Isolated reports highlight SMS messages falsely claiming default judgments and litigation threats on Telkom accounts, despite no arrears or missing details like reference numbers. This pattern suggests phishing scams targeting telecom users to extract personal info or payments. Block the sender immediately and avoid responding. Contact Telkom directly via official channels to verify any account status. Enable spam filters on your phone and report to authorities like the FCC or local consumer protection agency. Staying vigilant prevents escalation to identity theft—always demand proof before engaging.
