Scammers are stealing money and jewellery from women they approach on the street by saying they need a blessing to protect their family from a curse or illness.
This is a scam. Never hand over jewellery or money to a stranger or invite them to your home.
Call Police and tell family and friends if you are approached by someone offering a ‘blessing’. Crimestoppers: 1800 333000
Police Assistance Line: 13144
