ROAD ACCIDENT FUND (RAF) WARNS PUBLIC
ABOUT SCAM
By BRIAN KAJENGO
RAF seriously
advised members of the community to be aware of the con artists that are taking
people’s money claims to be RAF representatives.
Con
artists purporting to be from the “National Road Accident Fund” are soliciting
confidential
information from innocent members of the public, under the pretext that compensation
cheques deposited into their personal bank accounts.
Potential
victims are either phoned, texted, or sent an e-mail containing an attached
form which
falsely utilises a Road Accident Fund (RAF) Executive’s name and an outdated
RAF logo.
In most cases, the people being called have never claimed from the
RAF, nor
have they been involved in road accidents.
The RAF
will not request information from claimants
using an unofficial e-mail account.
Claimants’
information only recorded using an official RAF form containing an official
Logo,
which be viewed on our website, www.raf.co.za. In
addition, any
Correspondence
will have the name of the RAF official, which can verified through
RAF Call
Centre, 0860 23 55 23.
Members of
the public advised to report fraud on the RAF’s anonymous tip-off line
on 0800 00 59 19, or contact the Call Centre if they receive suspicious correspondence.
