🚨 SCAM ALERT: FAKE DCS RFQ FOR TACTICAL BOOTS – "Andriaan Van Schoor"

South African suppliers are being targeted by yet another fraudulent request for quotation (RFQ), this time impersonating the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) with the name Andriaan Van Schoor and a fabricated RFQ reference number: DCS 07-2025.

📧 FAKE RFQ DETAILS

DetailFake Information

Name Used	Andriaan Van Schoor
Email Address	Andriaan.VanSchoor@dcs.gov.za (spoofed email or lookalike domain)
RFQ Reference	DCS 07-2025
Product Requested	NES901 B45 Tactical Boots
Delivery Address	Poyntons Building, 124 WF Nkomo Street, Pretoria 0001 (commonly used in these scams)

⚠️ SCAM TACTICS

The scammer sends an RFQ for tactical gear — usually a red flag if you're not in that industry.
You are told it’s urgent and that you may outsource the product — often directing you to a fake third-party supplier.
Once you pay the “supplier,” they vanish — and you’re left out of pocket.

🟥 RED FLAGS TO WATCH OUT FOR

Red FlagWhy It’s Suspicious

Unusual RFQ reference (e.g., DCS 07-2025)	Not listed on official DCS or eTenders websites.
Encouragement to outsource	Legit DCS RFQs require compliance with approved supplier lists.
Urgency and pressure	A common scam technique to prevent due diligence.
Use of spoofed or fake DCS email domains	Scammers often use lookalike domains or forge headers.

✅ PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS

🔍 Always verify RFQs with the Department of Correctional Services via www.dcs.gov.za or call their official contact lines.
✅ Search the RFQ number on the National Treasury eTenders portal: https://etenders.treasury.gov.za
🚫 Never engage with third-party suppliers recommended in unsolicited government RFQs.
