PLEASE SHARE ?? | A Harare chicken farmer has lost 250 chickens worth US$1,500 after being tricked by two men who paid her with fake money.
Lucia Nyamayaro said she had advertised her dressed chickens on Facebook and was contacted by a man pretending to be a customer. They agreed to meet early in the morning at Strathaven shops, where the man claimed to own a butchery.
Two other men came in a Toyota Hilux registration AFT 7625 and said they worked for the buyer. They gave her what looked like US$1,500 in cash. After loading the chickens into their vehicle, they handed her back what seemed to be the same bundle of money and quickly drove away.
When she checked, it turned out to be only one US$20 note wrapped around worthless old Zimbabwe dollar bills.
She reported the incident to Avondale Police Station, and police are now investigating the case. Anyone who recognises the suspects is urged to contact the nearest police station or call the victim on 0772972380.
