Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a call from someone insisting they're from Standard Bank and demanding your credit‑card details. The tone is aggressive, the script pushes personal information and then threatens when you push back – classic red flags of a scam. Even if the caller mentions insurance or debt collection, the underlying goal is to harvest data. Hang up immediately, never confirm your identity or share numbers, and block the +27116780639 ID on your device. Report the incident to your bank via official channels and to the national consumer protection agency. Regularly review your account statements for unauthorised activity and consider a call‑blocking app for added safety.
