Stats SA warns of fake jobs scam

The Stats SA has warned members of the public of a jobs scam doing the rounds on social media and other channels where members of the public are invited to apply for employment.

Stats SA wishes to caution the public about imposters claiming to represent the organisation and falsely promising jobs, and asking for prepayment to secure jobs for applicants.

Stats SA wishes to officially state that no vacancies are currently advertised and no agency or middle man represents the organisation for the purposes of recruitment.

The public is cautioned that government departments will never ask for payment for recruitment processes.
Where cases of these nature come to light, the victims should lodge a complaint with the relevant authorities.
