How to avoid “PAYMENT NOTIFICATION FROM SARS” email scam
What is the “Payment Notification from SARS” phishing email?
The “Payment Notification from SARS” phishing email is a scam email that claims to be from the South African Revenue Service (SARS). The email typically informs the recipient that they have a tax refund or payment due and provides a link for them to follow to claim the refund or payment. The link leads to a fake website that looks like the real SARS website but is designed to steal the recipient’s personal information. The email may also contain a fake attachment, which, when opened, installs malware on the recipient’s computer.
