Expert Opinion

Recent complaints reveal a steady stream of unsolicited SMS promotions that tout free trials and a chance to win cash, yet hide a recurring R8 per week subscription for shopping discounts. The messages often masquerade as official Vodacom offers, include a sweepstakes hook, and provide a vague opt‑out link that leads to further terms. Avoid clicking any links and never dial numbers you didn’t request. Block the sender in your phone settings, and report the spam to your carrier. Keep personal and payment details private, and treat any unexpected reward claim with skepticism. Stay vigilant to prevent hidden fees.
