Scammer Gets Busted
Johan Carel Fouché, who is often called the “Casanova Fraudster,” was recently arrested after he chose a senior police officer in Gauteng as his next victim.
Over the past 11 years, Fouché (and his alleged accomplice, Leonie Dempers of Edenglo Holdings), have faced multiple fraud cases. They’re accused of scamming people through a deceptive “debt rescue” scheme, taking cash and homes from their victims.
Now one of the scams seems to mention debt review or counselling.

African Bank Settling Debts
Back in 2014, after some reports of reckless lending and the sudden exit of senior management, African Bank collapsed.
In the process of rescuing the sinking ship, the bank was split into “old” African Bank also called Residual Debt Service Limited and “new” African bank (which had the same branding, same offices, same staff).
Most of the good debts that people were actually paying each month were moved to the “new” African Bank, leaving RDS with some of the less reliable and bad debts.
At the time, RDS set aside R500 million as insuran ..read more
