Late last week, a wave of calls from +27112562335 kept demanding personal details while masquerading as service providers. The callers usually asked for ID numbers, dates of birth, or bank info before revealing any reason for the call, and often hung up when refusals were made. This pattern matches classic debt‑collection scams that impersonate brands like DSTV or Multichoice to pressure victims. Always verify the caller’s identity by contacting the company directly on an official number, never share sensitive data over unsolicited calls, and consider blocking the number. Reporting the number to your carrier can also help curb future abuse.
Bashaye bangithi badlula izikweletu zikaNedbank, kodwa angikaze ngisebenze neNedbank - ngisho nanye. Bacela ulwazi lomuntu siqu, engikwazanga ukulinika, baqhubeke nokwenza izixwayiso eziningi mayelana nezenzo zobumthetho njll.
They phoned asking for my details and I wouldn't provide them. Claimed to be collecting for Multichoice, but I've never had an account there. I did use their prepaid, though. Service stops when airtime runs out. Now they're saying I owe money, which doesn't add up. I switched from Multichoice due to their poor service to a competitor. On prepaid, how can you owe the provider anything?
The caller demanded my ID and address details without identifying their affiliation. Avoid picking up from this number.
Posing as DSTV to snag your details, what a joke
They demand every bit of your personal info, dude.
The woman requested verification of my personal info without revealing her identity. But as soon as I declined, the line went dead instantly. She's definitely scamming
Kudumele ukuba le nombolo yenkundla yezikhombisi efanayo ne-01125623xx. Ngithole ulwazi endaweni ethile lokuthi lokhu kungabantu abaqokelela izikweletu. Nokho, angekazwanga ukuluhlola ngoba bangishayela ngesikhathi sasingikho ifoni ngiseduze.
Felt wary because she demanded to talk directly without giving her name. Odd behavior
Ignore the incoming call
Bathi bangama-Multichoice futhi bafuna ukuthi unikeze usuku lokuzalwa ngaphambi kokuba bakhulume. Bese beqeda ucingo uma ungakuniki. Uma lena i-Multichoice, ngiyacela niyeke le noma yini.
Le nombolo iyishaya kancane ngama-3 esontweni, kodwa uma ngiphendula akekho othethayo ngaphesheya. Ungachithi isikhathi ukuphendula lolu cinga.
Searching for Melissa Dube - not me. They refuse to believe it's the wrong number and won't disclose their affiliation.
Ungakhokheli laba abaqunjeliwe. Bazenza i-multichoice. Bangishaya uR1000. Kungcono uxhumane ne-dstv ngokuqondile, kuyaphazamiseka!
Better to reject such calls—they claim an account was referred to them but won't specify which until you share your birth date and ID. I hung up after refusing to provide details, yet the lady persisted. Background noise showed others doing the same. Feels totally unprofessional and scammy. They demand personal info but won't explain the issue.
Ababolekisi bezikweletu bakhuluma ngokujwayelekile, abangenalo ulwazi olujulile – okungenziwa kube nethonya elincane.
Kindly explain the purpose of your call before requesting our ID details
They claimed my bank account was needed for a money transfer and requested my full name along with birth date....
Refused to share info until they explained the purpose.
Rang to say my DSTV account's overdue—haven't had one for over 3 years. Asked for an email with proof to check it out, but the kid on the phone was totally clueless and rude about my ask... email never came
Demanding personal info / bank deets and so on .. complete fraud attempt / scam
Never subscribed to Multichoice - pure scam.
They wanted to talk about my account, but I don't have one with DSTV
Umuntu oqokelela izikweletu
Ngishayele emuva ngocingo lomhlaba futhi owesifazane wathi uvela e-Edcon. Ngimbuzile ukuthi ukuphi futhi wathi e-Durban. Wayefuna i-ID yami ukuqinisekisa ukukhokhwa kwami kwe-Jet. Ngimtshele cha, isitatimende sami sikhombisa ukukhokhwa kwami futhi angizunikezi imininingwane.
Ukushaya umoya kuyaphazamiseka, ngicela bangaphindi.
