Fake lawyer busted at Tredgold, court hears $3,500 scam

A debt collector from Bulawayo got busted after pretending to be an attorney and scamming someone out of 3,500 bucks. Simbarashe Dzingisayi told a guy with pending civil cases that he worked at a law firm and could handle his defense, then collected payment in chunks while dodging every single court date by making up excuses about being stuck at other hearings.

The victim eventually got suspicious after multiple no-shows and checked with the Law Society of Zimbabwe, which confirmed the dude was never actually a licensed lawyer. Cops arrested him after the complaint got filed, and he showed up in court denying the fraud charges while being represented by an actual attorney this time.
