Fake Pastors Trick Woman & Steal Her Money
A ritual that was supposed to guarantee financial increase, turned into a curse for a woman in Downtown Kingston last week Friday, as she was left $25,000 poorer as a result.
According to reports, the woman had just withdrawn $5,000 from an NCB ATM along Barry Street, when two men alighted from a vehicle and approached her. One of the men told her that he was a pastor, and that he wanted to bless her money. The woman, believed to be a regular churchgoer, reportedly gave the money to the man for him to pronounce a blessing that was supposed to guarantee financial increase.
Following a brief conversation that involved the second man, the woman reportedly returned to the ATM, and withdrew $20,000 more, which was turned over to the men for blessing.
The blessing soon became a curse however, as the woman watched helplessly as the men jumped into their vehicle and sped off with her money. The reportedly told her story at the nearby City Centre Police Station, but refused to make a formal report.
