Show Notes
Three women in their thirties and forties have been arrested for a romance scam that defrauded an elderly woman out of fourteen million rand. The scam, which ran from 2017 to 2018, involved a fake dating profile to build trust with the victim in her seventies. The con artists posed as a lover, sending flirty messages before requesting cash for made-up emergencies. The case was postponed until March 26th for bail details, with all three suspects held in custody. Authorities warn of the emotional manipulation involved in such schemes and advise caution on online romances.
