Recruitment fraud

We never ask for money in exchange for a job interview. All our vacancies are advertised through a formal online recruitment process, with each listing providing a unique job reference ID for tracking purposes.

Whether the request is made via email, text, telephonically or in person, you will know it is fraudulent if:

• You are asked for money (we never do this) or personal details such as your passport, ID or bank details, often at an early stage.
• You are asked to provide your bank details before we have made you a job offer. We do not do this either.
• The email address is different to this format: name.lastname@thungela.com. Emails are from free web-based email accounts such as Yahoo, Gmail or Live.com.
• People use cellphone numbers, rather than office telephone numbers.
• There is a guarantee of a job placement.
• It comes out of the blue. We only offer jobs following a formal application and selection process through approved email and telephonic communications, including face-to-face interviews.
• They insist on urgency from the start.
• Any documentation is poorly formatted with spelling and grammatical errors.
• Documents contain outdated branding and logos

If you receive a suspicious email, or want to find out more, email thungela@tip-offs.com or call +27 (0) 11 638 9300.

We recommend that you do not respond to unsolicited offers of employment or those seeking information from people claiming to work for or be associated with us.
