SARS Warns of Impersonation Email Scam

Multiple warnings have been issued globally about various scams targeting unsuspecting victims. Scammers are impersonating friends and family, police officers, and employees of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) to steal money and personal information. The San Angelo Police Department cautioned citizens against impostors claiming to be officers demanding payments to clear criminal charges. SARS has specifically highlighted emails that appear legitimate but contain fraudulent links for settling debts, urging taxpayers to verify the authenticity of such communications. Both sources emphasize the importance of vigilance and caution in responding to unsolicited requests for money or personal details.
