Experts warn taxpayers to verify communications through official SARS channels before clicking links or sharing sensitive information. Growing trust in AI among South Africans is aiding cybercriminals in creating convincing fake messages, investment offers, and tax documents. The October 23 deadline increases the urgency scammers exploit to prompt people to act without proper verification.
