Picture a call from +27871147412 that claims to be from your TV provider or bank. The tone is typically urgent, warning you about missed payments or credit checks, but the number isn’t linked to any official service. Never share personal data such as IDs, bank details, or passwords unless you’ve independently verified the caller. Hang up, log the number, and add it to your phone’s block list. Report the incident to the relevant consumer protection agency or your bank’s fraud desk. Keep an eye on account activity and consider using a call‑filtering app for extra safety.
