𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺 Drakenstein Municipality wants to alert all bidders to recent scams involving the misuse of information to demand illegal bribes. These actions are illegal, and we want to emphasise that any attempt to solicit bribes is strictly forbidden. There have been reports of an individual(s) impersonating municipal officials, using their names and providing false banking details to trick bidders into making payments. Please note that these banking details do not belong to the Municipality. It appears that fraudsters are accessing tender information from the bid opening registers, which are publicly available on the Municipality’s website, to identify and target bidders. If anyone approaches you, claiming to represent the Municipality and asking for money in exchange for favours, please report it immediately to the Municipality’s hotline at 0800 555 337. We urge all bidders to maintain the highest standards of integrity and to work with us in ensuring a fair and transparent tendering process.
