I received this exact email from Aphiwe Faith yesterday and I usually ignore those emails but seeing my ID number on the email upset me completely and freaked me out. I stupidly did call the number before I even thought about it because my first thought was that some person had applied to be a vendor with my details. This is all still disturbing to me.

That is almost 30 CM earth drilling bits.
Perhaps for boreholes. Wonder what the scammers want to drill for?

George

I also received the same email this morning - with my id number: I see on the internet that Government actually warming people that this is a scam but I don’t read anything about what Government is going to do to protect our information. Government should be in a position to track the source of this email and arrest those who are running this scam. To simply just warn the public about this scam is not helping me at all.

Very concerning.

It's very disturbing that they have our ID numbers. I'm a government employee - I strongly suspect there has been some leak from our Persal or GEPF
