Hoping that honesty is the best policy
Right on our doorstep, a bank fraud syndicate planned to access millions from an account that was dormant at a Broadway bank.
Have you heard about the Durban North bank teller who was approached by a bank fraud syndicate which offered her a half a million Rand to siphon money from an account?
The syndicate, made up of five men and a woman, according to the Hawks, was alerted to a dormant account that was sitting with a cool R8-million.
Their plan, said Hawks spokesperson, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, was to get the teller to help them access the money. Now whether it was a case of cold feet on the part of the teller or if she was just being honest, will play itself out in court.
We are hoping for the latter.
