💨 Abstract
Three men will appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court for allegedly defrauding a woman of R3 million through an online romance scam. The woman, who met a man on Facebook in 2024, was convinced she was communicating with a white foreign national named “Mark Hermanus.” The scammer, who moved the conversation to WhatsApp, requested money for his son's medical expenses, leading her to transfer R3 million into two bank accounts.
