Postbank warns of scammers
Last month, Postbank warned Sassa beneficiaries against fraudsters impersonating its officials, targeting those who use Postbank black cards and Sassa gold cards.
According to the bank, the scam reportedly involves criminals pretending to be Postbank employees, sometimes wearing branded clothing or arriving in marked vehicles, to deceive beneficiaries.
Victims are reportedly told their cards need to be “fixed” or risk losing future grant payments if they do not comply.
“Beneficiaries are then duped into handing over their Postbank grant cards and PIN information,” Postbank said.
Postbank reminded beneficiaries that it does not conduct unsolicited home visits.
“Postbank will never visit your home unless you have requested that through the necessary home visits channels,” it said.
It also stressed that “Postbank will never ask you for your card PIN as that is against banking rules.”
Beneficiaries are urged never to share their PINs, even with someone claiming to be a Postbank official.
