An unsuspecting woman from Bergville recently
fell trap to the scam.
She received a phone call from a
certain department at which he had an account registered, informing her that
her installment has changed.
She was thereafter ordered to deposit money into a given
account to rectify the problem.
Sadly, after depositing funds into the bank account
number issued to her, the victim realised she was scammed.
Police spokesperson
Captain Charmaine Struwig cautioned the public not to deposit money into bank
accounts if they have not first confirmed with the department regarding changes
to account numbers.
Struwig said as far as possible, people should request
proof and verify banking details before making any deposits into accounts.
She advised the public to always be wary of what they
agree to when speaking to agents over the phone.
