Yesterday afternoon, a surge of SMS alerts claimed a non‑existent Truworths account was overdue, urging recipients to call a listed number. The messages are poorly written and reference random mobile numbers, classic signs of SMS spoofing. Avoid the temptation to call back; legitimate retailers never demand payment via unknown short‑code lines. Instead, block the offending sender, report the incident to your mobile provider, and forward the text to the national anti‑scam hotline. If you actually shop at Truworths, verify any account issues directly on the official website or by calling the official customer service line listed on their site. Staying skeptical and using built‑in phone filters can stop future scams.
Received a text from this number urging me to contact them over an overdue Truworths account. The message was poorly composed, plus I've never owned a Truworths account. I don't even shop there with cash. I just avoid buying from them entirely. The mobile that sent it is 082 606 7023. Maybe the carriers can trace its owner.
