The Minister for Public Service and Administration, Advocate Ngoako Ramatlhodi warns the public to be cautious about responding to enticing posts on his personal Facebook account as they are a scam.
This is after the Minister discovered that the account had been hacked and unscrupulous individuals have posted an update on his timeline - promising a grant from United Kingdom based European Development Fund, which funds development projects such as education, rural development, employment creation and agriculture among others, in the Southern Africa - with intention to swindle unsuspecting followers.
Minister Ramatlhodi warns social network users to guard against criminals posing as public figures with intention to deceive unsuspecting and vulnerable persons over promises of opportunities to make easy money.
