Debt collection scam calls – how to stop them!
Summary — +27770990210
Expert Opinion
Definitely, this number appears to be a debt‑collection scam. Callers repeatedly claim you owe money, threaten credit‑profile hits, and demand personal ID, which are classic pressure tactics used by fraudulent collectors. Most reports mention hang‑ups, aggressive language, and a lack of verifiable company details, indicating a scam rather than a legitimate agency. Block the number on your handset and report it to your mobile provider or the national consumer protection hotline. Never share identification, bank details, or make payments without confirming the creditor directly. Keep a log of calls in case you need to file a complaint.
