The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) in Gauteng has issued a public warning regarding fake job and learnership advertisements circulating online. These fraudulent posts entice job seekers with promises of employment but often require payment or the sharing of personal information.
Key Points to Note
- All legitimate job and learnership applications through the DCS are completely free of charge.
- Job seekers should remain alert and verify the authenticity of any job offer before responding.
- The public is encouraged to report any suspicious advertisements to help prevent scams.
- Using only official DCS platforms or trusted employment websites is essential for finding genuine opportunities.
Protect Yourself from Scams
To avoid falling victim to these fraudulent schemes, follow these recommendations:
- Be cautious of job posts requesting payment or personal information upfront.
- Verify job offers by cross-checking with official DCS communications or websites.
- Report suspicious advertisements to the authorities immediately.
- Stay informed through reliable sources such as Job Stall Vacancies for the latest legitimate job updates.
Remaining vigilant and informed can help protect individuals from losing money or sensitive information to fraudsters. Always approach job applications with caution and use only trusted channels.
