JOHANNESBURG - City of Joburg's waste management company, Pikitup, is warning residents not to respond to fake job advertisements that are currently circulating on social media and other job sites.
It said the fake advert, claiming to be looking for general workers, is an altered version of a legitimate job posting Pikitup issued in May last year.
Pikitup is urging Joburg residents not to respond to the post, saying it enables fraudsters to exploit desperate job seekers.
"Pikitup managing director Ms Bukelwa Njingolo expressed profound concern over the misuse of social media. It is deeply troubling that individuals are using social media to deceive job seekers who are simply looking for employment opportunities. These deceitful acts not only exploit vulnerable individuals but also have the potential to disrupt Pikitup operations," said Pikitup spokesperson, Muzi Mkhwanazi.
