If you get a call from +27118008000 and the person mentions Eskom or talks about power outages, fault follow‑ups, or emergency services, it’s probably a legitimate utility outreach. However, be wary of callers who pivot to job offers, especially for companies like Sasol, or claim urgent “life‑threatening” situations – that’s a common scam script. Never share personal or banking details unless you’ve independently verified the number on Eskom’s official website or through their customer service. If the call feels off, hang up and call back using the official contact line.
