PAYMENT SCAM ALERT 🚨🚨🚨
#emfuleni #scamalert
ELM has received a voice-note of scammers contacting residents, pretending to be from the municipality and demanding immediate payments to avoid disconnection of services.
Please note:
The municipality will NEVER call or message you demanding urgent payment over the phone. We always follow strict procedures.
- Always pay into the official municipal bank account only.
- Never make payments into personal or unknown accounts.
- If in doubt, contact our official Customer Care Centre directly.
Residents are advised to stay safe and remain vigilant!
