The trick it’s trying
People on WhatsApp claim they can apply for SRD grants or fix a beneficiary’s status through personal cellphone numbers, then request ID numbers, banking details, OTPs or PINs.
Impersonation via WhatsApp: scammers pose as SASSA agents using ordinary mobile numbers and ask for sensitive personal or banking information; the source says SASSA does not use personal WhatsApp numbers for applications/status fixes.
