Fraudsters are prying on senior citizens by scamming them from their hard earned savings from their banking accounts and it’s on the increase.
Recently a pensioner from Mitchells’ Plain who wishes not to be named was scammed of R10 000.The money was transferred from one bank to another and is under investigation by the banks fraud department and SAPS. The pensioner hopes he will get his money back.
