Fraud / Scam Alert
At SendCV.co.za, your trust and safety are our top priorities. Unfortunately, fraudsters sometimes misuse the names of reputable organisations, job portals, or training providers to deceive job seekers. We want to ensure that you are well-informed and protected against scams.
Protecting Yourself From Fraudulent Activities
We want all visitors and applicants to know:
- We never request payment for applications.
- All legitimate job listings, internships, and training opportunities shared on SendCV.co.za are free to apply for.
- If someone asks you for money to “secure a job,” “guarantee placement,” or “unlock an application form,” it is a scam.
- We communicate only through official channels.
- Emails will come from official domains such as @sendcv.co.za.
- We will never use Gmail, Yahoo, or WhatsApp-only communication to offer opportunities.
- We do not guarantee jobs.
- Training programmes and opportunities listed on our site may improve your chances of employment, but no company or recruiter can guarantee a job.
Common Job and Training Scams to Watch Out For
- Payment Requests: Scammers may ask for “admin fees” or “registration costs.” Legitimate employers and training providers will never do this.
- Fake Interviews: Fraudsters may set up WhatsApp or Telegram interviews that do not follow professional processes.
- Too-Good-To-Be-True Offers: Be cautious of job ads promising high salaries with no experience required.
- Personal Information Theft: Do not share sensitive documents such as your ID, bank details, or proof of residence unless you are sure the opportunity is legitimate.
How to Verify Opportunities
- Always cross-check opportunities on our official website: www.sendcv.co.za.
- Confirm whether the organisation is accredited or officially registered with SETA, SAQA, or other regulatory bodies.
- Contact us directly if you are unsure about an offer claiming to be from SendCV.
