The issue of scammers and desperation contines to claim more victims. Many are confiding in people they barely know for the sake of trust. One . Oner resident from Harare narrated his stotu he had this to say:
Makazen, ndirikunzwa kurwadziwa nezvandaitwa na bhangu ava. So, this guy advertised an apartment irikuma Avenues which was up for rental starting from the 1st of December. I met up with him for viewing, like the placed ndikabva ndabhadara deposit on the first week of November. Gare Gare about 3 weeks later, I gave him the remaining balance ye $450.

Ipapo ndakanzwa kupera simba, and just hoped it was just a misunderstanding. Fast forward, when I went to the flat nhasi makuseni, I met two other ladies who had also come to move into the flat.

Long story short, it looks like 6 of us have each been defrauded of between $800 and $900 for the same apartment. Apa I don’t even know where to begin. Mota yangu yakazara nembatya and as of today, I am literally homeless Kana pane anoziva this fake landlord or anoziva kwaanogara, please leave a
