SARS’ latest scam alert: Email with summons notification

SARS’ latest scam alert: Email with summons notification

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has cautioned South Africans to be wary of a pdf letter being emailed to people with the email subject line ‘ATTACHED SARS SUMMON AGAINST YOU’. 

According to SARS, scams are updated regularly, so that the subject line may differ. The letter contains a link to a fraudulent phishing website. Please do not click on any links. You should always type in the SARS eFiling address in your browser or click on the eFiling login from the SARS website homepage (sars.gov.za). 

Should you be in doubt, go to SARS’ Scams and Phishing’ webpage, where we will publish examples, or forward the suspicious email to phishing@sars.gov.za.
