The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has warned members of the public of a scam doing the rounds in various parts of the country, where unscrupulous people are circulating fraudulent tenders under the bank\u2019s name.
\nIn a statement issued by SARB, the email address and the tender documents attached to the email — calling on prospective suppliers to bid for 300 units of MRTX flashlights — is fake.
\n\u201cAll SARB email addresses end with \u2018resbank.co.za\u2019. Suppliers are advised to scrutinise all bids that they receive, including the email addresses of the SARB buyers, as well as other details of the SARB.
\n\u201cIt should also be noted that all procurement at the SARB is centralised within its Procurement Division. If a potential supplier is unsure about a tender purporting to be from the SARB, they are encouraged to contact the SARB\u2019s procurement support desk at supplier@resbank.co.za,\u201d SARB said.<\/p>\n
