Residents have been warned to be on the look-out for yet another scam doing the rounds.  This time the scam involves the South African Social Security Agency, SASSA.

A caller told the Courier that she received a telephone call this morning from a woman claiming to be from SASSA.

“She said she needed my mum’s SASSA card number as they want to deliver a R500 food parcel to the door. Fortunately,  I did not have the card with me. I called SASSA now and they don’t know of any such offer of food parcels. Please inform all your pensioners not to give out their ID numbers and/or their card number as SASSA will never call grantees.”
