Two Mahalapye men swindled in separate phone scams

In the first incident, Mahalapye Central Police Station assistant commander, Assistant Superintendent Malakia Gabana, said the 45-year-old victim allegedly received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Sefalana Cash & Carry headquarters in Gaborone.

The caller reportedly informed the victim that he had won a P8,000 shopping voucher and needed to confirm his banking details. Believing the claim, Gabana said the unsuspecting man shared his information and later discovered that P3,800 had been withdrawn from his bank account.
