Late last week, a call from +27110617499 often sounded like a financial‑services telemarketer pushing credit‑card or limit‑increase offers. These scripts typically request personal details to “verify” identity, a red flag when the call itself is the verification step. Before sharing any ID, pause and ask for a callback number from the official website or app, then hang up. Check the caller‑ID against your bank’s official numbers and report suspicious activity to your provider’s fraud desk. Never give out full card numbers or passwords over the phone, and consider adding the number to a block list if it repeats.
Likely a real Absa contact about raising the credit card limit, yet it's odd to ask folks to confirm info when you're the one who rang first.

Caller claimed Woolworths was offering a credit limit boost - requested my ID - I declined - they recited my ID details and said since they read it to me, I'd need to visit a store for the increase
Cold caller
Hey, it's Nedbank's financial arm pushing AMEX cards, you know?
Ngithole le robo-call yokungenela umncintiswano, kodwa ngiyaxolisa, ayizange ingisize nhlobo. Ngiyabheka kabi le nkonzo.
