Bostwana Police warns public to be cautious about the Money Laundering risk

Members of the public are cautioned about the Money Laundering risk identified by
INTERPOL where a bank detail template is used by a criminal syndicate to defraud
unsuspecting victims. The scammers recruit and collect essential information from persons in
possession of active bank accounts who in turn become members of the syndicate. The
scammers would then transfer the proceeds of criminal conduct into the account.

Furthermore, INTERPOL has also identified yet another type of fraud whereby a criminal
syndicate uses phone calls and messages to defraud unsuspecting victims’ large sums of
money. Fraudsters deceive victims to disclose their bank account credentials and in the
process illegal transactions are executed by the syndicate.
Therefore, the police would like to advice members of the public to exercise great caution and
avoid divulging personal details to unverified sources.
