years ago -- a laid back affair, affordable places, and spoilt for choice. In the interim, however, all of Africa is crowding in on Cape Town. Some places receive hundreds of inquiries within days. I needed to make nearly fifty applications in one form or another -- until I decided to be street smart. OBSERVATION: Fraud is common. At least 7% of agents I dealt with were fraudsters. One obtained sufficient information from me to make attempts on my bank account. Every time he did, the bank froze my account, which was many times.
