1. The Department f health has no business requesting for a quote for solar panels.
2. Building works, infrastructure, installations and maintenance are services offered by the Department of Public Works. 
3. In some cases the supplier would be required to also install whatever is needed.
4. The main question is: Why would the Department of Health make a request for Solar Panels?
5. Before even entertaining the content of the email. The receiver should pick up the most obvious and important Red Flag. The email nonkululeko.ndwandwe@ndoh.org.za is a false email address for any organ of the South African government.
6. The official email address domain for the Department of Health is @health.gov.za.
7. The telephone number provided is not the official  Department of Health number. Do not bother calling the number given. The DOH switchboard number is 012 431 1000 (Always check with the department, agencies etc. on the numbers given on the official websites.)
​8. The name used on the email belongs to a DOH official, that the scammers simply found online & decided to use.
