The JB Marks Local Municipality warns all residents and consumers of a fraudulent communication currently circulating via SMS and Whats App. The fraudulent message instructs consumers to make immediate payment of their municipal accounts to avoid the purported disconnection of municipal services. The message appears legitimate and includes a contact number, email address and banking details, which may make it difficult to distinguish from an official municipal notice. Consumers are urged to exercise extreme caution and not to make any payments or disclose personal or banking information in response to these messages.
