JOHANNESBURG - Below is a list of 114 duplicate companies along with their genuine counterparts. Notably, charities such as the SA Guide Dogs Association and the SPCA - which receive many donations by cheque through the post - have had companies registered in their name.
We have good reason to suspect that these duplicates are mostly counterfeits - many established for the express purpose of committing fraud (see our feature article). Given the closeness of the names to the originals none should have been approved by the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office.
This list is meant to be indicative not comprehensive. If your company or organisation has recently had cheques disappear at the South African Post Office, or fraudsters have asked your clients to change payment details, check the list below. You can also check for duplicates by using the "name search" function on the left hand panel on the CIPRO home page. We can be contacted at: [email protected].
