The City of Cape Town has urged residents to be aware of recent scammers pretending to be city’s Employee.
According to mayoral committee
member for energy Beverley van Reenen, the perpetrators are using social media;
WhatsApp and Facebook to reach victims pretending their electricity
meters need to be read or tested. She said allows the scammers into homes and
mostly likely steal personal belongings.
“The City’s electricity
generation and distribution department does not have members of staff or
contractors going door to door to check on infrastructure without an
appointment and the City does not solicit or arrange general appointments via social
media,” Van Reenen said.
“When the City needs to visit your home, our
officials will make the necessary appointment with you.”
