Expert Opinion
Ever wondered why the same number keeps slipping into your phone at odd hours? The calls from +27815049720 are reported as masquerading as ABSA bank staff, often using names like Riaan, and they pressure you for ID or banking details before disappearing when asked for proof. This pattern matches typical social‑engineering scams. To stay safe, never share personal or financial information over the phone, hang up if the caller cannot verify their identity, and block the number in your device. Report the incident to your bank’s fraud desk and consider filing a complaint with the communications regulator. Call‑blocking apps can also reduce future disturbances.

Harassment Call
The person claimed to represent ABSA. The line rings during mornings, yet most calls are silent with no one speaking. When you try to talk, there’s no response, but the connection remains. My spouse experienced the same number, and they attempted to obtain her bank details before refusing to answer further. They said they were from ABSA but could not verify it or provide correct information. Clearly a scam.
