October 26, 2022 – Police in Lusaka have instituted investigations in the alleged case of theft which was reported by two employees of a company called Shopee Mall Limited.
The report was made on October 25, 2022 by the named employees after they suspected fraud.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the said company was incorporated on July 28, 2022 and was duly registered with all relevant authorities.
A check by Police officers at Shopee Mall Limited offices located at Arcades Shopping Mall in Lusaka revealed that the offices were deserted and further investigations indicate that the suspected owners left the country on October 19, 2022.
Shopee Mall Company Limited was an online platform where people could buy and sell products.
People had no physical access to the products but traded online. They benefited some percentage when their purchased products were resold by the company using the same online platform.
Clients were also given a percentage whenever the person they recruited bought a product.
Investigations into the matter are ongoing and Police are yet to establish how much money was allegedly swindled from unsuspecting individuals.
