Letoya Makhene has been accused of scamming a man and his wife R16 000 from a Bitcoin scheme.

The star who is an unemployed Hammanskraal man has accused her.

The Hammanskraal man known as William Kgole said he reportedly reached out to her after she scammed him R16 000 and promised him instant fortune through the Bitcoin scheme.

Kgole now owes loan sharks more than R18 000 after borrowing from friends and family members as well as colleagues.

“I am very traumatised by all of this. My life has become a mess ever since I began trading with Letoya Makhene who approached me in August via Tik Tok. She told me she was an expert trader and encouraged me to invest with her company known as bestoptionfxt.”

“I was told to invest R1 000 and that I will get my profit within 48 hours but two months later, I am yet to receive the money that was promised to me. What makes matters worse is the fact that I have had to borrow money from loan sharks to make some of these payments. My wife also borrowed money from her colleagues. She now can’t go to work because she owes them. My life has been ruined,” Kgole said.

Responding to these allegations, Letoya denied scamming people when she was contacted and admitted she knows William Kgole who is her client.

“Yes. I totally admit that I know him. The company requested him to pay for the cost of the transfer fee in order to approve his withdrawal. This is part of the company policy. I suggest that he pays for the cost of transfer in order for the company management to approve his investment withdrawal immediately,” she said.
