Calls keep coming nonstop, and most recipients describe the experience as a relentless telemarketing barrage from an MTN‑linked source. The pattern—multiple rings, silent drops, and pushy sales pitches—matches classic nuisance tactics that exploit caller‑ID spoofing. To curb the disruption, register on the national do‑not‑call list, block the prefix +27873 on your handset, and report persistent offenders to the communications regulator. Consider using a call‑screening app that flags known telemarketing numbers. If the calls turn threatening or request personal data, treat them as potential scams and avoid engagement. Staying proactive reduces annoyance and protects your privacy.
