Stop entertaining scammers, DCS learnership placements are not for sale<\/P>
February 15, 2023 is the closing date for the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) Learnership Applications. A day that has also been targeted by fraudsters who have been contacting the previous year\u2019s unsuccessful candidates to pay monies in order to secure a placement.<\/P>
We would like to reiterate the call we have been making over the years, never pay any money in exchange for a learnership placement or employment. Instead, report such individuals to the police as what they are doing is illegal.<\/P>
Their tactic is simple, they call either the previous applicant or a referee – armed with detailed personal information. They will then instruct that you travel near a correctional facility and provide various means to transfer money. Never, never fall prey to these dirty scammers.<\/P>
There are no short-cuts and no agents employed by DCS for recruitment purposes. By paying them money, you continue to enrich them to rob more other people.<\/P>
