Deported man loses US$600 in fake ban upliftment scheme

A Harare man deported from South Africa was scammed of US$600 by a fraudster who claimed he could lift his ban, Daily News reports. The victim paid the money, but the ban was not removed. The scam is one of many targeting deportees who are desperate to return. Authorities warn against using unofficial intermediaries. The scam exploits the vulnerability of deportees and the lack of clear information about re-entry procedures.
