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
