Fake JPs are robbing the unsuspecting
Dear Editor,
It has been brought to the attention of members of the Justices of Peace and Commissioners of Oaths Association that there are persons out there who hang around’ the G.P.O and in the vicinity of lawyers chambers pretending to be Justices of Peace and approach people offering service of Justice of Peace.
These fakes will collect money from the unsuspecting victims and disappear or provide a document that is not a proper affidavit and in any case the victim is politely robbed.
Also there are some tricksters who pretend to be connected to the Housing Ministry and will take money for persons seeking house lots with the promise of getting these house lots for them. When the tricksters collect the money they do the disappearing act.
Members of the Justices of the Peace association would like to advise people that when looking for a Justice of Peace or Commissioner of Oaths make sure he or she operates from a recognized office and that copies of his or her instalments of authority are displayed so that they be clearly seen.
As for house lots only the Minister or his authorized Officers at the Housing Ministry can issue house lots by way of a set and proper process. No way side person can provide house lots
Be on guard at all times.
Wendell P George
