PS40B5 Tactical Backpacks Tender Scam

The email reads:

Good Day Service Provider,

 Department of Correctional Services (DCS) invites all interested service providers/suppliers to submit your quotation. Find attached the RFQ for your attention. Please reply with your quotation if you are interested in this project as soon as possible as it’s urgent.

Kindly be advised that this is an open request for quotation which doesn’t require you as a service provider to be in scope/expertise in the product requested. Rather you can find a supplier for the specific product requested and provide us with a quotation of your company pricing.

The public sector may be required to purchase essential goods and services more quickly

than usual (or will experience substantial demand for particular goods and services).

This may be complicated by supply chain difficulties with previously procured suppliers

being unable to provide the level of goods or services required by the public sector due to stock/resource issues.  

NOTE: All quotations submitted after the closing date has expired will not be accepted.

OFFER TO SUBMIT QUOTATION VALID FOR 3 WORKING DAYS UNTIL THE CLOSING DATE OF THE BID

Please reply to us via email with your quotation if you are interested in this project as soon as possible as it’s urgent

This is a scam!

DO NOT REPLY TO THE EMAIL!

DO NOT REQUEST QUOTES FROM ANYONE!

DO NOT PAY ANYONE ANY MONEY FOR THESE PRODUCTS!

Ask yourself: how is it possible there’s only ONE supplier in South Africa selling this ‘popular product’?
