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.

From MiWay......
Pushed some product, I declined interest, and he lost it. Never share info with such callers. They steal data since they dodge how they got it. Watch for unauthorized charges from Durban outfits. Total fraud.
