Look out for these Eskom scammers
South Africa’s power utility warns of a new wave of internet scams claiming money from unsuspecting victims.Once accepted, victims are asked to bring money to fake interviews in Gauteng.
South African power utility Eskom says that a new wave of internet scams is afoot, with threat actors impersonating Eskom itself in order to swindle South Africans out of their money. “Eskom has noted with concern various recruitment scams targeting its power stations.
Once paid to the scammers after or during the fake interview, victims will never see the money again, and they won’t be getting employed by Eskom. Another similar scam sees victims asked to deposit these monies ahead of the interview into scammer bank accounts under false pretences for expenses like PPE gear or medical assessments after the interview.
