NATIONAL NEWS - One of the many unfortunate side effects of Covid-19 has been an increase in the volume of fake news and a huge spike in the number of online fraudsters that are using false information to lure unsuspecting buyers.
Ekurhuleni SAPS has recently seen a huge spike in the number of fraud cases being opened relating to the online purchase of dogs and puppies and has issued a warning to residents in their respective communities.
Milly Barnard, community development manager for Fidelity ADT, said that these fraudsters are taking advantage of innocent people who are hoping to buy a dog during the lockdown.
