Procurement Scam

Johannesburg Water (SOC) Ltd warns the public of a fake request for quotations, purchase orders and payments scam and advises for necessary precautions to avoid any possible loss or damage. There have been several requests from fake sources claiming to be Johannesburg Water officials, asking for quotations, and sending purchase orders and payment notifications to unsuspecting victims using fictitious email addresses and contact numbers.

Whilst the Johannesburg Water logo and physical and postal addresses appearing on documentation may appear to be correct, on close scrutiny, you will notice that the company’s name has been extended, and the contact persons, telephone numbers, fax and email address are fictitious.

Service Providers are urged to verify the authenticity of a purchase order that they receive through our always:
