Be Vigilant About This Scam

I WOULD like to warn the public to be very vigilant as a group of criminals are operating in and around the city.

Their modus operandi is as follows: they will approach you with a request to do some translation between them, the one pretending to be Angolan who only understands a bit of English. To entice you, they will show you a small sealed parcel supposed to contain “diamonds” and a bunch of fake US dollars.For your help you are promised to be rewarded with ten thousand Namibian dollars.You are given the “diamonds” for safe keeping in return you are requested to hand over something of value like a cellphone, or Hi-Fi as a guarantee while the transaction will be concluded in a couple of days.Needless to say that will be the last you see of these criminals.Namibians be aware.If approached please call the Crime Line – 061 2754999Tomas Johannes WindhoekTo entice you, they will show you a small sealed parcel supposed to contain “diamonds” and a bunch of fake US dollars.For your help you are promised to be rewarded with ten thousand Namibian dollars.You are given the “diamonds” for safe keeping in return you are requested to hand over something of value like a cellphone, or Hi-Fi as a guarantee while the transaction will be concluded in a couple of days.Needless to say that will be the last you see of these criminals.Namibians be aware.If approached please call the Crime Line – 061 2754999 Tomas Johannes Windhoek
