In short: Prestige South Recruitment is a real organisation whose name is being misused by scammers to post fake job offers. Prestige South Recruitment does not recruit through random WhatsApp numbers and never asks you to pay a fee to apply. Any offer demanding money is a scam using its name.

How to stay safe
- A real employer pays you. You never pay to be hired.
- Verify the company on CIPC before sharing your ID or paying anything.
- Apply only through official careers pages, not WhatsApp numbers from a post.
- If you already paid, report it to your bank and SAPS immediately.
