⚠️ FAKE DCS SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT BROCHURE SCAM

Scammers are once again impersonating the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) — this time by circulating bogus "supply chain management" brochures targeting procurement and logistics professionals.

The message may come from a real-looking email like Ussiel.Abersalie@dcs.gov.za, but asks you to reply to Maurice.Mgedezi@dcs.gov.za — a fraudulent domain not linked to any official government entity.

🚨 SCAM DETAILS

🚩 RED FLAGS TO LOOK OUT FOR

🚩 Red Flag🔍 Explanation

Fake Email Domain	“@dcs.gov.za” in the reply address is fabricated. Scammers often create fake domains mimicking government ones.
Ambiguous Offer	No official tender number, no eTender link, just a “brochure” or “project” for participation.
No CSD verification	Genuine DCS opportunities require compliance through the Central Supplier Database (CSD).
Untraceable contact names	"Phumzile Mabene" and "Maurice Mgedezi" do not appear in any verified DCS staff directory.
