⚠️ FAKE TENDER SCAM ALERT: “DSD” RFQ from zikhona.sodika@dsdtenderrfq.online

South African businesses are once again being targeted by fake government tender scams. This latest phishing attempt impersonates the Department of Social Development (DSD) and comes from zikhona.sodika@dsdtenderrfq.online — a domain not affiliated with the real DSD.

🚩 Red Flags That Signal a Scam

⚠️ Suspicious Detail❗ Why It’s a Red Flag

Fake domain: @dsdtenderrfq.online	The official DSD domain is @dsd.gov.za. Scammers use lookalikes to deceive suppliers.
Open invitation to “resell”	Real tenders do not encourage you to outsource or participate outside your expertise.
Urgent, 3-day deadline	Tight turnarounds are used to prevent proper vetting or verification.
Pretoria delivery address	A legitimate-sounding address to build trust, yet no record of a real tender.
Automated email excuse	This line — “automated email… system delay” — is commonly used in scams.

🎯 Scam Pattern Breakdown

The scam typically follows these steps:

You receive an RFQ email from a fake DSD domain.
You're told you can outsource the product if you don’t sell it.
Once you quote, you're “awarded” the job.
You’re referred to a “preferred supplier” (who is also fake).
You pay that supplier upfront.
They disappear with your money.
