Bottom line: the +27 10 448 1020 line is most often linked to a SABC‑styled debt‑collector scam. Callers typically pretend to be TV licence officials or financial agents, then pressure you to pay an alleged overdue fee. Since the number repeatedly shows up in silent or hold‑type robocalls, treat any unsolicited request for personal or banking details as suspicious. Do not share personal data, hang up if the pitch feels aggressive, and block the number on your device. Report the incident to your mobile provider and the relevant consumer protection agency. Keep a log of call times and any SMS content to aid future investigations.
No TV in my possession; I terminated my SABC permit 15 years back, and they verified it. Got an SMS claiming unpaid balance. Dialed 0104481020 but got no response.
