Chikwawa Police Station is keeping in custody a 32 year-old woman for allegedly fleecing job seekers of over K1 million.
The suspect, Shelie Mafunga, committed the offence early January in Nchalo.
Mafunga is said to have tricked job seekers on the pretext securing them jobs in a non-governmental organization called Partners Health.
The unsuspecting victims sent her money through TNM Mpamba which amounted to over K1 million.
She disappeared before being arrested on Tuesday after thorough investigations.
Mafunga will appear in court soon to answer the charge of obtaining money by false pretence which contravenes Section 319 of the Penal code.
Meanwhile, the police are seriously warning any conmen to stop deceiving people or face the long arm of the law.
