Users report calls ranging from surveys about mobile service satisfaction to vague questions in African languages. Some callers claim to be from CANSA or other organizations but hang up abruptly or leave cryptic messages. While most calls don’t request personal information, the persistence and frequency of calls are notable. If you receive a call from this number, exercise caution. Verify the caller’s identity and don’t share personal details. If the calls are unsolicited and bothersome, consider blocking the number or using call-blocking features to maintain your peace of mind.
