Interpol SA hit by an online job scam

“Interpol South Africa, therefore, takes this opportunity to enlighten members of the public about the mandate and recruitment process of Interpol. The National Central Bureau (NCB), whose offices are based in Pretoria, is the police service’s lead agency for transnational police investigations linked to South Africa.

“It is a source of international intelligence information enabling police to address South Africa’s crime challenges from a global perspective. It is staffed by trained police officers and support staff who joined the police service through the applicable recruitment processes.”

Mathe said NCB employees in Pretoria assist police with investigations beyond South Africa’s borders. They also share police intelligence with NCB globally to detect emerging crime trends that could affect South Africa.

“Interpol SA urges the public to be vigilant and not fall for any job scam.”
