Scam Alert: Fake SARS Legal Summons Email

Written By Eszter Rapanos

This article will count 0.25 units (15 minutes) of unverifiable CPD. Remember to log these units under your membership profile.

Be cautious of scam emails with subject lines like "LEGAL RULING SUMMON DEMAND AS AT 21 10 2025". These emails include a PDF with a link to a fake SARS website.

Do not click any links. Instead, always type sars.gov.za directly into your browser or use the official SARS homepage to access eFiling.

If you're unsure, check SARS’ Scams and Phishing page for examples or forward the suspicious email to phishing@sars.gov.za.
