As more South Africans are desperate to find jobs, scammers are also meticulously cultivating more ways of getting even the last cent from vulnerable and unsuspecting job seekers by promising fictitious job opportunities.
With technology advancing and social media taking up space on the internet, scammers are also growing with the same pace and wit.
City of Tshwane job scam
The City of Tshwane has also cautioned the public against a job advertisement on Facebook by an individual claiming to be a manager at Tshwane.
“According to the Facebook post, the applicants are asked to pay R1 050.00 for medical tests and R2 000.00 for reference number in order to secure the job.
Post Office scam
The Post Office has also been targeted. Scammers are misleading the public by sending an SMS or an email informing them about a package which they have to collect and to get it they should send money to “release” the package. By sending the money, victims will share their credit card details or pay money into their fraudulent account.
