Block unsolicited calls immediately to cut off persistent nuisances. This number belongs to a South African call center operation, likely linked to retail debt collection for stores like PEP or Truworths, even if you've never shopped there—debts can transfer or errors happen. Reports show it's part of a series of similar numbers harassing people for over a month. Register your number on the national Do Not Call list to reduce future contacts. If calls continue, document dates and times, then report to authorities like the Direct Marketing Association. Stay vigilant; ignoring or hanging up quickly works best against aggressive telemarketers.
That 087‑293 series has been blowing up my phone for weeks, clearly a call centre. People online mention PEP’s and Truworths, but I have nothing to do with those stores. Wish every call‑centre number was publicly listed so we could spot them. you know
