In a statement, LifeLine said that it currently had no vacancies for social workers and labelled the advert as a scam aimed at misleading desperate job seekers. The organisation outlined several key inaccuracies in the ad, including that their offices were not located at Number 133 Jabu Ndlovu Street and that the listed office contact number was not theirs. Concerned by the potential harm caused to unemployed individuals seeking genuine work, LifeLine called for increased vigilance and community awareness. “Scammers often take advantage of the high unemployment rate and create believable posts using trusted organisations’ names. This not only damages our reputation but exploits the hopes of many,” warned LifeLine and Rape Crisis Pietermaritzburg director Sinikiwe Biyela.
