Ringtone spam calls – how to stop them!

Expert Opinion
Repeated missed calls and ringtone promos suggest a pattern of automated scams targeting South African users. Many reviewers describe a robotic voice pushing music tracks or demanding money transfers, which aligns with classic robocall and phishing tactics. The safest move is to let unknown numbers go to voicemail, avoid clicking any links, and add the number to your device’s block list. If a message asks for personal or banking details, treat it as fraudulent and report it to your carrier or the national consumer protection agency. Regularly reviewing your call log can help spot repeat offenders early.
