Expert Opinion
If you get a call from +27120031608 claiming to be SARS, it’s almost always a tax scam. The callers often know your ID or address, which makes the trick sound legit, but they’ll pressure you to pay VAT, PAYE or other taxes over the phone. Never share personal information or make payments to anyone who contacts you unsolicited. Hang up, then verify any claim by logging into the official SARS portal or calling the verified SARS hotline. Report the number to the fraud hotline and block it on your phone. Staying skeptical and double‑checking saves you a lot of hassle.

Le ngxoxo evela kwaSARS ibingasizi nhlobo, ngicabanga ukuthi iyadinga ukuhlolwa. Ngiyazibuza ukuthi bayayithatha kanjani le datha.
The call was forceful and harassing, demanding instant payment for overdue VAT, PAYE, and personal tax. What's alarming is the detailed data they possessed—suggesting a SARS breach.
They phoned about unpaid VAT, which turned out to be a scam; they failed to confirm my email and used a random address. When I marked the call as spam, they responded rudely, demanding I explain my implication.
So this guy called, saying he was Kabelo from SARS and demanded I settle some VAT. He nailed my ID number but messed up my email address, and after I corrected him he promised to send the claim via email—never arrived, probably because he wrote it down wrong. His tone was pure bully, and even my accountant had no record of any dues, FYI.

Someone masqueraded as SARS, claiming I had texted for help on 9 Sep 2023. It's a spam call—SARS doesn't accept SMS and isn't open Saturdays. The number is fake; stay cautious.

This morning at 08:10 a woman claimed to be from SARS, asked to verify my identity… I told her she had the wrong number and hung up.
Already on the second ring, I pressed for identity and the caller claimed to be SARS. Might be a staff member moonlighting, given the accurate personal data.
Got a call saying I'm non‑compliant and need to settle my tax, bro. Remember, SARS always emails first before any phone contact—don’t fall for these scams.
She introduced herself as SARS, demanding company verification. When I asked the reason, she refused to explain until I supplied my ID. I requested an email and she cut the call—likely spam.

Shows up as SARS, but when I call back it never even rings, man.
I answered, then the call dropped instantly, lol. Truecaller lists it as SARS.
It's a scam—answer it and just laugh at the other side, lol.
A person speaking Mandarin was searching for an acquaintance of mine, which felt like a fraudulent attempt.
Someone faking SARS, steer clear at any price—they're after your data, btw.
Yesterday a woman using this number said she represented SARS and tried to confirm my details before proceeding. The connection was poor and I was already irritated by state‑owned enterprises calling, so I responded curtly. She promised a return call that never happened—definitely a scam.
Received a SARS follow‑up about my paperwork, by the way.

I was contacted by this number and asked to answer security questions about an alleged unpaid SARS bill—it's a total scam, so avoid sharing any details.
A call came from this number accusing me of owing SARS, and the caller already had my details. When I asked for proof, she warned of legal action in three days. I joked I'd pay her R50 monthly to settle it. Teh unsettling part was her knowledge of my information.
Seems to be from SARS, but I can't tell if it's a scam.
Looks like a huge scam posing as SARS, man.
