Eskom wants to warn the public about criminals posing as Eskom recruitment agents.
Eskom wants to warn the public about criminals posing as Eskom recruitment agents.
The fraudsters pretend to be recruiters for Eskom and solicit R1 500 from job seekers in order to secure employment.
Once payment is received by these “recruiters”, would be employees are then directed to report to the main security entrance gate or reception area at an Eskom building, only to find there are no vacancies or jobs and the supposed agent has also disappeared.
Eskom urges the general public not to engage with anyone claiming to be an Eskom recruitment agent – especially if the agent requests payment in order to secure employment.
They say that all employment opportunities available from Eskom are advertised on its own website – www.eskom.co.za – and that Eskom would never ask for payment to secure any kind of job opportunity.
To report incidents of fraud, corruption and irregularities involving Eskom, please call Eskom’s toll free crime line on 0800 11 27 22 or email investigate@eskom.co.za to report the incident.
