Expert Opinion
Imagine receiving a call that claims to be from Telkom Mobile, offering a phone upgrade, only to find the number keeps ringing despite being on your blocklist. The pattern matches classic telemarketing tactics where the caller uses a familiar brand to gain trust. Protect yourself by adding the number to your phone’s built‑in block feature and registering it with any national do‑not‑call registry. Verify any offers by contacting the official Telkom customer service line, never share personal or payment details over the call. Finally, report the nuisance to your carrier and to consumer protection agencies to help curb similar scams.
