With holidays done, thieves will turn their traps on parents taking children back to school and University students to scam or steal them off of school fees and tuition.
On Wednesday 7th September, Bukedde reported a case of a woman who was carrying shillings two million worth of school fees only to be stolen by pickpocketers.
She was left frustrated with an empty bag. This is one of the many stories where crooks take advantage of back-to-school periods and take away parents’ hard-earned money. Many University students have also reported several cases from being conned on the way to the bank to being snatched off all their tuition.
These hideous acts can be avoided. There are many ways to avert it and it can be through digital partition means and/or being more vigilant during the process.
Instead of walking to and fro the ban attached to your child’s school fees payment account, you can do this in the comfort of your home. This will protect you from the bandits. If you try out mobile banking, you will be intrigued at just how much you can do; make payments for school fees, taxes, water, electricity, PayTV bills, check account balances, make transfers from mobile money to your account and borrow for your needs using your mobile phone wherever you are 24 hours a day. All you need is to register for mobile banking from your bank and you will enjoy a safe way of sending and withdrawing money straight from your bank account.
Away from the digital preventive methods, parents, and guardians need to be sharp-eyed in order to quickly identify suspicious behaviours.
