URGENT: Beware of Application Scams
MUT has also issued a serious warning about scammers actively targeting prospective students and parents.
Common scam tactics to watch out for
- Fake social media posts, emails, and WhatsApp messages pretending to be from MUT
- Promises of “guaranteed admission” or “special access”
- Requests for payment to “secure” a space
Important: MUT has made it clear — the university does NOT sell admission spaces. Anyone asking for money in exchange for placement is running a scam.
These fraudsters prey on desperation and high demand for university admission. Do not fall victim.
The ONLY Legitimate Way to Pay MUT Fees
To protect applicants, MUT has reaffirmed its official payment policy:
All MUT fees must be paid into the official MUT ABSA bank account.
Golden rule
Never pay fees into:
- Personal bank accounts
- Accounts sent via SMS, WhatsApp, or email
- Accounts claiming to “fast-track” or “secure” admission
Only use bank details:
- Published on the official MUT website, or
- Provided in your official admission letter
If the account name does not match Mangosuthu University of Technology, do not pay.
How to Protect Yourself: Quick Safety Checklist
- Verify all information through MUT’s official website (.ac.za)
- Ignore offers that sound too good to be true
- Confirm bank details before making any payment
- Report suspicious messages or accounts
- Share this alert with other applicants and parents
Awareness is the best defence against scams.
