HARARE — The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) have arrested two suspects for allegedly running a social media fraud scheme that duped more than 100 people seeking employment.
Clara Chiwashira, 20, and Chipo Masuku, 22, were taken into custody after authorities say they used a messaging platform to exploit job seekers. According to a statement from the ZRP, the suspects lured purported applicants to join a WhatsApp group explicitly titled "Job opportunities."
Once inside the group, the applicants were promised employment in various roles, specifically as till operators, housekeepers, and merchandisers. In exchange for securing these positions, the job seekers were instructed to hand over cash.
Police report that the suspects defrauded the victims of various sums, with amounts ranging from USD 100 for each applicant.
Despite the payments made to Chiwashira and Masuku, the ZRP confirmed that none of the promised employment offers materialised. The exact total of the funds illicitly collected by the pair has not been disclosed, but with over 100 victims involved, the collective financial loss is substantial.
The suspects remain in police custody as investigations into the social media fraud continue.
Meanwhile, police is seeking information which may lead to the arrest of the suspects’ accomplices identified as Boss Kevy or Charles Chizimbe. - Zimbo LIVE Harare
