    Fraudsters wipe out pensioner's savings, Nedbank offers just R20,000 'goodwill gesture'

    US to end funding of South Africa's HIV programmes over claims of Afrikaner persecution

    Not if you give the thieves your details out of free will. If they had a gun to her head or they stole the pin with a scanner then its not voluntary.

    Pitfalls of buying a contract mobile phone?

    Take care with that as well. More than a few takealot phones have turned out to be contract phones. Make sure its a reputable store and not some funny 3rd party.

    Fraudsters wipe out pensioner's savings, Nedbank offers just R20,000 'goodwill gesture'

    Essentially what happened here is the equivalent of meeting someone on the street who makes you an offer of highly discounted flights walking them into the bank, asking the teller to put all your money on the counter and then when they grab it and run blaming the bank.
