A tiny downloadable file is sent from this line, likely aiming to trick the recipient into opening it. Multiple antivirus scanners label the attachment as either a Trojan or a macro‑based threat, so only experts should handle it. The source appears to be either an infected phone spreading the virus or a direct attempt at a computer crime. I strongly advise against downloading or interacting with the file, to block the number and delete the message. Because this activity seems criminal, I will also notify Vodacom about the misuse of their network.
Beware: Persistent SMS spam flooding your phone! - +27 82 008 3707 (082 008 3707)
Summary — +27820083707
Expert Opinion
The number +27820083707 is a classic SMS spam source, flooding phones with MMS that contain a tiny, often malicious file. Recipients report repeated messages that won’t download, files that trigger antivirus alerts, and outright harassment. The safest move is to block the sender on your handset and report it to your carrier – they can flag the number and curb further traffic. Never open or download unknown attachments; they’re a common gateway for malware. If the spam persists, consider using a third‑party call‑blocking app and keep your phone’s OS and security software up to date.

I've had this number blocked for a year now, yet they keep dispatching MMS and attempted calls twice today. Kindly bar this line from the carrier as it's pure spam.
Five messages were sent, then the system replied that the required information is unavailable because it has expired or does not exist. Afterwards an empty SMS/MMS arrived, repeated 17 times up to today, 27 Nov 2023 at 17:09, and the number shows as non‑existent. This should be stopped!
