Beware of unsolicited calls claiming urgent tax issues—hang up immediately if they pressure for payments. This scam impersonates SARS officials, using fake tax numbers to trick people into wiring money or sharing details. Never provide personal info or pay over the phone without verifying through official channels like the SARS website or helpline. Report such calls to authorities to help curb fraud. Block the number and consider registering on a do-not-call list for fewer annoyances. Stay vigilant; real government agencies don't demand instant payments this way.
A voice claimed Mr Bongani Baloyi represented SARS and demanded payment for a tax number that closely mimics a legitimate one. This is a spam and fraudulent call.
