Beware of grant scams
SASSA will never ask for your PIN, and does not ask for your ID number or banking details on social media. Fake "payment date" posts, WhatsApp messages and websites are common. Only trust dates from SASSA's official channels, and report fraud to SASSA's anti-fraud line on 0800 701 701.
