Fraud

On Tuesday 22/9/2015 a community member from Jandowae attended the Police Station and reported a fraud. Investigations reveal he was contacted by an unknown offender who offered him a line of credit for $10,000, unfortunately the victim agreed to make 2 x payments totalling $2,050 — into the offender's bank account before they would fund the $10,000 loan.
