[South Africa] Public warned against fake website promising UIF benefits
The South Africa Department of Labor is warning the public against a bogus website doing rounds on WhatsApp and other social media platforms promoting the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) benefits. In the website, the would-be fraudsters are promising to help members of the public on how to get their (UIF) benefits.
The fraudsters are advising members of the public on the website. The fraudsters further claim that they have a list of "workers who worked between 1990 and 2018, have the benefits of R33 000 by the Labor Department of South Africa" and that they should check if their name is the right to withdraw this benefit.
The Department of Labor practices the UIF unemployment benefits, and has never published any benefits. The claim is a blatant fake.
Unemployed workers must apply for benefits at their nearest labor center in person. They must be registered as work-seekers and take the necessary documents with them.
The Department of Labor wishes to claim itself from such a claim. There is no list of workers who are due to get benefits.
The Department is also available for FREE .
