A Johannesburg man who was left bloodied and wounded after being shot three times by a gang of Facebook Marketplace scammers bravely fought his way to safety while praying to God to save his life.
David Bradley was lured into a trap on 16 November 2023 when he responded to an advert for a Yamaha Silent Piano for sale in Ennerdale, in southern Johannesburg.
Bradley, who plays various musical instruments, said the piano was advertised for R60 000. The retail value of the instrument was over R200 000.
