WARNING: Amcare warns about SMS scam
Amcare's name is appearing in an SMS informing individuals that they have been employed by Amcare Alberton Children's Home and need to pay towards a uniform.
COMMUNITY members are warned to not respond to any SMS pertaining to employment at Amcare. Amcare’s name has been pulled into a scam where people have arrived at Amcare to start their new job. This is an SMS scam. The SMS refers to Amcare Alberton Children’s Home and states that money need to be deposited into an account.
Amcare is not a children’s home and has no employment positions available.
“We have been made aware that Amcare’s name is appearing in an SMS, informing individuals that they have been employed by Amcare Alberton Children’s Home and need to make a payment towards a uniform. This is a scam and does not involve Amcare or its staff,” said Nadine Mason, Amcare’s marketing manager.
“Amcare deals with all employment on a very professional level and would not ask for any money in terms of one’s employment. It is also important for the community to note that no individual will receive any message informing them that they have been successful in a job application via SMS.
“In addition, all employment is administered, advertised and communicated via a human resources department,” Mason further explained.
Amcare is asking the community to please share this message on their social media platforms to get the message out there about the scam.
