SCAM ALERT: Fraudulent email aimed to collect your personal information

The email is said to be coming from "admin@ccma.org.za"

A lot of scams have been making rounds lately and it seems like every week comes with a new scam that is intended to destroy the victims’ lives and  some of them are hard to detect due to the accuracy and proficiency they contain.

The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) has recently been made aware of emails being sent to their users. The email is said to be coming from “admin@ccma.org.za” and it instructs users to come into the CCMA’s Regional Offices for an “Arbitration”.

It also has a Case Number starting with GAJK. It has no branding nor watermarks, which must definitely trigger vigilance to CCMA users. The commission has therefore labelled this email as “FRAUDULENT!!!” and a phishing scam that is aimed to collect personal information.



The commission also urges members of the public to take note of the fact that it does send communication to users but its genuine email will come from different Case Management Officers (CMO’s) in the regions.

The name will appear as a signature at the bottom of the email and all relevant information such as the contact details, office number, and helpdesk number. Also, there will be a CCMA logo and Watermarks.

The commission also advices its users to not entertain nor correspond with the said email from (admin@ccma.org.za). The CCMA is working hard to removing this fraudulent email domain.

If you have any doubts or have been receiving such email you can contact the CCMA call centre at 0861 16 16 16 or email: info@ccma.org.za. To report complaints: complaints@ccma.org.za
