Shashi Naidoo Loses Over Half A Million Rands After Her Phone Got Stolen
Shashi Naidoo Loses Over Half A Million Rands After Her Phone Got Stolen. This is one of the worst thing that can happen to anyone. Shashi Naidoo lost large sums of money after her phone got snatched from her recently.
The media personality, actress and entrepreneur shared her sad experience on Instagram. According to the Dubai based Shashi, she was an MC at a certain event in Sandton. When she got off her Uber, someone snatched her phone in the packing lot. Nonetheless, Shashi still continued with her MC duties, thinking that she will attend to the swim swap admin later.
“On Wednesday I was MCing an event and as I got out of my Uber and into the parking lot someone ran up to me and grabbed my phone. That is what I thought was the end of it. And you know that story?” she said. It’s super-inconvenient. You’ve got to do a SIM swap, get a new phone. My phone wasn’t insured. Fine. That’s really bad luck,” she said.
This was just the beginning of her nightmare though. The swim swap process was just taking time, after which, she learnt her bank accounts had been cleared.
“I had a heart attack,” Naidoo said. “They have cleaned out my savings account. They cleared up to R500,000 on the credit card and I had an access bond so they withdrew all the money from my bond and put that into my savings and spent that. As soon as I saw it, I ran to FNB — and they did the same on FNB. I recently sold my house. All that money was sitting in my savings,” she said.
