Elderly warned against new bank scam
By Shanice Naidoo
Cape Town - The elderly are being targeted in the latest bank fraud scam.
“Several cases reported since January this year. The value involved is over R700 000. In a few cases, the bank was able to freeze the account so that the funds didn’t get released. The victims are elderly persons,” said Port Alfred police spokesperson Captain Mali Govender .
National police spokesperson Brigadier Vish Naidoo said while he was not aware of reports in other areas, people from different provinces are not immune to the scam.
The SAPS issued a warning stating that fraud cases are a crime of concern as criminals are using another trend to defraud persons.
