The Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness has issued a warning about a fake recruitment video circulating on social media that falsely invites people to apply for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) training.
The department says the video, which appears to be created using artificial intelligence technology, is not legitimate and is designed to mislead job seekers.
Department never charges application fees
Officials emphasise that the department will never ask for payment when people apply for jobs or training opportunities. All official recruitment processes are conducted through verified platforms only.
Job seekers who want to apply for genuine vacancies should use the department’s official recruitment portal at https://www.scubedonline.co.za/recruitment_wcdh/vacancy-posting.aspx?login=true.
How to protect yourself
The department advises the public to take several precautions to avoid falling victim to recruitment scams:
- Do not share personal information on unofficial websites
- Do not pay any fees for job applications
- Report suspicious content to authorities
The department is encouraging people to share this warning message to help prevent others from being misled by the fake recruitment video.
Anyone who encounters suspicious recruitment content should verify its authenticity through official channels before providing personal details or making any payments.
