The grant has provided relief to many South Africans, but scammers and fraudsters have targeted vulnerable individuals by changing their cellphone numbers and stealing their grant payments.

As a result, SASSA has issued a warning and provided guidance on what to do if your cellphone number has been changed.

You should take immediate action if you suspect your cellphone number has been changed by someone else and you have not yet received your SRD R350 grant payment.

The first step is to request a change of cellphone number on the SASSA SRD R350 website https://srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/contact/.

What Do I Do Next

Once you have accessed the website, you will need to enter your AppID (application id) and other required information. Your new cellphone number will be displayed and you will be asked to provide the best reason for changing your cellphone number. Lastly, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to change your SRD R350 cellphone number. Select YES if you are sure.

It is important not to share your personal information with strangers or anyone online. Your ID number, banking details, and cellphone number are included in this list. Verify someone’s identity before sharing any information if they ask for these details. It is important to protect your personal information from scammers and fraudsters who use social engineering techniques to trick people into sharing their information.

In conclusion, if the cellphone number you used to submit your SASSA SRD R350 Grant application has been changed, it is important to request a change of cellphone number on the SASSA SRD R350 website as soon as possible.

Your grant payment will be sent to your new cellphone number, which will prevent scammers and fraudsters from stealing it. Protect your personal information by never sharing it with anyone online or with strangers.
