Expert Opinion

Like a wolf in a business suit, the voice on +27100562831 pretends to be a reputable credit union while pushing a fake debt‑relief scheme. The script usually mentions overcharged installments, an “IT3 credit check,” and a promise of senior‑level follow‑up that never arrives. Such pressure tactics aim to harvest personal data or extract money before the victim realizes the ruse. Never share banking details or consent to a credit pull from an unsolicited call. Hang up, block the number, and report it to your provider or a consumer protection agency. Verify any genuine offers directly with the official institution’s contact channels.
