OUR CASE:
Our client contacted us and requested an investigation into Mr Ryno Schoeman.
He allegedly defrauded her of R329,000.00 after he approached and befriended her on Facebook in 2022.
Our client’s daughter explained that she had concerns about Mr Schoeman's friendship with her mother after she noticed that Mr Schoeman’s actions matched the modus operandi of sweetheart scammers in general.
She expressed her concerns to her mother at the time, but her mother disregarded the warnings because she did not believe that Mr Schoeman would defraud her in any way as he claimed to be a man of principle with Christian values.
Not long after the friendship started, Mr Schoeman started hinting that he was in love with our client and that he wanted to visit her.
He made plans for them to travel, but he did not have a vehicle, and he requested her financial assistance to purchase a vehicle big enough for them to travel together.
Mr Schoeman sent photos of the vehicle he planned to purchase, emphasising how much they could do as a couple if they had the vehicle.
He particularly pointed out that the vehicle he chose would be big enough to accommodate the medical equipment that our client always needed by her side.
Hence, she believed he thought of every small detail and that he wanted to use the vehicle for the purpose that he indicated to her.
Our client finally agreed to advance the amount of R329,000.00 to Mr Schoeman for the purchase of the vehicle.
Soon after the money was transferred into Mr Schoeman’s bank account, he blocked our client’s communications, and when she attempted to track him down through other mutual friends on his Facebook profile, she received a message from another female Facebook user who asked her why she was contacting her fiancé.
At that point our client realised that she had been defrauded and that Mr Schoeman was engaged to another woman, which he had never told her.
It was later discovered that Mr Schoeman purchased a luxury vehicle that did not match the specifications, colour, make, model or size of the vehicle that he told our client he was going to purchase with the money she had given him.
The vehicle he purchased did not have the capacity or basic ability to accommodate our client’s medical equipment.
Hence Mr Schoeman defrauded our client by applying the money she gave him for a different purpose than the one he indicated it was for.
Specialised Security Services started an investigation into Mr Schoeman and found that he had multiple social media accounts, many more than the average person would have.
It was also found that Mr Schoeman is in a relationship, and he was in a relationship during the time that he claimed to be in love with our client.
To resolve the matter amicably, Specialised Security Services contacted Mr Schoeman directly and asked him for his side of the story and to return the money he took from our client.
Mr Schoeman made it clear that he had no intention of returning the money or the vehicle to our client and stated that it was a gift from our client to him, although he previously had offered to pay the money back.
After the communication with Mr Schoeman, he proceeded to block our efforts to contact him again.
Our client provided a sworn statement of events, and we are currently in the process of registering a criminal case against Mr Schoeman.
THE INVESTIGATION INTO MR SCHOEMAN IS ONGOING.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook. This retaliation happens on social media and creates doubt about our integrity and ability. Doubt created on social media platforms is both unwarranted and untrue. We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.
STANDARD RULES APPLY: Upon appointment, we require a formal mandate with detailed instructions. Please take note that should you not make use of our services – you may not under any circumstance use my name or the name of my organisation as a means to achieve whatever end.
