I once received that kind email. Now that left me wonder,CSD is got a leak which small big business rely on it. Imagine this scammers can crack the system and repeat that,robbing small businesses as people try to creat jobs. at the back of my mind does this mean our government is to be trusted?

Dear All

Please be vigilant when it comes to tendering.

I received this information for RFQ: OPT-20/21-045 for the supply and delivery of QVX4-12L Cutter x10.
Contact person is portiamabitsela@prasa-rail.com

The product can only be purchased from TYK Powertools or VIC Powertools who have the identical website and almost identical contact details.

The spelling on the RFQ was a total give away.

Basically, you receive an email from a government entity, you search for the required product which is usually linked to 1 company as they are a "preferred supplier".
They send you a quotation, you submit your quote to the government entity, you are awarded the tender and receive a PO, you then pay for the product from the supplier who quoted you, and the beauty of it all is you never receive your goods. Luckily, I haven't fallen for this scam, unlike a few unfortunate businesses.

Be very careful of these scammers. I personally do not work on any tender that has been sent to me directly. I prefer to search for the RFQ, the contact person and double check the contact details via google, which most of the time does not exist.

Since registering on the CSD, i receive these scam emails at least once a week.

Take Care

THE EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM PRASA

Roelene

12/4/2021 12:01:38

I did actually phone the reception at Prasa Umjantshi House and the lady who answered named Nosizwe said that she will take my details down and ask someone to phone me and she will send a tender to me.
Now she keeps sending FAKE tenders!
Its ridiculous that a lady at the reception is in cahoots with someone else there and are committing fraud and sending fake tenders out yet they still have their jobs!
What disgusting filth working at PRASA! (and I dont mean that everyone is like that, its the few like this person who is!)

Where can we forward these fake emails/tenders so it can be investigated?

These scam RFQ'S are continously being sent out and we the lucky few that verify prior to quoting do research, however we need answers as to what is being done to protect the businesses that are registering on CSD, if such information can be easily accessed from a government portal we need reassurances to protect our businesses.

URGENT ACTION NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
