That's the warning from the Hawks Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit after it arrested three suspects aged between 31 and 39 at Lyttelton in Centurion, outside Pretoria on Thursday.

Nkwalase said the woman was allegedly invited for a spiritual cleansing consultation, for which she paid R1,000. She was later convinced to come back for more cleansing. “The trio is expected to appear in the Pretoria Central magistrate's court on Monday to face charges of fraud.” But Bashir’s career as a con man came to an end when he was convicted of fraud in the Port Elizabeth specialised commercial crimes court.

Bashir was arrested in April 2018 and offered the arresting officer R100,000 to set him free. His case has been remanded to August 21 for sentencing.
