On 19 August 2025, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) informed the public of the latest scam, an email from an address similar to what SARS uses for eFiling notifications, i.e., noreply@sars.gov.za. The subject line of the email is ‘PROCESS QUOTE LETTER’ and it asks the recipient to ‘Please kindly process sars letter for attention’ linking to a fraudulent website. Please don’t click on the link; it’s a phishing website asking for your personal details.
If unsure, always hover over the link as in the image below to see whether it’s a strange website name. Or, if in doubt, look at our Scams webpage with the latest examples and what to do if you receive a suspicious email.
