Labour warns public of fake social media accounts

Friday, July 10, 2015

Pretoria – The Department of Labour has warned members of the public about faked social media accounts opened fraudulently using the Labour Minister’s name.

The accounts are on Facebook, LinkedIn and on Twitter.

One of these accounts, LinkedIn, has asked people to make donations to an International Funding organization.

“The Minister wishes to categorically indicate that this is nothing more than a scam.

“The Minister does not subscribe to any social media platform currently. All South Africans should desist from interacting with these social media pages as they will be conned to pop out money for all the wrong reasons,” the department said in a statement. – SAnews.gov.za
