13 March 2025 – The latest scam is an email indicating that SARS issued a Letter of Demand and that a court summons and blacklisting is imminent. The link leads you to a phishing website, aimed at stealing your information. See the scam prototype here.
Always make sure the email or SMS is genuine before you click on any link.
Protect yourself from scams and phishing:
- Do not open or respond to emails from unknown sources.
- Beware of emails or SMSs asking for personal, tax, banking or eFiling details.
- SARS will never send you hyperlinks to other websites. Watch our short tutorial video on how to spot scams.
