The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is warning residents of fraudulent messages and adverts circulating about call centre job opportunities allegedly within the Municipality’s Communications Department.
Please note:
- These adverts are a scam.
- The Municipality does not recruit via WhatsApp messages, SMSes, or unsolicited calls.
- We do not ask for payment, personal banking details, or copies of IDs via informal channels.
All legitimate municipal vacancies are advertised only on official platforms, including:
Official Municipal Platforms
- Municipal Website: https://www.nelsonmandelabay.gov.za
- Facebook: Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality
- X (Twitter): @NMBmunicipality
- Instagram: @nelsonmandelabaymunicipality
- LinkedIn: Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality
Print Media
- Vacancies may also be advertised in reputable and established print newspapers, aligned with municipal recruitment processes.
Residents are urged to verify vacancies directly on these platforms before applying.
If you have been contacted about a call centre job claiming to be from the Municipality, do not respond and do not share personal information.
Help us protect others by reporting suspected scams to the Municipality and sharing this alert widely.
