The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has warned the public not to fall for a scam involving the impersonation of SIU head, Advocate Andy Mothibi, and other members of the unit.
“The scammers are trying to solicit funds from members of the public in the name of Advocate Mothibi and the SIU.
“The SIU has taken steps to investigate and determine who these people are and their motives. We urge the public to be cautious and not fall prey to these scammers,” the unit said.
The unit said it will take legal action against those impersonating its members.
“Adv. Mothibi and the SIU staff members will never ask any member of the public for funds, especially for bribery or to make investigations disappear.
“The SIU will not hesitate to take legal action against anyone impersonating the SIU and its staff members,” the SIU said.
