Please share my story with your followers so that others do not fall victim to this crime.
Yesterday I visited Hillbrow at The Sentinel flats. When I arrived, I signed in with security using my passport, and I left it with them. Later, when I came back to collect it, the passport was missing.
Security told me that a man had come claiming he was sent by his brother to collect the passport. The security guards did not properly check if he was the real owner, and they gave it to him.
The man then sold my passport to some Nigerians. He was later found and first claimed he took the passport by mistake and had sent it to his brother in Boksburg. He asked to be given time to go and fetch it this morning.
However, today he stopped answering calls. Luckily, we managed to catch him and took him back to the flats. After questioning him strongly, he finally revealed where the passport had been sold. We went there and managed to recover it.
I am sharing this so others can be careful.
