A 62-year-old retired teacher from Durban has become the latest victim of catfishing after a man she met on the internet a week ago stole her valuable jewellery.
The woman, who is separated from her husband, was allegedly manipulated into surrendering her jewellery under the guise of a spiritual cleansing ritual that was meant to be performed in Cape Town by her new lover.
The woman, who declined to be named, reported her ordeal at the Reaction Unit South Africa Rusa office on Tuesday, where she also submitted WhatsApp chat records and courier documentation linked to the incident.
