Scam prompts Windhoek VTC to tighten security. By: Selma Taapopi

Criminals continue to find new ways of scamming the public, and the City Police has arrested one such alleged fraudster, for impersonating a lecturer of the Windhoek Vocational Training Centre. The accused is said to have scammed two students into paying N$ 3 000.00 each for guaranteed placement at the Windhoek VTC after they did not make it onto the center’s successful applicants list. Following the suspect’s arrest, the Windhoek VTC alerted its staff, trainees and the surrounding community of the scam. The Head of Training at the Training Centre, Susan Heita, is urging the students, especially new intakes who are most likely to fall victim to scams, to keep an eye out and report any suspicious activity on campus. The WVTC’s management team says it is waiting for feedback on the City Police’s investigation, before conducting an internal investigation.
