🚨 SCAM ALERT: Fake Tender from "Busisiwe Willie" at SITA – RFI 3067-2025

Cybercriminals continue their fraudulent campaign by impersonating officials from the State Information Technology Agency (SITA). The latest phishing attempt falsely uses the name Busisiwe Willie and a fabricated SITA tender (RFI 3067-2025) to deceive businesses into submitting quotations and sensitive company documents.

🚩 Major Red Flags

Warning SignWhy It’s Suspicious

Email address mismatch	Appears to come from @sita.co.za but uses a fake reply-to domain: @sita-tender.co.za
Unfamiliar contact (Veronica Siyali)	No known employee with that name at SITA
Product doesn’t match real tenders	KC55X R12 Biometric Access System is a common element in fraudulent tenders
Urgent deadline (3 days)	Pressure tactic to prevent verification
Excessive document requests	Used to gather sensitive business and director info for identity fraud
Goods delivered to a valid SITA address	This is used to make the scam appear legitimate

⚠️ What Actually Happens

You receive an urgent RFQ email from a fake SITA official.
You're asked to quote for a large quantity of biometric devices.
They instruct you to buy from a "recommended supplier" to fulfill the order.
Once you pay or deliver the goods, communication stops.
Your money or stock is lost, and the supposed buyer (SITA) never placed the order.

🛑 This Is Not a Real Tender

You can confirm its illegitimacy because:

✅ It's not listed on the eTenders portal
✅ SITA does not use emails like @sita-tender.co.za
✅ No official tender is issued or signed by “Veronica Siyali”
✅ The product description is non-standard and often reused in scams
✅ The contact number +27 12 516 0119 is used across multiple fraudulent tenders
