Fake cops scam a million from Omusati pensioner

Staff Reporter A 62-year-old female resident of Olukulo village in the Tsandi Constituency of Omusati was scammed out of over N$1,000,000 by crooks who misrepresented themselves to her as “police officers from Outapi”. The crime was committed over three days — from Monday to Wednesday. It is alleged that the three suspects informed the victim that they were law enforcement agents from Outapi and convinced her to provide her banking details. They then withdrew N$1,040,240.00 from her account using an unknown method. The suspects are not known and have not yet been arrested.
