Roads Agency debunks fake job scam
The telephone number and email address used in the job advert are incorrect.
The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has warned job seekers not to fall for a scam inviting members of the public to tender on its contracts.
Vusi Mona, SANRAL general manager of communications said the tender is fraudulent.
“The invitations to tender are made in the name of a Ms Constance Masedi, supposedly an employee of our supply chain management department. Our internal employee database confirms that we do not have Ms Masedi on our payroll,” said Mona.
The telephone and fax numbers, as well as the email address used are incorrect, and are not SANRAL’s official contact details, added Mona. Official SANRAL email addresses always include ‘nra’, which is an abbreviation for ‘National Roads Agency’. The email address used in the scam was tenders@sanrall.co.za.
“We apologise for the inconvenience that this may have caused, and we assure members of the public that we are taking steps to raise awareness about these types of scams and to report them to law enforcers. We urge members of the public to carefully scrutinize any tender invitation that purports to be from SANRAL,” said Mona.
