Check unknown South African numbers with recent reports (Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria) and share your experience.
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.
Got an 'important consumer announcement' then I hung up and blocked it, classic robo‑call, lol.
Le nombolo ibonakala iyisiciko, ngiyithola njalo ngemuva kokuthi ngiyicelile ukungabizi.
Ukushaya ucingo okungaziwa kuyadukisa, ngithanda ukuthi kube nokunemba.
This is a delivery fraud; the provided website leads to a phishing page.
Lezi zishayelo ezibhalwe njenge-scam ziyahlasela, azikho izinzuzo, ngiyazigwema ngokuphelele.
Seems like a scam; they claim to be from FNB but act unprofessional and rude.
Ukukhangisa kwangempela kule nombolo kuhlale kungifaka ezimeni ezinzima.
Inombolo ethembekile evela kwa‑MULLER TERBLANCHE & BEYERS ATT, ingasetshenziswa ngokuzethemba.
A text message warns me to pay to finalize a Courier Guy delivery, linking to a phishing site. Stay alert!
Purports to be RAM Couriers demanding an unpaid delivery fee – definitely a scam
Automated call—do not pick up.
Received a call claiming to be Miway Insurance offering a 40% discount on my car cover, man, then the speaker said his manager generated the quote and added him to the line, turning it into a three‑person conference – something I’ve never seen from insurers. Definitely fake.
They keep ringing every ten minutes, nonstop, lol.
Während unseres Urlaubs kam fast täglich ein Anruf, teilweise um 20:55 Uhr. Es wurde keine Nachricht auf dem Anrufbeantworter hinterlassen. Könnte ein seriöses Meinungsforschungsinstitut zu dieser Zeit anrufen?
Sie rufen immer wieder an, obwohl man klar gesagt hat, dass kein Kontakt und keine Teilnahme an Umfragen gewünscht ist. Einmal erschien sogar unangekündigt eine Infas-Mitarbeiterin zu Hause, die sofort abgewiesen wurde. Das Ganze wirkt unseriös, da die Belästigung nonstop fortschreitet.
Number: 0861106058.
Нет ответа, просто тишина.
Короче, никаких реакций — просто сбросили.
They reach out at awkward hours and then drop the connection.
No sound on the call.
Use the official website/app number; avoid calling back the unknown number; check in‑app messages.
No. Portability/VoIP make 011/021/031/012 and 06/07/08 ranges unreliable as proof of origin.
Delivery updates, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; robocalls, parcel/account phishing and scripted sales.
Caller type, purpose, date/time, and cues that guided your decision.
