The trick it’s trying
Updated SASSA scam fact-check warns of bogus SASSA home visits and callers asking for OTPs.
Fraudsters pose as SASSA agents by phone or at the door, saying they need to verify a grant, update details, replace a card or confirm an OTP. The source says SASSA will not ask for OTPs, PINs, passwords or banking details and does not conduct unsolicited door-to-door card replacement.
