New Vodacom banking fraud arrest
A third person has been arrested in the pending Vodacom banking fraud case, the Johannesburg Commercial Crimes Court heard on Friday.
The suspect was a woman believed to be from Orange Farm.
She would initially appear separately from her co-accused Mbokodana Khoza and Mbusi Bhengu and would, at a later date, join them in the dock.
Khoza and Bhengu appeared in court on Friday and their cases were remanded to different dates.
The State alleges that the two men formed part of a syndicate that stole millions of rands from clients of all four major banks — First National Bank, Standard Bank, Absa, Nedbank, as well as Capitec Bank.
Most of the clients were defrauded after their banking details were stolen by the syndicate through a method known as phishing — the acquiring of sensitive information such as passwords, by masquerading as a business in electronic communication.
