The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is calling upon its beneficiaries to be aware of scammers encouraging them to change their SASSA cards to a certain unknown bank card.
According to a statement issued by SASSA it states that the scammers claim to be working for SASSA and advice its beneficiaries to open an account with a certain invalid bank. The scammers are said to be spreading wrong information that their gold SASSA cards will not have money by the end of June 2022 and need to speed up on opening the new bank account.
SASSA has assured all its beneficiaries that the SASSA cards will continue working until an officially communication is issued.
Beneficiaries are encouraged to continue using their SASSA gold cards to withdraw their grant in retail outlets such as: Pick & Pay, Checkers, Shoprite, Boxer or USave and all bank ATMs in South Africa.
Beneficiaries are urged to report these fraudsters to the nearest police station.
