AVBOB Mutual Assurance Society has noted with concern, fake job advertisements doing the rounds on social media.
A syndicate, professing to be from the mutual assurance society Human Resource department, is making use of a Gmail account to “recruit” unaware South African citizens for jobs in return for a fee.

“Please note that this is a scam, AVBOB has not advertised such posts and the company would never request applicants to pay a fee for any job posts or competence tests.
“We are calling on members of the social media community to refrain from sharing or referring anyone to these posts. AVBOB is investigating the matter and we will be taking the necessary steps to ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended,” said AVBOB spokesperson, Marius du Plessis.
According to the society, it will only advertise vacancies on the company’s official platforms such as the AVBOB South Africa Facebook page, AVBOBSA Twitter page or company website: www.avbob.co.za.
“We encourage all members of our community to be more vigilant when applying for jobs.
Under no circumstances should people make payment for any vacancies claiming to be from AVBOB,” said du Plessis.
