Businesses warned about scam
Polokwane - A syndicate is swindling Limpopo businesses by asking for quotations and then requesting refunds after depositing fraudulent cheques for more than the quoted amount.
Provincial police spokesperson Superintendent Mohale Ramatseba said a number of businesses had already fallen prey to the scam, particularly in the Polokwane area.
"We are therefore urging the business community to be vigilant and verify the authenticity of the deposits with their bank before giving any refunds," said Ramatseba.
He said police had arrests some suspects and expected to arrest more.
Anyone with information about the scam can call Captain Philemon Makgaleng of the police's commercial crime unit on 015 293 7256 or 082 565 9176.
