Job seekers and entrepreneurs who wish to do business with the City of Ekurhuleni (CoE) are warned not to pay any person or employee money for jobs and tenders.
This is according to metro spokesperson, Themba Gadebe.
“The City pleads with the public to be vigilant of scammers selling non-existent municipal jobs, and tender documents, to unsuspecting job seekers and businesspersons,” said Gadebe.
“The City has been inundated with businessperson who have been lured into a tender scam to provide waste bins.
“These type of scams are common at this time of the year as unscrupulous elements want to achieve their money-making New Year’s resolutions quicker, and prey on equally disparate residents and businesspersons.”
He said the municipality is urging the public to be smart and not desperate for employment or business to hand money to any of its employees or persons.
