Scam Alert!
Beware of a recent scam involving a fake Standard Bank account targeting contractors on the cidb database. Verify account details directly on our website to stay safe. Another scam tactic involves fake cidb email addresses, where scammers demand money for promised upgrades and 3-year renewals for a fee. Confirm all communications with us before making any payments to a third party. Our legitimate cidb emails end with @cidb.org.za Contact our support team at 086 100 2432 to confirm any suspicious requests. Stay vigilant and be safe.
