A person is informed that a vacancy exists at the local municipality and is invited to apply for it.
The only condition is that the job seeker is expected to pay a sum of money to the scammer.

Any person who was approached or has paid money to this man should report the matter to their nearest police station,” said Municipal Manager Mr Mkhize.
