‘We have been made aware of these so called ‘happy letters’ being distributed in areas in the metro including Valhalla Park and Bishop Lavis. The group of people distributing them claim to be in contact with City Human Settlements officials and the letters seem to indicate the resident has been selected for a housing opportunity in the City’s Valhalla Park housing project. The group of people are also apparently charging residents R20 for the letter. Remember, if you’re offered a housing opportunity that requires cash, it’s a scam.
‘The City once again would like to inform residents that City housing opportunities are free and qualifying residents will never be asked to pay for confirmation of an opportunity, placement on the City’s Housing Needs Register, or for allocation of housing opportunities. We urge residents to remain cautious and verify before engaging with possible scammers,’ said the Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Carl Pophaim.
Remember:
Beneficiaries are reminded to keep their housing registration details updated so they may be contacted when it is their turn for a legitimate opportunity. Visit the City’s housing offices or use official channels to update your contact information.
