Upington, Northern Cape – Granville Saunderson, 33, has been convicted of cyber fraud and money laundering by the Upington Regional Court after defrauding two victims through fake property sales.

In his first fraud case, Saunderson deceived a victim in December 2022, resulting in a loss of R178,000. In his second fraud scheme, he advertised a house for sale in October 2023, tricking the victim into losing R70,000.

Provincial police spokesperson Omphile Masegela provided further details, explaining that Saunderson was initially convicted in August 2023 for the December 2022 fraud. In this case, he had misrepresented a house sale, leaving the victim at a significant financial loss.

In the second fraud case, Saunderson advertised a house for sale at R140,000. After the victim showed interest and agreed to the purchase, they were provided with a draft sale agreement while taking possession of the property.

The Upington Regional Court has convicted Saunderson, and further investigations continue as authorities work to address his fraudulent activities.
