Scam alert: Fake application letter purporting to come from Unisa

Unisa calls on its prospective students and other stakeholders to be aware of a fake poster doing the rounds on social media trying to recruit or lure unsuspecting victims into a qualification enrolment scam. Unisa is on record that the poster doing the rounds does not come from the university. It is FAKE news.

Students and other university stakeholders are encouraged to communicate with the university at 0800 001 870 or enquire@unisa.ac.za
