Police across Masvingo hunt for a 36-year-old man who tricked locals out of nearly fifty thousand dollars. Tinashe Tabarembengo vanished after pocketing cash from folks who believed he worked as an official Be Forward car import representative. Law enforcement officials warned residents about scammers targeting people wanting to bring vehicles into the country.
Authorities described how Tabarembengo convinced around ten victims to hand over money between February and December last year. These trusting customers either passed him cash directly or transferred funds to his personal bank account. He promised each person their dream car would arrive shortly but never delivered any vehicles or returned a single dollar.
The total stolen amounts to exactly $48,750, according to police reports. Officers urged citizens to protect their hard-earned money by choosing established companies when purchasing foreign automobiles. The suspect lived in the ZBS area of Masvingo before disappearing completely after his scheme fell apart.
Anyone with information about where Tabarembengo might be hiding should contact local police immediately. Based on his false promises, his victims expected paperwork processing and vehicle delivery. Law enforcement continues asking community members for tips that might lead to his capture and recovery of the stolen funds.
