⚠️ SCAM ALERT: Fraudulent Tender Using pertunia.manana@tenderdept.online Posing as the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA)
🚨 This message is part of a well-known procurement/tender scam. It is not a legitimate request from the SACAA or any government department.
🚩 Why This Is a Scam
| Email domain is NOT official | SACAA uses @caa.co.za — not @tenderdept.online (which is a scam domain). |
| Encouragement to outsource | Real tenders require you to be capable of supplying the product yourself. |
| Generic “Procurement Department” with no official contact info | No legitimate government tender uses vague emails or personal names not listed on their website. |
| Urgency and short time frame | Scammers rely on pressure to get you to act quickly and skip verification. |
| They’ll refer you to a fake supplier | The next step is usually giving you a fake supplier who will ask for an upfront payment — then vanish. |
🛑 DO NOT:
-
Send a quotation
-
Share your documents or business credentials
-
Make payments to any third party or “recommended supplier”
-
Click or download suspicious attachments
✅ DO:
-
Delete the email.
-
Report it to:
-
fraud@caa.co.za (SACAA official fraud reporting)
-
tenders@treasury.gov.za (National Treasury)
-
-
Verify all tenders via the official SACAA site: www.caa.co.za or eTenders portal
🧠 How This Scam Works
-
Scammer sends a fake RFQ, often with real addresses but fake emails.
-
They say you can outsource to another company.
-
The “recommended supplier” demands a deposit or upfront payment.
-
You lose money — and the scammers vanish.
