A person named Colin, claiming to be from Vodacom, told me I’d won a cash prize and three items in a competition. He sent three SMS messages from a private number pretending to confirm the prizes, kept calling to ask if I’d received a PIN, and urged me to dial *130*888# to unlock it, which I ignored after hearing about similar scams.

Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this caller masquerades as a legit telecom giant to lure you into a trap. The pitch about winning big from a random draw, backed by dodgy SMS from a private number, screams scam. Demands for PINs or dialing codes like 130888# are classic red flags—never comply, as it could drain your account or steal data. Hang up immediately, block the number, and report to authorities or your carrier. If tempted by prizes, verify directly through official channels, not unsolicited calls. Stay vigilant to dodge these predatory tricks.
