A fraudster is reportedly on the loose duping people of their money using several Whatsapp platforms offering tractors and cars to individuals, and later requesting the targeted victims to send diesel to transport the “donated” vehicles.
In a statement issued by Sakunda Holdings, individual(s) misrepresent to victims that they are Mr Kudakwashe Tagwirei, the organisation’s CEO and even put his picture as their own on WhatsApp.
“Please be warned against conmen calling members of the public using numbers including +27 81 009 3248, while purporting to be Mr Kudakwashe Tagwirei. The conmen, using images of Mr Tagwirei on their WhatsApp profile pictures, are offering tractors and cars, while requesting targeted victims to send diesel to transport the “donated” vehicles.
“In some cases, they ask for cash to enable the delivery of donated goods.
“Be advised that Mr Tagwirei communicates official business through designated representatives from
Sakunda Holdings. Any programmes meant to benefit the public are publicised on the organisation’s official platforms and in accredited media,”read the statement.
Members of the public have been asked to be vigilant in dealings and not be subjected to abuse by criminals.
