Scammers follow Sassa beneficiaries who have recently been paid, especially in the Eastern Cape, North West and KwaZulu-Natal. File photo.SA Social Security Agency Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sassa says its social grant programmes have been hit by different kinds of scammers. Recently, the agency has been alerted to a new modus operandi used to scam and defraud social grant beneficiaries.
“This gives the scammers time to load a beneficiary's information onto a new card and withdraw all the money.” Sassa CEO Totsie Memela cautioned social grant clients: “A report has found the scammers follow beneficiaries who have recently been paid, especially in the Eastern Cape, North West and KwaZulu-Natal.”
“We do not know if they also ask the beneficiaries to enter their card PIN. Beneficiaries are advised to always keep their social grant payment card PIN safe and to themselves,” Memela said. Sassa warned social grant beneficiaries to be alert and not to co-operate with anybody who requests their cards in the street or at home for whatever reason, asking the public to immediately report these incidents to the police or Sassa.
