Home affairs whatsapp ****

Good day,

I would like to bring to your urgent attention a number being circulated online, namely +***8, which is presented as a WhatsApp booking line for Home Affairs. This person claimed to assist with bookings at Grabouw Home Affairs and took my money, but it turned out to be a ****.

If you search online, you will find this number being advertised as offering Home Affairs booking services, which can easily mislead the public.

I have tried to contact Grabouw Home Affairs directly, but my calls have gone unanswered. I also attempted to report this on the ***** line, but no one picked up there either.

I urge the Department to:

1. Investigate this number and stop its use in misleading citizens.

2. Provide clear and official communication on how bookings should be made.

3. Ensure *****-reporting lines are accessible so that issues like this can be addressed quickly.

Please advise me on the next steps to formally report this incident and whether I should provide proof of payment or communication for your investigation.

Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

Kind regards, Eduan
