Health warns service providers of fraudsters

It has come to the attention of the National Department of Health (NDoH) that there are certain corrupt companies and individuals who are defrauding unsuspecting businesses in the name of the NDoH.

The scam involves the fraudsters using the departmental letterheads to send out fake Tenders to companies and requests to supply equipment and goods.
Also on the letter the contact person’s name and telephone number, is not the same as the NDOH in Pretoria.

When searching the address on the internet of the company that has sent the fake tender document, it does not exist.

The banking details are in a private name and not company name. The NDOH has alerted the relevant authorities including the SAPS and Hawks to investigate this scam, to protect legitimate businesses as well as the name of the Department.

Should you suspect that you are a victim of a scam, you must urgently contact the police and inform the National Department of Health.

The department will never send you an email asking you to supply equipment and goods without a purchase/order number. The department will not be liable for actions that result in companies or individuals being resultant victim of such scam.
