  • The Facebook page 2020 imisebenzi posts dozens of messages offering jobs and training at private companies and government departments in South Africa, such as Cambridge supermarket , Coca-Cola , Telkom and more. Some of the posts say people with or without a matric – a grade 12 qualification – can apply for jobs with salaries of R6,000 to R15,000 a month. The page has more than 6,000 followers. But all its posts have one thing in common – they link to dodgy websites. Many of the links go to a page called techforno.com . The site is full of pop-up ads that the website owner likely uses to make money from views and clicks. The website doesn’t give people any real way to apply for any job. Signs of a scam The Facebook posts sometimes ask people to comment with the province they live in. This is called engagement bait and is a sure sign of a scam. Similar tactics – posting fake job ads or other offers to lure people to websites – have been used by other Facebook pages. When you see something advertised on Facebook, make sure that any link provided takes you to an official employment or company website.
