National police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Paul Nyathi confirmed the development and said they were concerned with such cases,

> The Zimbabwe Republic Police is concerned with recent cases of fraud involving the use of Visa (credit) cards locally, and across the region.

He said in one of the cases which occurred on October 3, a Harare man made an inquiry on his bank account, and realised that a number of unknown transactions had been made. He narrated the incident to The Herald,

> He made some enquiries with his bank management where it emerged that fraudulent transactions had occurred on his Visa card in which the yet-to-be identified accused person had bought goods in Zimbabwe and in South Africa worth thousands of dollars. Police are therefore urging members of the public to be alert on this new dimension of cyber crime where fraudsters hack pin numbers of Visa (credit) cards to access their accounts.

He urged people not to disclose their bank cards secret numbers to anyone.
