A person purporting to represent ABSA's fraud department sounded very convincing, used the right questions, then tried to persuade me to transfer money via my banking app.
Melissa’s fake bank call – warning signs!
Summary — +27655442444
Expert Opinion
Imagine getting a call from someone who sounds like a bank representative. The caller, introducing herself as Melissa, claims to work on the ABSA fraud line and quickly asks for money through your banking app. This is a classic impersonation scam that exploits trust and urgency. Always treat unsolicited requests for payment with suspicion. Verify the caller by hanging up and calling the official bank number you have on file. Never share personal data or app credentials over the phone. Use your phone’s block feature, report the number to your provider, and log the incident with the local consumer protection agency. Staying vigilant protects your privacy and finances.
