Gaan onbekende Suid‑Afrikaanse nommers na: onlangse verslae (Johannesburg, Kaapstad, Durban, Pretoria) en deel jou ervaring.
Onseker oor ’n Suid‑Afrikaanse nommer? Hier is bondige gemeenskapsnotas om oproepe en SMS’e te beoordeel. In Johannesburg, Kaapstad, Durban en Pretoria kom daar sowel wettige terugbel‑kontakte (aflewerings, banke, afsprake) as golwe van robocalls/phishing voor. Voorvoegsels soos 011 (Johannesburg), 021 (Kaapstad), 031 (Durban), 012 (Pretoria) en 06/07/08 (selfoon) is nuttige konteks, maar bewys nie oorsprong weens nommerportering/VoIP nie.
Verifiëring: bel slegs terug via die amptelike nommer op die webwerf/app, kyk in‑app kennisgewings na en deel nooit eenmalige kodes per telefoon nie. Gebruik toestel/verskaffer‑blokkeerfunksies vir herhalings en laat hier ’n kort, feitelike nota vir ander.

They alleged I was duped by a Mr. Harrison and needed to reverse a transaction, then tried to guide me through a banking app for an instant cash transfer. I reported it to the bank's fraud department, but the original number now always goes to voicemail.
