MAHIKENG – The Department of Community Safety and Transport Management has released a statement cautioning potential Scholar Transport Tenderpreneurs against a con-artist by the name of John Phillips.
According to the statement, the nam, with an alias of John Phillips targets all those who have submitted bid proposals for Scholar Transport. “He would promise the bidders to success in their bidding at a certain fee.” The statement said.
The department has warned potential bidders to be cautious of such scammers as no official has been authorized to offer any form of assistance outside the normal supply chain process.
The con-artist who goes by the name John Phillip of cell number 076 855 0016 would contact unsuspecting business people and refer them to another culprit by the name of Enerst Zwane who uses a mobile number 063 743 4244 . Both crooks would proceed by requesting a private meeting with their potential victim who will be defrauded of their hard earned cash.
The Department encourages all who have been scammed by these two to open fraud cases against these two fraudsters.
