Fraudsters now have a new scam to access your bank account. They pose as cellphone or retail store employees and offer you 'free' airtime or shopping vouchers.

To 'load' the voucher, they ask you for personal information like your ID number and to take a selfie of you. While you think they are registering you for a voucher, they are actually enrolling you on the Money app. They then trick you into handing them your cellphone and they accept the Approve-it message for the enrolment on their cellphone without you knowing.

Tips to keep safe

• Always check with the store to ensure that they are running a promotion.
• Don’t let a stranger take a selfie of you.
• Don’t hand your cellphone to a stranger.
• Read Approve-it messages carefully before accepting them.
