The Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS) is urging taxpayers to remain vigilant and verify every request before sharing personal information or making payments. These messages often contain links directing taxpayers to fake websites designed to steal login credentials, banking details and other personal information. These messages may ask taxpayers to verify banking details, confirm personal information or update their eFiling profile. The promise of an unexpected payment often creates excitement, making taxpayers less likely to question the authenticity of the communication. Similarly, fake settlement notifications often include banking details controlled by criminals or direct recipients to fraudulent payment portals.
