SASSA warns grant recipients of 'unscrupulous scammers'
20 December 2018
Social Development Minister Susan Shabangu has urged grant beneficiaries to beware of scammers during the festive season.
"In this festive period SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) would like to urge all beneficiaries to be on the lookout for unscrupulous scammers attempting to cheat them through various dubious practices," the minister said.
She said SASSA advised beneficiaries not to give their SASSA cards or PIN numbers to anyone, including those claiming to be from the organisation or the South African Post Office (SAPO).
"Our officials will never ask you for your PIN," she said.
