Arts “N” Scandal in the eyes of people “Victims of Aka J.K.Phiri

There has been an article circulating on social media about a con man Mr James Kasanka Phiri. This takes me back to Bruce Springsteen when he released his new protest song where he labels US President Donald Trump a "con man", 'That's What Makes Us Great'. Springsteen was one of the most prolific artists to speak out against Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Every year tens of thousands of people are conned by online scammers, but it is not only the authorities taking action: on this article, Victims are also working hard to expose a man who conned them.A have-a-go con artist has been in hot pursuit and exposed in the act using a sleight of hand to cheat people of hundreds of GBPs and USD. Mr James K Phiri claims to be producer, event organizer and a promoter. He is being exposed for fraud after claims that he left his victims out of pocket. One of the victims, stated to ngiyesaba news said” this guy James phiri robbed me of my money promising that he will help me to get a UK visa as he is a UK immigration agent. He said he will do all applications on my behalf to get me the paperwork including a work permit to work in the UK ,after sending him the money he disappeared. I will be happy if he gets arrested before he causes more damage to other people”. The following statement was made by one of the victims who has become an activist and opened a WhatsApp group for the victims who were affected by this chaos. · WARNING...

Ngiyesabanews retrieved the full email evidence from the victims affected One of the victims ,stated that “Yeh, this is how far Jimara can go. Sometime b4 this, there is a poor lady whom we knew me and him she called me and asked me to talk to him ngemali ayibolekayo and he disappeared. The woman is just someone very poor who needs help but he managed to make this woman borrow money from someone to give him. After collecting the money he disappeared and came back. I asked him about it when he came to con me and he made me understand that the woman was just fibbing. He has just became a nuisance. Petty criminal indeed. He used my name to convince his victims he was an authentic event organiser. Asked my sister a widowed someone to hurry up pay so that her son secures a position. My sister sold her cattle to pay. Now the son has gone to South Africa. Had she known that he was up to that the could have done his driving licence. James is heartless. I will forward fotos of my son and daughter when they went to shoot pics with the group so that they can also be profiled for visa application. They left South Africa to do this only, It was all money. · During our interview with Mr Terence Madyara “The Victim” said “James is so evil and a big fool.My father is the one who bought him a ticket and everything to come to UK back in 2001 when he had no hope in zim,James had absolutely nothing but but my father helped him and we came together to UK.All these years l have respected him as a father figure now he is doing this to my family.He has even gone to the extent of defrauding widows too, What a decisive instrument of destruction and gross misconduct. I have given him time to pay back the money or at least an apology but he talks nonsense trying to threaten and bully me. Now l will also be ruthless too. I want to corner him both in zim and in UK. No matter how long and what it takes’ have had several emails since yesterday and now have substantial evidence against him so l will speak to guys who know the way forward here in UK . As for zim victims ,I will ask all the victims to meet over there in byo and see legal advisors that l have spoken to .They will take up this case further that even when Jimara lands in Zimbabwe he will be arrested. AKA J.K.P was not available for the comment but ngiyesabanews source states that he denies all the charges against him despite the substantial evidence against him
