The trick it’s trying
SASSA fact-check warns about viral posts/forwards claiming a fake SRD increase, including R450 or R700 amounts. These messages are used to drive users to fake application, verification or update processes.
Social/WhatsApp posts falsely claim a higher SRD grant amount and prompt people to 'apply', 'verify' or 'update' details, enabling phishing or fee scams.
