BLUE BUSH HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS!!!!!!! !!!!!

06/04/2024

Some more victims of Lara's (Sholaine) that we have come across over the years.
It seems that Lara has also previously used the name "Sholaine Joseph"
Please beware of all the different names she uses. It's very common for scammers to use multiple different names to scam new and unsuspecting victims.

Wow...where has the time gone? It's exactly a year since our episode with Devi Sankaree Govender had aired on ENCA. Straight after this episode, Sholaine (legally changed her name to Lara) was announced as one of South Africa's most wanted women fugitives, wanted by HAWKS, Interpol Investigation Department and Special crimes unit!

In essence...time heals...
Who would have thought?!💭💭💭

07/03/2024

Our first post for 2024...
It has now been about 3 years and 3 months since Sholaine (now known as Lara) extorted R4.8million from my mother.

It has been a long and excruciating 3 years of investigations, court appearances, legal processes, coming across more and more victims, finding out more and more disgusting crimes she has committed, suffering the loss of everything as we once knew it, suffering severe emotional damage, approaching news and media platforms, exposing, raising awareness, trying to prevent others from falling into the same traps, making her hit Frontpage headline news as South Africa's most wanted women fugitive, and much, much more that cannot even be put into words, has gone into this whole investigation.

The sweat, tears and heartache has brought us here today. Life has certainly taught us a lesson we will never forget.

We have come so far in this journey.

From not even knowing what a scam is, to becoming an expert in identifying scams.
From not knowing what Sholaine was all about, to knowing every spec of exactly what she is all about.
From not knowing where to go or what to do, to bringing together the greatest and biggest team of investigators and getting the case to the High Court.
From not knowing how to expose this story and raise awareness, to getting the story showcased on one of South Africa's most well known journalists TV Show, The Devi Show with Devi Sankaree Govender , getting the story shared by IOL News , Opera News South Africa and IRS Forensic Investigations
From thinking we would never get anywhere with this situation, to getting Sholaine WANTED by Interpol Investigation Department, Special Crimes Unit, HAWKS. S.A and SAPS
From not knowing about any other victims, to knowing about over 40 victims who have come forward
From loosing everything, to gaining more

We are VERY proud of all our hard work! Thank you to those (you know who you are) who have dedicated their time, lives and energy into bringing well deserved justice to her victims.

Each of us on this group has a story. Each of us on this group have been taken advantage of!

And unfortunately, too many people have been SILENCED out of fear...

Even though this scaley criminal has managed to completely dissappear off the face of this earth following her appearance on the font page headline news of The Saturday Star Newspapers as being one of South Africa's most wanted women fugitives, and we all know we will never, ever get anything back, and in this lawless country, we will most likely never get anywhere there either... but this team of unforgiving, passionate fighters, will continue to fight this battle LOUDLY AND PROUDLY!! We will never be among those who have been silienced and given up, and let me tell you, THAT WITHIN ITSELF, IS A DANGEROUS COMBINATION!!!

When the love for your family runs so deep, it gives you the fuel to never give up. For my mommy... I will never give up.

Thank you to all of you who have been a part of this journey and we are sorry to those who have fallen victim to this criminal.

We will continue to share any news as we receive it, for now we are still healing.

⚠️Warning: Sholaine has officially changed her name to Lara Anneline Narainsamy.⚠️

15/08/2023

Sholaine has changed her name to Lara Anneline Narainsamy. This comes to light 28 days after Sholaine was declared as one of South Africa's most wanted women fugitives and was published all over the news and media. Coincidence? We believe not!

03/08/2023

Sholaine Benjamin (now known as Lara Narainsamy) speaking to Devi Sankaree. Sholaine always says the same thing, "they got their leads but did not do the business with the clients", this simply is not true as the leads that Sholaine had provided were all FAKE!!! No business could be done with FAKE LEADS!!!!!!

Sholaine (Lara) just keeps them coming... we have new victims 💔💔

21/07/2023

In this post, we look at the various reasons why criminals such as Sholaine commit fraud and turn to scamming.

1.) Financial Pressure

It’s no surprise, that one of the most common reasons perpetrators commit fraud is because they’re under financial pressure resulting from things like job loss, mounting debt, or in Sholaine's case, the desire to maintain a certain standard of living. These pressures sometimes make fraud an appealing option to make ends meet.

2.) Greed

Some individuals are simply motivated by the desire for material wealth–and engaging in fraudulent activities is a way they feel they can easily acquire it. This could involve embezzling funds from their employer or engaging in insider trading. Individuals motivated by greed may rationalize their behavior by convincing themselves that they’re somehow entitled to the money.

3.) Lack of Ethics

Fraud becomes easier to commit for those who don’t have a solid moral compass and don’t fully understand the consequences of their actions. The lack of ethics makes it challenging for these individuals to see that they’re doing anything wrong by engaging in fraudulent activities. Also, they may not fully appreciate the impact of their actions on others. Lack of ethics could result from a variety of factors, such as upbringing, education, or socialization. This is very evident with Sholaine.

4.) Addiction

Addiction can be a powerful motivator leading individuals to behave in ways they otherwise wouldn’t. In some cases, individuals who struggle with addiction may turn to fraud as a way to support their habit.

5.) Psychological Issues

Finally, some individuals may engage in fraudulent activities because of underlying psychological issues. This could include personality disorders, such as narcissism or sociopathy. Individuals with these conditions may have a distorted view of reality or struggle with impulse control, leading them to engage in such risky activities.

Please read my mom's story: she was scammed by Sholaine for R4.8Million.

20/12/2022

*Raising awareness to this woman and her scams* (one of the police case numbers: 84/10/2020) I am posting this to help others not fall into her traps. Sholaine Benjamin/Adesida/Narainsamy/Julz/Adriana/Anneline is very well known for scamming innocent families and businesses big and small. She is still actively scamming people, we have new victims coming forward. Please be aware of this woman and her scams, she approaches her victims all differently for all sorts of different reasons. Some ways she scams is by offering people financial services; she claims to have a corporate client wanting to switch group risk and provident fund over to Discovery, 60% upfront payment on the referral fees, balance upon successful onboard. Another way she scams is in the PPE medical services industry; she 'sells' the masks and gloves, will deliver some if not then nothing at all and once first batch is delivered she will not deliver the rest of what you've payed for and will try extort more money out of you to try get the rest of what you paid for. Sholaine's financial services license was suspended in 2010 which means she is illegally working as a financial services provider (This information is available to see on Google if you Google "Sholaine Benjamin or Sholaine Adesida"). She is currently under criminal investigation for fraud, theft, extortion, bribery and more. She gets away with her crimes by bribing off law enforcement and changing dockets into her name making herself the complainant. She has been scamming for over 20 years claiming the livelihoods of innocent families and businesses big and small. Sholaine and her brother were involved in financial fraud at Old Mutual where her brother who was working on the inside would provide Sholaine with client database information and Sholaine would then submit policies without the clients knowledge nor consent using their bank details. She now uses her many businesses to defraud, extort, steal and scam people. Her family knows all about her illegal activities but cover up for her and help her get out of situations where she has been caught out. Her businesses include *Claude Stephen Holdings,
*Sholaine Management Consultants (B1999045739) founded on the 6th of August 1999, based in 27 Princes Avenue Windsor West (which doesn't exist); *Mokoena and Adesida Holdings working with John Mokoena(K2019589026) based in 259 York Street Ferndale Randburg which doesn't exist.
*Sharelink Consultants founded on the 5th of October 2009 (B2009187120).
She will approach her victims with a story of business opportunities. She says there are other businesses partners such and "Bradley" and "Victor" (who do not exist) and she will distribute your money all over the place saying it was "Bradley", once you make payments she will extort more and more out of you. She sometimes says there's an order she needs money for and she will share the profits and obviously never does. She often approaches people for client appointments within the Financial industry, she uses LinkedIn, Profhub and communicates via the email addresses [email protected] and [email protected] on Profhub (now deactivated due to her illegal behavior). She will usually say there is an upfront fee and then she will continue to extort money out of you by saying there's all sorts of "release fees" and "admin fees". She will use every and any excuse to either not provide you with the service or item you payed for and if you pull out of the purchase and ask for your money back she will refuse and say things like "you knew what you were getting yourself into" and all sorts of excuses why she can't pay back the money, and that's because that money is already gone, spread out into different "business accounts" used for her "businesses" used for different purposes to carry out her evil Schemes, withdrawn and spent. She is involved in many other ways of scamming, she is involved in a marital scandal and does many many dodgy deals all over the place using many different business names and names for herself. She uses her knowledge and skills that she has gained over the many many years of scamming, to manipulate every situation and get out of it in a very very smart way. She scammed R1million from one innocent person, R130 000 from another lady and her business partner in offering them PPE medical gloves where she delivered the first batch and when they ordered more she did not deliver and they pulled out of the order and requested for their money back for the second batch in which she refused (obviously because she had already distributed it and spent it on her own personal things), R150 000 from another R4.8million from another and many, many, many more (over 20 years worth of victims, more that we don't yet know about) and we have over 20 criminal cases against her and we have victimscomig forward every single day. She is known to easily find loop holes out of any situation. Once you pay her the money, it's gone, spent or withdrawn. She gets away with her criminal acts by bribing off all law enforcement. She is highly connected with the corrupt law enforcement who assist her in making cases dissappear, she payed law enforcement to change a docket that was filed against her into her own name and made herself the complainant of the docket. Her son is also not registered in SA and she is trying to find illagal sources to register her son. She is still performing her criminal acts to this day leaving innocent people in severe financial ruts, devistated, homeless and helpless, showing no remorse whatsoever. Please be aware of this woman, spread the word, share this post far and wide and DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENTS!!!! Her next victim could be you, your family member or friends. We need to stop her from doing this to more families as we have people coming forward to us every day. Her victims amd even people who consider her a 'friend' and businesses like her hair salons where she spends a lot of her victims money, are not aware of her illegal dealings so we need to spread the word. She ruined our lives as a family we lost EVERYTHING because of Sholaine, she took everything from us and laughed at us. It's now heard that she is in the process of building mansions with all her victims stolen, extorted and defrauded money. Sholaine is very manipulative and puts up a show that's she is not scared of anything or anyone, she often threatenes her victims with "Nigerians to r**e and kill your family". She laughs in your face when you ask her for your money back. There is so much more to this story a book could be written and a Netflix movie could be created. This is no small scam incident, this is a whole Syndicate under criminal investigation and we are willing to go viral with the help of our South African citizens. Sholaine's corruption and criminal acts run so so deep its insanely bizzare as she does it in very smart and manipulative ways that it seems legal and right to a unsuspecting victims, kinda like the Tinder Swindler, Sholaine is the Financial swindler.
