β οΈ Watch Out for SARS Scams This Tax Season! β οΈ
As tax filing season approaches, scammers become increasingly active, sending fake emails, SMSs, and WhatsApp messages pretending to be from SARS.
π© Be cautious if a message:
β Promises an unexpected tax refund
β Requests your banking details or passwords
β Contains suspicious links or attachments
β Creates urgency or threatens immediate action
β Comes from an unfamiliar email address or phone number
β
Remember:
β’ SARS will never ask for your banking password, PIN, or one-time password (OTP).
β’ Always access your tax profile directly through eFiling or the SARS MobiApp.
β’ Verify any communication before clicking on links or providing information.
If something doesn't seem right, it probably isn't.
Protect your personal information and stay vigilant this tax season.
