PPE fraudsters milking Covid-19 crisis

Johannesburg - The Gauteng Health Department has urged personal protective equipment suppliers to be vigilant after fraudsters masquerading as officials ripped off suppliers.

The provincial Health Department issued a caution to suppliers yesterday to be on the lookout for scammers masquerading as department officials with the aim to swindle them of their money. “Fraudsters have taken advantage of the fact that the global efforts to slow down the spread of Covid-19 have resulted in a high demand for PPE across countries, including South Africa,” she said.

The department cautioned suppliers to verify the authenticity of a RFQ before they engaged with any individual or organisation which claimed to represent the department.
