BREAKING NEWS | A multi-million rand Nigerian cellphone phishing syndicate - operating out of a well-known Durban beachfront hotel - has been cracked by KZN police teams. Three men from that country have just been arrested, along with two local women. Members of SAPS KZN Crime Intelligence dealing with commercial, financial and cybercrimes, SAPS KZN Commercial Crime Investigations, Durban Central SAPS and Durban Metro Police Tactical Support Unit worked closely to trace the suspects. The alleged scammers were operating out of three hotel rooms, booked in the first week of April. A number of cellphones and laptops - used in the commission of the crimes - have been seized. The five suspects will be charged with fraud, theft and the contravention of the Cybercrimes Act. They are expected in court next week. @eNCA
