The Western Cape Department of Human Settlements has warned locals to be on the lookout for online housing scams that demand payment in exchange for government housing help.
The Western Cape Department of Human Settlements has urged residents to be aware of online housing scams that request them to pay for government housing assistance.
The scam targets vulnerable residents who are in need of assistance and are willing to pay to be ‘bumped up the waiting list’. This scam forms part of many online housing scams for which there has been a resurgence. According to the department, several Facebook accounts are making similar claims to assist residents in receiving government housing opportunities – in some instances, impersonating a government official.
