⚠️ SCAM ALERT: Fake DCS Tender from “Nobahle Danti” – Ref: RFT-2025-001

A fraudulent tender request impersonating the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) is currently circulating via email, targeting unsuspecting suppliers with an RFQ referencing RFT-2025-001 for 180 NES901 B45 Tactical Boots.

This scam email is signed by Nobahle Danti, a name not officially associated with the department, and often redirects replies to unauthorised or suspicious email addresses not ending in .gov.za.

📧 FAKE EMAIL DETAILS

🚩 RED FLAGS TO LOOK FOR

• Non-government email addresses (e.g., @quote-dcs.online, @rfqdcsgovt.org) instead of @dcs.gov.za.

• The tender is for items like tactical boots, often seen in other recent DCS impersonation scams.

• Request to outsource or find a supplier, even if the item is outside your scope – a classic trick to connect you with fraudulent vendors.

• Tight turnaround times to pressure you into acting quickly without verification.

✅ HOW TO VERIFY AND STAY SAFE

• Check tenders at the official DCS website or eTenders portal.

• Do not engage with any email not from a verified .gov.za domain.

• Report suspected scams to:

  • 📧 fraud@treasury.gov.za

  • 📧 cybersecurity@cybersecurity.org.za

  • 📞 SAPS Commercial Crimes Unit

🔍 Common Patterns in DCS Tender Scams

• Reference numbers like DCS 07-2025, RFT-2025-001, etc.

• Product focus: tactical boots, generators, or high-demand government supplies.

• Return contact details divert to Gmail, Outlook, or fake “government” domains.
