DURBANVILLE: SAME HAMPER SOLD REPEATEDLY TO UNSUSPECTED WELLDOERS
Hamper scam exposed ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme
A
man from Durbanville was robbed at knifepoint of the R1 000 cash he drew at an ATM in Wellington Road in Durbanville to buy a beggar a food hamper at a store last Wednesday. But this is not all – he uncovered a clever scam in which the same hamper is sold repeatedly to unsuspected welldoers – to the
benefit of the beggar and the store owner, who buys back the hamper at half price. According to Joggie Prinsloo (34), the store owner, when confronted, admitted to him that the beggar convinces people to buy him a food hamper, which he then returns to the store. Thus the same food hamper is sold repeatedly to one or another welldoer. Two more people were caught in the same way – buying a food hamper after being convinced to do so by a beggar.
Prinsloo said he was busy with business in Cambridge Place in Durbanville town centre at about 11:00 when he was approached by a man who asked him for food for his family. The man, dressed in a blueand-white hoodie, said he and his family were from the Eastern Cape. “I feel sorry for people who do not have money. People are suffering. I have hope for this country. I wanted to help him, but I did not want to give him money, so I offered to
buy him a KFC bucket for his family. He asked me to rather buy him a food hamper, which will last his family much longer. “I am a Christian and we even talked about Christianity,” Potgieter says. The man gestured him towards a store in Wellington Road and asked for the R930 hamper. “There were different hampers at different prices. It is a lot of money, but I felt I wanted to bless him,” he says. To page 2
