Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) is warning residents about a new job scam targeting vulnerable job seekers.

“In this latest scam, fraudsters are falsely advertising a 12-month fixed-term contract for the position of Senior Practitioner in Acquisition Management,” said MCLM communications officer, Refilwe Mahlangu.

She added that the scammer instructs applicants to send CVs to tendanim@pinpointone.co.za.

Mahlangu reiterated that the municipality only advertises vacancies in selected national newspapers, on their official website, and on their LinkedIn page. If a job listing is not on these platforms, it is not legitimate.

“Anyone posing as a recruiter, consultant, or using unofficial channels is committing fraud. Do not respond, share personal information, or make any payments,” she concluded.
