f gullibility was a crime, then 2 500 people who handed over money for a “magic pen” in a bid to win the Lotto would have been guilty without a shred of doubt.
The “magic-pen” scam emerged in court papers in the Durban High Court recently during an application to seize the assets of the four men who devised it and ultimately pleaded guilty to fraud charges.
Sipho Shange, Lungisani Shange, Vusimuzi Kheswa and Bongani Kheswa, all from the Pinetown area, admitted receiving thousands of rands after placing advertisements in the local press for the pens and special herbs “which would enable persons to become wealthy by winning competitions such as the Lotto”.
