Faith healer cons man out of cash
Police are appealing to the community to watch out for scams
Ladysmith detectives are investigating a case of fraud after a man was conned out of a large sum of cash by a faith healer.
The scam victim visited the faith healer last month. During the consultation, he was convincingly told that the cash in his bank account could be doubled.
The man was given an account number and told to deposit money into this account, after which the money would supposedly double.
The man trustingly put cash into the account.

Police are appealing to the community not to fall prey to these kinds of scams. Remember that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is just that – a con.
