Recently, a pastor with the Community Empowerment Ministries, Percival Mtetwa fell victim to cyber crime when more than 20 people on his contact list received an email on Tuesday from his yahoo account (which he did not compose himself) soliciting financial assistance.
The mail, whose subject was urgent response needed ASAP (as soon as possible), read: How are you doing? I hope you get this on time. Am sorry I did not inform you about my traveling to the United Kingdom for a program. I can barely think or type straight at this moment. Something really terrible is happening to me right now and I will be needing Your Urgent help, I hope you come to my aid. I had a trip here in Kent Dover (UK) for a Seminar. Unfortunately for me I got mugged at gun point on my way to the hotel where I lodged. They went away with all I had including my wallet where I have all my cash and credit cards and also my cellphone. I wasn't injured because I quickly complied. Since then I have been without any money, I am even owing the hotel bills here.
