The trick it’s trying
SARS warns during Filing Season that fraudsters impersonate SARS via email/SMS/social media/telephone to obtain taxpayer, banking, eFiling, password or OTP information. Current filing-season guidance directs suspicious items to phishing@sars.gov.za.
Tax-season phishing impersonates SARS and asks for passwords, OTPs, banking PINs or eFiling login credentials via email, SMS, social media or calls.
