Modise appealed to the public to collaborate with law enforcement agencies currently investigating these advertisements.
He said it is disturbing to note that the fraudsters request administrative fees of R150 or more for securing jobs in Correctional Services.

“We wish to warn members of the public and job seekers to be vigilant against falling prey to these scams.
“They should immediately report such incidents to the Human Resources unit of the department at 012 305 2000‚ to assist with the current investigations‚ or report the matter to the government anti-corruption hotline 0800 701 701”.
Any job opportunities within the department are advertised internally‚ through the mainstream media and the website of the Department of Public Services Administration.
