WELL BEHAVED CON ARTISTSB

MBABANE – Con artists have proved to be good listeners as they took heed to police warnings against committing crime this schools’ opening season.

This, according to the police, is historic as they have never taken a break in dealing with such crimes around the time when people were making school fees payments.
Con is short for confidence.

The con artist’s skill is making you feel confidence - in him and what he tells you. Con artists get what they want from you by winning your trust and establishing their own credibility in your eyes. They are experts at using your natural impulses and reactions against you.
Nicholas Jele, the Brand Ambassador for an anti-crime campaign involving the police and local banks, said there were no incidents of people who fell victim to such criminal activities during payment of school fees.

He said this was a result of listening, of both the would-be criminals and the general public. The campaign dubbed ‘Vuka Ngwane sibambane sakhe lubondza lwekuvikela bucala netingoti temgwaco’.

Jele said the campaign started last year and was aimed at creating awareness to the unsuspecting people who end up losing their money to thugs.
He said cases that were common previously resulted from the long queues in the banks which tempted people to fall for thugs who offered them quicker ways of paying yet they were conning them. “Some people would easily hand their money to people they believe are employees of the bank only to find that they were not.”
