A Cape Town woman shared a sad video of how she almost lost all her money because of thieves in Parklands.

In the clip she uploaded, @mahlelovescheeks said she was going to work when she called an Uber to fetch her. She didn't have money on her, therefore she asked the driver to pass by the bank.

Things went south from there when she was approached by a guy who pretended to help her, telling her what she should press on the bank keypad. The young woman said she was good, she didn't need any assistance. However, another guy arrived, telling her the same thing the other one said.

The gent moved away from her to the next target, leaving the young lady struggling to get her card from the ATM. Luckily, she quickly went to the Uber driver and told him the story and they rushed to the nearest bank to block the card.

No money was taken. The lady had another card made. She also warned people to be careful of their surroundings when going to the banks.
