Taxpayers are warned of the latest scam where fraudsters (either via SMS or email) make claims that amounts are owed to SARS. These communications are often titled ‘Settlement notification’ or ‘Final demand’, with requests that a link is clicked to facilitate payment. Should you wish to verify whether any amounts are indeed due to SARS, it is advisable that you verify via e-Filing as opposed to clicking any links. Follow this link for an example of this scam.
