Woman gets scammed out of R1m by a man she met on a dating app
Briefly News previously reported that a lady met a man from Sandton on Tinder, with whom she started chatting on WhatsApp, unaware that he'd rock her life and put her in debt.
The woman disclosed that during their conversations, he told her that he had been praying for her financial situation as he could tell she was always broke.
“Soon after, he called and told me to wrap R420 in a white cloth and bring two candles and a bag to his house. When I got to the house, he took me to a room where there was a shrine. He said that's where he communicates with his ancestors."
