Kiernan ?AKA' Forbes was buried just over a month ago and scammers are already using his name to cash in on unsuspecting fans. His parents Tony and Lynn Forbes have warned his fans to not fall victim to the scams.
ASKING FOR FAKE DONATIONS
"We would like to bring to your attention that there are false requests for donations and investments from people posing as Forbes family members, we have not opened any donations accounts or requested any investment," read the statement on Wednesday. His family also pleaded with his fans to stop spreading false accusations. "We are deeply concerned that irresponsible actions, accusations and assumptions may cause more harm than good," the statement by the Forbes said.
ENCOURAGING THE MEGACY TO MOURN RESPONSIBLY
The Forbes went on to say they were at a loss for words to describe our gratitude for the outpouring of love they've received from the Megacy. "We've seen people deeply hurt and angered by Kiernan's murder and wanting justice. As a family, we empathise with the grief and understand your pain. We are aware of the growing public discontent related to the progress which has been made in the investigation. However, as a family, we are concerned that irresponsible actions, accusations and assumptions may cause more harm than good. "We call on the Megacy to mourn responsibly and ask for patience, so law enforcers have the space to do their job."
NO ARRESTS YET
AKA and his friend Tebello ?Tibz' Motsoane were killed on 10 February on Florida road in Durban. KZN police refuted reports that there were suspects arrested for the AKA and Tibz's murders. Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said they had noted the reports claiming the arrests of at least five people in Belhar in the Western Cape. "Unconfirmed reports about the arrest of an ever-changing number of suspects have been doing the rounds and are misleading the public," he concluded
