DUNDEE KZN: Job seekers warned of employment scam
"Do not be fooled by people promising jobs that you have to pay for"
Job seekers have been warned that a Facebook post advertising jobs at Buffalo Coal is a scam. The post reads, purportedly on the mine’s Facebook page, thus: Buffalo coal mine:

Kevern Mattison, general manager of Buffalo Coal, warned that the company does not have a Facebook page and that there are currently no jobs available at the mine.
“People must disregard this. We will not advertise posts on Facebook,” Mr Mattison.
The usual scam is for applicants to be asked for an ‘admin fee’ to be deposited into a bank account and after that nothing is ever heard from them again, leaving the job seeker out of pocket.
