A caller spoke in heavily broken English, claiming to be from the ABSA fraud department and that Vodacom had just tried to set up an R99 debit order. When I asked for the exact location, he replied: from the ABSA fraud department in Johannesburg, Somerset West. I laughed, noting he clearly wasn’t South African, and he abruptly hung up. Scammer!

Expert Opinion
This call screams scam—classic impersonation of a bank fraud team to extract personal details or payments. The broken English, inconsistent location (Johannesburg and Somerset West don't match up), and quick hang-up when challenged are dead giveaways. Don't engage with such callers; verify directly through official channels like the real ABSA app or website. Hang up immediately and report to your bank or authorities like the FTC equivalent in South Africa. Block the number to avoid repeats, and consider enabling call screening on your phone for peace of mind. Stay vigilant; these tricks prey on urgency.
