Fraudsters offer fake driving licences, take cash

MOBILE money fraudsters are now advertising on social media, offering drivers licences for between US$120 and US$200, and to do that within a day, but they simply take the deposit and vanish, without handing over a licence.
They ask those who are trapped to pay a deposit, almost half of the total fee, through EcoCash before disappearing. They even ask for pictures, and show soft copies of the licence they are making in order to get top-up payments by showing they are making progress.
But in the end the fraudsters vanish with the money and the conned person has no money and no card.
