Calls from abroad disguised as local can slip through filters more easily than you'd think. This one originates from a South African VOIP line but ties to a Singapore-based firm pushing investments, likely via scraped B2B data. The foreign accent and CRM reference scream unauthorized outreach, ignoring privacy laws like PAIA and POPIA. Block the number immediately to cut off repeats. Report to your telecom provider and the Information Regulator for POPIA breaches—it's your right to demand data removal. If they call back, record and escalate; persistence often signals broader spam rings. Stay vigilant with unknown investment pitches; they're high-risk for scams.
An overseas accent. Claims to represent a Singapore‑based investment firm, dialing from an RSA fixed VOIP line in CPT. Said the number was sourced from their "B2B CRM" portal. I cited PAIA and POPIA; they refused to delete my personal data.
