Solar panel scam

THE DEPARTMENT of Labour has been stunned by complaints from the public regarding request for quotation (RFQ) for procurement of solar panels.

The modus operandi has been that the fraudsters use the Department of Labour’s coat of arms (logo), address, name of the building and the contact details of officials to trap unsuspecting members of the public.

The public is urged to exercise utmost caution by verifying any request for quotations with the department before responding.
