Expert Opinion

Imagine a 'free' voucher that silently drains your airtime. The number +27820094684 shows up in a handful of complaints describing unsolicited promotional SMS that promise cash vouchers or clothing discounts, then enroll the recipient in an indefinite R5‑per‑day service. The pattern lines up with classic cost trap schemes, often disguised as legitimate retailers like PEP stores, while the caller claims to be a third‑party. To protect yourself, avoid clicking links, never reply to offers that ask for a subscription, and verify any promotion directly with the brand’s official channels. If messages persist, block the number and report it to your mobile provider for possible SMS spam filtering.

27820094684 Spam Kaboodles o.b.o PEP stores

Watch out for SMS spam ads promising a chance at a R1k PEP Stores voucher or exclusive Takalani Clothing—just a ploy to get you on a R5‑per‑day WASP service that drains your airtime and is hard to cancel. By the way, verify any such promos with PEP Stores yourself. Yo.
