Expert Opinion

Congrats on a prize, the message claims, yet the pattern points to a typical scam. The repeated use of bonus airtime promises and vague references to Vodacom are classic hallmarks of spam operations that aim to harvest personal data or charge hidden fees. Callers often disguise themselves as reputable brands, making it easy to fall for the lure. Best practice is to block the number immediately, delete any related messages, and avoid clicking links or providing credentials. If you’re unsure, verify the offer through official channels before taking any action. Stay vigilant and report persistent offenders to your carrier.
