Imagine receiving a call that claims to be from Standard Bank, yet the voice sounds generic and the script feels rehearsed. That pattern often points to a telemarketing operation or a scam impersonating a bank. Hang up immediately if you didn’t expect the call, and never share personal or account details. Block the number on your handset and report it to your mobile provider’s spam‑filter service. Keep a log of repeated attempts; multiple nuisance calls are a red flag for a call‑centre spam ring. If you’re unsure, contact Standard Bank directly using official contact details from their website.
Earlier, a woman rang from 012 822 0000 claiming to be from Standard Bank about my account. I knew her tone and said I'd visit the bank myself.
