He said, the Indians were stuck at a Sandton hotel in South Africa as they only had American dollars (USD) and no Rand so they could not settle their bills. The conman wanted Musasiwa to avail the money in South African Rand (ZAR) and in turn he would get a percentage from their investments.
Musasiwa tweeted:
Funny story. Got a call from a guy calling himself “Sean Mnangagwa”. Using an international +44 number. Say he’s bringing Indians to invest in farming and got my number from the Fresh in a Box call center. NOW.
To be clear. I don’t know Sean personally at all, but I’m CLEAR, THIS WASN’T HIM. the story goes… the Indians are stuck at a hotel in Sandton, coZ they have USD cash, and needed help to pay. I could get the cash later with a percentage.
