A conman was found guilty of fraud after he swindled R350,000 out of a victim.
In November 2017, Ntsala hacked the victim’s computer and sent an e-mail purporting to be her broker, who had previously indicated he wanted to make an investment of R350,000 on her behalf.“Upon receiving the e-mail, the victim, knowing their deal, authorised the amount of R350,000.
Thereafter the victim contacted the broker checking if everything was in order but the broker had no knowledge about the investment. It was then established the e-mail was hacked,” said Hawks spokesperson Capt Yolisa Mgolodela.The matter was postponed to January 2022 for sentencing.
