On 27 July 2023, I was the victim of an Internet ****. I have lost a vast amount of money after being convinced to be trained in forex "Trading." The particular Website looked extremely professional and the ****mers I dealt with were also very professional. I deposited the money into their bank account for the "promised training and they (*****mers) do the forex trading on my behalf. However, the next day when I visited the specific site I discovered with shock that the ****mer had closed everything and removed everything from the internet. I used the website URL which was deleted and no longer exists, the email addresses were also false and non-existent as well as all telephone numbers. I realized that I was ****med and lost all my money. I reported a ******** case, at my local police station for "Cyber Crime *****. It however appears that the Uniform Members at the local police Station were not aware of the existence of "Cyber Crime *****" and which Branch of the SAPS is supposed to investigate such cases. A ******** case was opened and is presently under investigation by the local Police. However, since I reported the case on 2023/09/13 the specific investigating officer was in any way or means in contact with me. { I established via the Internet that such cases should be investigated by a specialised unit of the SAPS; The Hawks."In South Africa, the South African Police Service (SAPS) is responsible for investigating cyber crimes and has a dedicated unit known as the South African Police Service Computer Crime Unit (SAPS CCU). The SAPS CCU works closely with other law enforcement agencies and private sector partners to investigate and prosecute cyber ******** cases}. I sent my sworn statement to the Hawks via email on 2023/09/13 and requested them to please investigate my complaint. On 2023/09/18 I sent another email to the relevant section and requested whether they were still going to investigate my complaint. I had absolutely no contact, correspondence, email or a single phone call from any employee from the Hawks. This is extremely unprofessional that the 'The Hawks" has made no contact with me in any way regarding the case. From a so-called "Specialised Unit" this type of conduct is totally unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. As a complainant, one would expect at least some type of communication from the "The Hawks" regarding the case i.g.an an email. telephone call etc. Total silence and absolute ignorance are a sign of extremely poor unprofessionalism and extreme lack of work ethic If one as a member of the public and a complainant in a ******** case received from a so-called 'specialized unit such poor treatment then it is clear why sometimes some of the public has absolutely no respect for the SAPS.
