Getting a call for an interview after desperately searching for a job can bring so much hope - this is the same hope a young lady experienced recently. Unfortunately, her hope was soon crushed after she traveled all the way to Johannesburg for a supposed job interview.

Taking to Twitter, @gomii_meje explained how she had left her home after receiving news that she had an interview ìn the City of Gold. However, after she arrived here she sadly found out that the interview was a scam.

"Not me coming to Jozi for an interview only to find out it ain’t legit," wrote the broken hearted Gomii.

It seems like she was not the only one who had been caught out or singled out by scammers. Many locals were soon in the comment section sharing how they too were caught or nearly caught by those looking to scam hopeful job-seekers.

Hawks swooped down on two men aged 24 and 27 who had allegedly approached a Limpopo businessman who had received a tender to supply Covid-19 personal protection equipment (PPE).

According to the business owner, one of the men contacted him alleging to be a member of the Hawks and said that a case of corruption had been opened up against him.

After receiving R20 000 the two men were immediately arrested. The Hawks have determined that the two men are not members of the crime-fighting unit and found them in possession of fake documents with the Hawks logo on them.
