The scammer sent emails, posing as the chief justice, stating his cousin died and that he needed money urgently.

A fraudster has been trying to scam people, including judges, out of large amounts of money by pretending to be Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng.

“The individual targets people with the aim of soliciting large amounts of money by identifying himself as Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng,” Mncube said. “He asks the judges if they know about a meeting and, when they reply, he says he has a problem, his cousin has passed away, and he needs R25,000.”Mncube said the OCJ had no idea who the fraudster might be.
