At Job Mail publishing we frequently inform you of the latest in scam operations. It has come to our attention that there is a new job scam that has begun making the rounds. Ā We advise you to take the time to read this article to ensure you do not fall prey to this con.
The scam description is as follows:
A recruiter position becomes available requesting job seekers to direct their Curriculum Vitaeās to a fax number.Ā This fax number is set up to incur charges beyond standard rates. So if you send your CV to thisāfake recruiterā, you will be charged on your telephone bill at a very high rate.
Now that you are aware of this ploy, your next question probably is, āHow do I make sure that this doesnāt happen to me so that I donāt get conned in the future?ā
To prevent this from happening to you we suggest you:
-Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Always verify your source of inquiry. This means that you need to check the telephone number given in the job advert is in operation (you can do this by making a simple call to test that the telephone line exists and when you call you can ask questions about the job on offer). When you call, if they immediately direct you to the fax line it is best to play it safe and avoid applying for this job. We ask that you please contact us at Job Mail and we will investigate this recruiter
-Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Check that the company is registered to operate. A simple Google search should assist in proving that this company is a legally registered company. If they donāt have a registered VAT number they are not obliged to trade in South Africa. This usually applies to work from home opportunities. For more information on illegal work from home opportunities we suggest you read this post.
-Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Make certain that FAX is not the ONLY means of communication.Ā Many a time; regardless of email listing, the company does not receive calls and only directs communication to a fax number for correspondence. BE AWARE!The company should not have a problem with you emailing your CV if they are a registered recruiter/ employer. If they only have a fax number and are not willing to receive your CV via email 9 out of 10 times this fax number is set-up for the solitary purpose of a con and they get about R30.00 for every document you send.
Remember that it is safer for you as the job seeker to apply online via the Job Mail site. In using the apply button on a Job Mail verified advert you have direct access to approvedjob positions and authorised recruiters. Job Mail makes a concerted effort to ensure that our recruiters and employers are legitimate in order to be fully registered to our site.
Once you are aĀ registered as a Job Mail user you press the apply button and recruiters/ employers get an email with your online Job Mail CV (provided your qualification matches the post they have advertised). Most Job Mail recruiters have access to our system so they can even search for CVās when they are looking for specialised qualifications and skills. It is therefore important for you to update your skills matrix so you appear in these searches.
It is to your benefit to ensure that your online CV is constantly updated so you frequently appear in these recruiters search results. It is important to ensure your profile remains active. After three months of not using your profile on Job Mail it will subsequently deactivated. This means you will not appear in recruiters notifications when they are looking for the perfect candidate.
So remember to apply today using your online Job Mail CV and also make sure keep your account active. Job Mail is the ultimate, safe and secure employment seeking platform but you canāt get a job if you donāt apply!
If you have any details about the above mentioned fax con or any other scams on the Job Mail site, please ensure you contact the following Job Mail representative:
Contact Rose on 012 3423840 (EXT: 2620) or via e-mail: rosep@jobmail.co.za
We hope this post helped you to be savvier when applying for jobs. Where there is a window of opportunity fraudsters will find innovative ways to con you. This is why you need to be aware of the latest ploys so you donāt become there next target!
Thank You from the Job Mail Team.

Thank you for making us aware of such scams. I applied for some vacancies via email and I’ve received replies requesting me to fax my CV and relevant qualifications, but I followed my instincts and didn’t fax anything. What made me suspicious is there is no company name, only a name of a recruitment agency
I feel like such a fool for falling for this ploy. I have always warned everyone else about scams and now I have fallen for the very thing which goes against all my principles. is there no legitimate decent people out there who are willing to work hard for their money like everyone else.
The scamsters who have targeted me is:
Work Services: Mary Nurbitt 086 563 7781
J O B Solutions: Lerato Radebe 086 697 5367
Alpha & Omega Recruitment: Sandy Hathaway 086 697 1188
If only I knew about this scam as I have already sent my 20 page documents through to Work Services. This is so frustrating
Thanks for sharing this details with us. Sorry to hear that you were caught by this scam. Hope you find the job that you need soon!
Thanks lot…even i also got that mails..u can see one mail over here. i was also thinking to send my documents by fax , but i didn’t.

I totally know how Carmel Feels! My husband is a IT programmer so this hits me even worse!
Same names, and numbers, everything!
What worries me is now they have ALL my personal details!
OMH….thank you so much for this website. I was busy preparing to get all my things in order to fax to them…same names and numbers…but i had a nagging thought – which company only accepts faxs in a modern world of technology whereby emails are much easier, faster and efficient. I am desperate for a job – but i had too many things going wrong for me in 2012 – the last thing i want is for 2013 to be a much worse year.
Here are more names:-

I thank God i came across this scam website or i would have been in the same position as everyone else.
Sitara
Thanks for sharing this info with us Sitara. Glad you did not get caught by this!
Hey thanks to my curiosity I have come across this scam warning. I received 2 emails from Lerato and 1 from Carla. Glad to get a response I didn’t even check that they were from different companies, I mean the odds of getting responses from different companies within minutes. I apply regularly and wanted to follow up which post the emails might relate to and what do you know,it’s a scam. Yes I won’t get a job but I have been saved from far worse.
Glad we can help Andile
OMG I did the same thing Carmel says,am worried now since they have all my information.
Hi Zodwa – Thanks for letting us know Blu. Please forward these person’s details to our consultant Rose via rosep@jobmail.co.za or telephonically on 012-3423840 x2620.
Hey Carmel,
I just want to thank you for publishing the above info on here. I believe in researching everyone before I send them any personal info, so when I googled Mary Nurbitt, this post came up. My wife just received several mails requesting her cv and photo, etc… And I thought something was fishy… so google is your friend. Thanks again Carmel, and sorry that you got done in by this. These people are absolute scum.
Secondly, to Jobmail, seeing that we have the details of these people, ie. fax number (The name’s are most likely fake aliases), isn’t there anything that we can do to have these people arrested for fraud or something like that. I mean, Fax numbers are traceable.
Thank you kindly,
Nic.
Hi Nic – Thanks for sharing this story with us. Glad you did not get caught by them. The best is to check with your local SAPS if it’s possible to lay charges of fraud against these people. These 086 numbers are fax to e-mail fax numbers and anyone can create one via numerous services in SA, which means they are not that easily traceable.
I have all those peoples names as well, I can mail it to you as proof. Plus I dint have enuf money to fax my cv I can only mail from my blackberry, hence me looking for a job. Thanks guys for keeping us informed about these scams.
Glad we can help Jay. Please e-mail our consultant Rose via rosep@jobmail.co.za and provide her with the full details that you have.
I received this one tonight but was not previously aware of this scam. Have had so many of these e-mails and normally just delete but decided to check this one out for some reason and arrived here on this site!!!!

Hey Henno Kruger,
Thank you so much for your article. I’ve also received several emails for different “agents”. I’ve been actively searching for a job for the past three years now, and I had never received any emails up until this year. And I was a very suspicious as to why all of a sudden am I receive so many from different people.And when I Google for their company information nothing comes up. Fax to email is expensive, R7.00 per page.Its so frustrating cos I desperately need employment and faxing is costly.
And these people know that everyone is desperate and they play with our emotions. Some say that “application closes in 5 days”
Thank goodness I was stubborn and listened to my instincts, and thank you again for your article. It helped so many people.

Thank you so much for this info, I really appreciate it and will look out for the scams!!! Enjoy your day
i knew it was a scam, i used to receive those email on my gmail inbox. its just a shame that they are trying to steal from people who are really in needs. the best way to know that it is a scam, its to look at the email that the fax number was sent,and check the website , if its not a company or a job recruiting website than you know there is nothing serious about it and it is probably a scam.
A little point I wish to make.. Companies are not in fact required, as far as I know, to be VAT registered until a certain regular figure is obtained in turnover every month, so a lot of the small businesses will not in fact be VAT registered.
The amount by law that a company needs to have as an annual turnover is R1 million. It equates to a monthly turnover of R83 333. If a company has a turnover of less than this averaged over 6 months or annually, they do not, by law, have to be VAT registered – it is optional for any operating business though no matter how low the turnover. From R1 million per annum and upwards, it is the law to become VAT registered as a company.
This has just vindicated what i have been saying before. i once emailed rosep on jobmail complaining about this as i suspected it was a scam. How can a recruiter only accepts faxed cvs and mostly on these expensive fax numbers like 086….. Thanks for finally picking this, it has been on going for quite some time now.
Well thank you very much for this as I have had e-mails coming though asking me to fax again as the fax was not received with my picture and more details, yoh, this is so much helpful, thank you guys you are doing a great job
See emails I have been receiving lately. And they continue under different names….. are these part of the mentioned frauds?

@Pieter Thanks for the feedback. Worknet Solutions have been confirmed as one of these scammers. Please ignore any correspondence from them. Block them on your e-mail if you can.
Most recruiters do not use gmail as the above scammers do. i received dozens of these mails and i got tired of marking them as spam. their approach is far from being professional. even though i was desperate for work, they appeared more desperate than me. taking your time to read what these scammers send is worth it. check for disclaimer info, decent contact numbers and their website to verify their authenticity.
I was retrenched 3 years ago and could not find a job and when this job was published to fax my CV, I duly did and never got a reply. Thanks for advising the public that this is a scam. Is there any trusted ‘person’ in this modern day of ours?
I have about 5-6 guys telling me about the vacant position i had applied for. My suspicion started when the style of writting is similer the things on the text were not changed but the companies were different. there is no specific time one can’t reply on the mail only fax it insane. They are:

Please! I need the key number before 086….. fax no. I am from Egypt trying to send my papers but it is unavailable.
Hey Mostafa – 086 numbers are used in fax scams in South Africa, so be careful. The international dialing code for South Africa is +27, for future reference

Hi what I want to know is where these so called fake recruitment agencies get our details. My mail box also just starte overflowing with these mails requesting my documents and at first I also did fall for this scam because I’m in need of work to provide for my fam and are struggling for 2years now to get job. But then I became Suspicious after most of them requested my documents to be send again, I started to search them on the web and the only thing that came up on most of them were scam related stories. This is one of the mails I also received a few minutes ago and after they requested my documents twice in a few minutes time I decided to search them and the link about them came up on jobmails site. I mailed them back and this is what I asked them in my mail but they did not reply at all.
Hi there no I haven’t send it yet because I have only received your request for the documents a few minutes ago. I’m very skeptic these days faxing my documents to any 086 fax number because this is a very expensive exercise and there are manny scam companies using the 086 numbers to rob job hunters and I have read a lot about these scams.
Please tel my what vacancy I applied for where it was advertised, when and what documents I have mailed you cause I can’t see why you not happy with the documents I have mailed to you. I’m unemployed at the moment and can’t afford to fax cv and certificates to all the 086 requesting documents from me. Like I said I did step in this trap before and lost lots of money faxing my documents to 086 numbers because I do have a lot of documents that goes with my cv.

Hi. How about publishing a list of all the scam fax numbers. Yes they can change them but at least we have some awareness out there of the numbers used.
Hi David. Thanks for your feedback. Yes, you have a good idea there. I will see to it that we get a post out regarding that.
Hi David. As you requested, here is a blog post where we reveal the numbers that are used in fax scams. You can follow this link http://www.jobmail.co.za/blog/an-update-on-fax-to-email-scams/
For the past week I have been receiving these job replies on a daily basis – sometimes up to five a day. This only started happening after I registered as a job seeker on a few of the online job portals: Jobvine, PRWeekJobs (UK) company and a few others I cannot recall. I have also been inundated with messages from the following people(which I have edited as they are in the same vein as those already posted)

I got and followed this link beginning of last week but didn’t reply to anyone of these “recruiters” because i just found it odd that they are names i haven’t heard of here in East London and i thought to myself, the well-known recruitment agencies here are for example Shel…; Profile…; Abantu;etc. My gut feeling just told me to ignore scammers. I’ve been googling these until i got an answer today from you guys when i googled “Sandy Hathaway of Alpha & Omega recruitment”. Thank-you and keep doing what you do. You just don’t know who to trust.

What made me feel suspicious first was the time at which all the “responses” went sent. Secondly all required that i fax my cv etc to 086 faxes. Thirdly i didn’t really make any sense to me that i should fax my photo…photos usually come out in black and white and invisible. Further, with the exception of the first one which actually corresponds with the job i had applied for, the rest do not indicate the job applied for and some do not have a contact person.
I then thought maybe i am over analyzing the mails so after work i decided to respond. However, i would first google the company before send requested documents. I got something on Recruitment Services and nothing on Green Door Solutions and Employment Services so i sent copies of my cv and certificates (7pages). Next was Alpha & Omega and thank God it led me to this Scam Alert.
Thank you so much for the alert.
Thanks for your comment, this is indeed a scam
Thank goodness for this forum. I received one of the above and, as I had been applying for so many positions, I was unsure which one this reply related to, so I googled the fax number and came upon your above discussion and did not fax anything. I have subsequently received 4 similar ones in the last three days. How do I make them stop?
I get my hopes up every time I see there is a reply to one of my applications, just to be disappointed by another scam e-mail. Thanks for saving me a lot of hassle.
Hi Rita – Glad we can help

Thanks for the heads up, I received about five different email of this nature all telling me the same thing last night (like who works at that hour).
What made me suspicious is that they emailed me then told me to fax them in return. Who prefers faxing over email at this time in life, was what came to my mind? Furthermore, usually these noreply emails accounts provide a different reply email account and are normally generic correspondence(robot form writing). In this case, the correspondence was quite specifically referring to me, and even worse not pointing out the position I had applied for and also greatly lacking professional writing or even good grammar.
So started Googling the agencies to ask them for an email at which I can reach them rather, then came across this article.
Funny enough, some of these agencies don’t even show up on the internet.
Tough times, now we have to live on alert mode.
Kind Regards
Glad we could help you Nqobizwe
I sent my CV via email to AJSSolutions yesterday, and during last night (all around midnight) I received 7 emails from various “recruitment agencies”. AJSSolutions is a scam, they just sent my email address to all and sundry (I did not apply o those other agencies, only to AJSSolutions, what gives them the right to distribute my details?), even though they are the ones advertising a job.
Thanks for letting us know Bradley. Please contact our consultant Rose and give her all the details about this. You can reach her via rosep@jobmail.co.za or telephonically on 012-3423840 x2620.

Hi Frik – Thanks for letting us know about this. Please forward our consultant Rose the details via rosep@jobmail.co.za
The situation – in ALL sferes of life in South Africa today – is suspect! How in our Good Lords name can we trust anything anymore! These people should be ashamed – and seriously ashamed (but ofcourse such people never are) about what they are doing to peoples hopes and dreams. Unfortunately the trend in our country is that people like these will not be exposed – they are only numbers and quite definately false namers. Damn them and shame on them. Thankyou for these alerts and everbody’s warnings – everybody should READ this.
Thanks for your feedback Frans. Spread the word about these scams so people don’t get caught by them.
Thank you so much for this article and comments! I also (luckily) googled these companies and found this article! If it weren’t for the comments giving some of the exact scam names I would have faxed everything! So sorry that you guys had to go through it though!

I’m so glad I followed my instincts on this… I’ve been gettin e-mails like the ones u all have been talkin about throughout the day. It started @ 5 in the morning and I also just received one a few mins ago (00:50). I mean which recruitment company emails @ this tym of nyt or morning should I say.
I first became suspicious wen they all started with ‘Dear Gmail’or ‘Hello Gmail’ and then I realised all of them wer written in a similar way and askin for the same things.
But not one of them contained the description of the job that they wer recruiting for.
These are sum of the mails I received:

Good day Sir/Madam,
I’m JOHN by name, my BB pin is 293F1ADE, living and residing in Cape Town.
I’m a Job hunter, who lives and resides in Cape Town, a Bachelor Degree Graduate, from a recognized University.
I’ve applied more Vacancies in several places, but the problem is that, since the past Days, I’ve been receiving Email respond many of them saying I should Fax documents and all other Docs, to be sincere with you, i don’t have any money with me to fax, I’ve just quickly sell my Phones and iron, so that i can get money for all the Faxing.
However, i Faxed all the Documents to them, like 6 different Recruiters, not knowing that they are scammers.
They totally run my life to Death, to sell my phones, and my iron, even borrow money again from my Landlady to make it complete, at the end of all, they are Scammers.
I’m in Sadness and Sorrowful since, bcos I’ve loosed many things, it was one of my Friend that just sent me another BB that I’m using now, so that I can be assessing my Emails and other thing.

HI there
Well I got scammed too – what can we do about these people?
Surely there is a way to track the fax numbers they are using?
Its also sickening that websites are allowing these to be placed on the internet without the proper security check-ups.
Solutions are needed for job seekers – its disgusting that the people that need the jobs are the ones that get scammed – their finances are already stressed and stretched to maximum.
So – what is the solution?
Hi Ros – Thanks for your feedback. You ask some really relevant questions. You could make the SAPS aware of this, if they are not aware of this already. If you find any of these people its also best to report them to the website where the advert(s) are being placed. You can report the scammer(s) that you’ve encountered on Job Mail to our consultant Rose via rosep@jobmail.co.za or telephonically on 012-3423840 x2620.

Thanks for sharing these details Elaine
Please forward this to our consultant Rose as well via rosep@jobmail.co.za 
Thank Goodness for this website I almost faxed my everything to Sandy Hathaway!! I’m so desperate for a job in a way that I can take anything without even checking! Still shocked, I can’t believe I almost lost so much money! Thanks a lot to the website. Big ups!!
Hi Sanda – Glad that we can help. Make sure that you report any other scammers you encounter to our consultant Rose via rosep@jobmail.co.za
A few more names from whom I have gotten requests for information following job applications are as follows:
Syringa Automotive Recruitment Services – Monique
Go-Direct Recruitment Services – no name given
Progressive Job Solutions – Susan Dreyer
Prime Appointments –
South Recruiters – no name given
Universe Appointments – The Recruitment Team
Jobsearch Direct – no name given
SA Employment Services – Marinda
African Pride Services – Thelma Rose
I am taking it for granted that these are also scammers because they also give 086 fax nos. and no reply e-mail addresses. Also, I want to ask whether http://www.jobspace.co.za is a legitemate employment seeker website. Is the scam only to get the extra money from the price of sending the fax or is there other reasons for the scam?
Hi Rachel – Thanks for letting us know about these folks. The best way to confirm if the website in question is a scam or not is to contact our consultant Rose. You can reach her via rosep@jobmail.co.za or telephonically on 012-3423840 x2620. She’ll be able to check, investigate and confirm.
These are the emails I receive almost everyday from same people ever since I started looking 4 a job

Hi Guys
I’ve received the same e-mails from Monday.
I became a bit suspicious because of the time the e-mails were received. All came though around 1:00am in the morning.
I tried e-mailing back but these are noreply e-mails.
Thanks everyone for alerting us.
Kumari
I can’t believe this, what is our country coming to. I fell for it and I really had high hopes but just proves that you really get dick people out there. What happens now? Do they ever try and call you or make contact in some way apart from scam emails. That thing that hurts the most is I told my boyfriend about it, believing that it was true. Now that I have seen this article I know better. So thank you guys for sharing all the information. I hope someone puts a stop to this!!
Glad that we could inform you Louise. Spread the word about this. Share this article with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks for sharing this information Simone. Please forward this info to our consultant Rose via rosep@jobmail.co.za.
Since applying for a job through Jobmail, I have received 21 similar mails in a matter of days. It is now getting to a point where I will have to close my e-mail address and get a new one.
All are the same (just using different names and fax numbers) and want all documents faxed to them. Luckily the first 7 game at the same time which made me suspicious and I did not respond.
Thanks for sharing Cobus. Don’t get caught by these guys!
I’m really afraid….I applied for a job which is definitely scam but now they have my CV with a Photo, my adress and anything else. They sent me those “Fax CV to us” Mails as well after that but it doesn’t change the fact that they already got my Details via a PDF as I applied for the Job. Do I have to assume now to be in big Trouble or is it just that they will sent me further spam?
Do they want just to make money through those faxes or do they now sell all my Personal Information that I could get in Real Trouble?

My question is why haven’t these fake agents been blocked from sending out emails on the Jobmail website? You guys know who they are but yet they are still operational. What’s the point of reporting them if they are still operating with impunity?
They are changing their e-mail addresses regularly when they respond to users, which makes it hard for us to track them and is the reason you need to report them to us.
Good day Vutomi Magayisa

Looking for a jobs online is no longer fun but leaves one feeling disheartened in what others are doing.
After spending hours applying for jobs and upon recieving email responses, I decided to embark on a little research as to the best way to respond and apply to the emails received to maximise my time and effort.
Fortunately my supiscous mind, decided to check the fax numbers because I was frustrated that this was the only way I was being allowed to respond, I then decided to check the fax numbers using google to identifiy the company or recruitment name.
This little exercise was implemented due to the fact I could not figure which advert I had applied to and was trying to link it with the email responses.
Upon doing this I ended up with this website http://www.jobmail.co.za/blog/beware-of-the-new-fax-ploy/ telling that I am being scammed.
Thank your for publishing this horrible activity for all of us to hopefully avoid being effected in future.
So sad that people have to do this to others.
Lesson learnt – always check and let your instinct lead you to hopefully to avoiding being scammed.
Glad we can help Susan
Beware of these numbers still operating this dispicable scam. Thank goodness I did not send anything before checking them out on google. I think that they are also using legit consultancy names which makes it so much harder for the jobseeker to distinguish between a scam and legit agencies.
