Popular house DJ Terence Molefi, known to fans as “DJ Terence” for his renowned Music Box compilations, has found himself in a financial predicament after falling victim to a scam.
According to TshisaLive, DJ Terence recounted the experience, stating that this happened as soon as he landed at OR Tambo International Airport after a successful weekend gig.
He started receiving notifications on his phone, each one informing him that money was being withdrawn from his bank account.
“After I landed at the airport, I started receiving notifications from my bank, seeing withdrawals from the time I was in the air flying back to Joburg. What happened to me is a huge setback. I don’t understand how it happened, but the money is gone.”
Despite his attempts to alert his bank and stop the transactions, the scammers had already inflicted damage. By the time the withdrawals stopped, DJ Terence’s account had been drained to the point where he was left counting pennies and warn people to be careful with the increasing prevalence of cybercrime and be vigilant in safeguarding their financial information.
“My account is blocked; I need to contact my bank again and figure out what happened. I warn people to be careful. This thing is real, and my conclusion is that we live among fraudsters,” he added.
Tshisalive states that Dj Terence declined to disclose the exact amount he lost, however sources close to the DJ revealed that R6 000 was withdrawn.
