The Poultry Association of Zambia (PAZ) warns poultry farmers to be on the lookout for fraudulent schemes when selling their chickens or eggs.
“A group of individuals going around poultry farms are paying with false cheques for both chickens and eggs that they collect from poultry farmers.”
According to PAZ the culprits are a group of individuals working for a “suspected non-government organisation”, and they have deceived a number of farmers and stolen their income.
PAZ warns poultry farmers to be alert to the fraudsters and on their guard so that they avoid becoming victims of the group’s criminal intentions.
