Pretoria - The Department of Social Development has warned job seekers against applying for jobs at the department via Facebook and related social media platforms.
The department said it was aware that there were posts suggesting that both Social Development and the South Africa Social Security Agency (SASSA) have positions available, with SASSA having over 180 jobs available.
“There is a link on each post which takes you to a fake website. At this stage scammers will steal your personal information.
“It seems that the purpose of the scam is to mislead users into giving away their email addresses, amongst other details,” the department said.
The department is said to be looking for clerks and data capturers.
While no such jobs exists at SASSA, the department is indeed looking for clerks and data capturers. – SAnews.gov.za
