People meddling in this type of thing don't like being exposed..Do you think a article,put on social media, showing them and there modus operandi. Could it be a issue if I do it?

Do it but don't post using your personal profiles or anything linked to you personally. Put it out there so Google can crawl out.


I've seen more than a few instances where social media posts have saved people from scammers when people Google the business name/scammers names/phone numbers /email addresses etc.

What platform do you suggest? To enable Google to crawl out?
 
Personally, to avoid being personally sued, I would post it on a place like this forum but under an alternate name, and I would write it in the third person, like this happened to a friend of mine type scenario.
 
If you're still busy with the case and whatnot, don't post anything. Don't take chances like that until you have your money back and they are in prison.

Just my opinion. Keep it safe. Don't jeopardise the case.
 
Something similar happened to me. Do you want to know how long the court case went on?

12 years. They did however send the perp to jail for 2 years.

That's a good bet, the forum is crawled by Google and people can also join and add their voices to the thread you post on.

Also post the info on the crime/scam reporting website, can't remember what it's called but that being indexed has helped a few people.

Geewiz, 12years..That's crazy, thanks for the advice and input.I'll wait and not post anything until I get a response from the court.

The police document will be sent to the magistrate and he will decide.

The Saps official strongly thinks this will be a civil case, which I am not happy with, it should be criminal..

So my question...When I get feedback and it's a civil case although all the proof is there of defrauding me..Can I challenge the prosecutor to reassess the decision to criminal?& if there is perhaps a better legal(lol) way of getting my money back?

Thanks

this is a criminal matter, not civil.
saps will often try say it's civil to get out of the work involved.
what makes it criminal and not civil, is the willful intent to defraud you from the outset with no intention to honor any agreement.

if the docket has gone to the prosecutor, the police have formalized criminal charges.
the prosecutor assesses the charge and evidence in determining the prospect of successful prosecution.
speak to the prosecutor - police are notorious for not completing dockets correctly, making it difficult for the prosecutor to achieve successful prosecution.

Hi Grant, yeah the docket is still at the prosecutor still waiting for some feedback..
The policeman in charge of the case strongly believes its civil because there is acknowledgement of debt drawn up.Hopefully ,with all the accompanying evidence the prosecutor can see he used fraudulent documents and lied about a number of things.In order to get to the acknowledgement of debt part.
