SARS emails and sms's

[blunt]

Is anyone else getting SMS's and emails from SARS but log in to find no communication at all?

I get one almost daily but nothing new is in my account.

My return has been filed and refund has been paid as of this weekend, I did do a lot of statements of account last week due to change of banking details having my refund bounce back a few times before I verified my new details... can only assume it's just a massive delay due to the large demand at this time of year.

My wife is getting the same, also nothing new on her account.

Just checked, my mother and a colleague are getting the same.

Oh well, guess whoever is selling SARS sms bundles is happy.

Same here with me and my wife. We had a change in address and received a notification about that, but received more SMS's and emails with nothing on their site.

Yes, I phoned them a few days ago about it. Was told it is system errors and I must ignore it. They have lots of complaints about it she said.

Same here.

Thanks, Ockie.

I didn't do no changes and I can't view the pdf. Says "file is corrupt"

Only thing that is different is the branch code on my banking details. the IRP 5 had the generic code as oposed to the normal branch code.

Haven't tried to phone them as there is nothing on e-filling website under the correspondence section.

I got that one on Sunday. The attached pdf is just dodgey so I mailed SARS's phishing department about it.
Monday I got a more sedate email requesting me to check my correspondence. Nothing new there.
Poor SARS, suffering from a lack of skills again.

The file Pitbull refers to is corrupt, lots of people received that mail on Sunday. Some system error.

I got it once but I went to search of the correspondence and found it and read it and have not received it again (got the SMS on the Sunday after I did the e-filling on Saturday).
