Warning for anyone living in Cape Town

• The City of Cape Town is warning residents about housing opportunity scams on social media, where fraudsters claim that residents can secure housing opportunities by making a payment.
• The City of Cape Town has made it clear that it will never ask for payment in exchange for housing opportunities, and residents are urged to verify any communication they receive through the City's Human Settlements Call Centre.
• Residents are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious communications to the City, as similar scams have been circulating in the area since earlier this year.
