Golden Arrow Bus Services warns jobseekers of fake ticket scams
Golden Arrow Bus Services (GABS) has issued a warning to jobseekers about fraudulent messages claiming to offer free tickets or vouchers. The bus operator urges caution and advises the public to verify any travel voucher offers before sharing personal information
Golden Arrow Bus Services (GABS) has issued a warning to jobseekers regarding fraudulent messages claiming they can secure free Golden Arrow tickets or vouchers through unofficial means. These messages allegedly request individuals to perform tasks, complete courses or surveys, share personal contact details, or "purchase vouchers with codes" in exchange for complimentary travel.
GABS has stated categorically that such offers are false, asserting "GABS is not issuing free tickets or vouchers through these channels." The company has advised jobseekers to refrain from clicking on dubious links, divulging personal information, or making payments in response to these messages. GABS has emphasized that the public should rely exclusively on its official communication channels for legitimate GABS information.
It is crucial to note that this warning does not extend to the Western Cape Government’s Jobseeker Travel Voucher Programme, which is a genuine partnership with its own set of rules and procedures. Jobseekers are urged to verify any travel voucher offer before sharing personal information or making a payment.
