Late afternoon, a surge of calls from the same 010‑prefix number often signals a telemarketing operation tied to a bank’s sales arm. These contacts typically push insurance, overdraft protection or credit‑card upgrades, and they may drop the call as soon as you answer to test if the line is active. To reduce annoyance, register the number on your local Do‑Not‑Call list, enable carrier‑level call blocking, and avoid returning missed calls—scammers can harvest your number that way. If a legitimate bank needs you, they will send a formal SMS or email with clear credentials. Always verify the caller’s identity before sharing personal data.

FNB sales outreach calls
They pushed overdraft insurance which I turned down, yet they keep pestering me. Calls come after hours and early mornings. Tried contacting them to cease, but got stuck in endless hold. Now blacklisted. Finished with them.

They tried to pitch overdraft protection to me.

Caller possessed full banking info and sought verification. Having fallen for scams previously, I spotted the ploy fast and ended the call.

Rang back, seems like a fake call center. Queue number drops like you're advancing, but wait time drags on. Nobody picks up. Total scam, bru.
Babethengisa inshoransi egameni le-Standard Bank. Kwadingeka ngilengise, umfana wayengayeki ukukhuluma ngisho ngemva kokwenqaba.
A point-of-sale number rings daily at the same hour; when I returned the call it went straight to voicemail for what sounded like a US firm—likely a scam.
