Unknown calls in South Africa
Unsure about a South African number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. In Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria you’ll see both legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Geographic prefixes like 011 (Johannesburg), 021 (Cape Town), 031 (Durban), 012 (Pretoria) and mobile ranges 06/07/08 do not reliably prove identity or exact location due to portability and VoIP — treat them as context.
Verification: call back via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier blocking for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here to help others.

On 24/1/2025 at 11:21 and three more times at 14:17, I received calls from scammers posing as the ABSA credit card division. They warned me about large fraudulent amounts about to go through my account and, when I denied the transactions, told me I needed to open a new account to transfer all my money, even providing an account number. Do not fall for it – it’s a scam.
