Based on the numerous user reviews, the caller with the number +27876541002 appears to be a scammer, likely operating from a call center. The caller claims to represent various companies, including Capital Max, Tactical Online, and Romantic Flowers, but the primary goal seems to be to sell shares or promote investment opportunities, often with a promise of R5000 worth of shares.
The scammers are known to use high-pressure sales tactics, be rude and abusive when questioned, and make false claims, such as having a problem with the target's credit card or needing to verify FICA documents. They also seem to have a lot of information about the individuals they are targeting, including names, surnames, and in some cases, even the names of relatives.
Red flags include the caller's insistence on speaking in Afrikaans, the noisy background noise, and the request for personal and financial information, such as credit card details and overdraft limits. The scammers also become aggressive and abusive when questioned or confronted.
Advice: If you receive a call from this number, do not engage with the caller. Do not provide any personal or financial information, and do not invest in any opportunities they may offer. Instead, hang up and block the number to prevent further harassment. It's also a good idea to report the number to the relevant authorities, such as the National Consumer Commission or the South African Police Service.

'n Afrikaanse vrou het my man vroeër vandag gebel. Hy het haar gesê hy is nie geïnteresseerd in wat sy bemark nie en besig by die werk, toe bel sy hom weer vanmiddag. Toe hy sê hy het haar al voorheen gesê hy is nie geïnteresseerd nie, het sy 'n houding gekry en hom gesê om 'kry maniere' voordat sy neergesit het.
Aggressive pitch for a fast-money scheme. Pushy rep arguing to prolong the conversation. Feels suspicious all around
Lo mfo wase-Afrikaans ushayele ezama ukungiphoqelela ukuba sihlele umhlangano naye. Lapho ngimubuza ukuthi ususelwa kuphi wathi e-Sandton eGoli. Lapho ngimtshela ukuthi angingaseGoli nomu wathi bayizikhungo zikazwelonke futhi bangahlangana nami noma kuphi (Mhlawumbe akunandaba ukuthi ngikuphi, ufuna nje lonke ulwazi lwami mhlawumbe). Ngimtshela ukuthi angingeneli kakhulu ukutshala imali ku-JSE, kodwa wayengiphazamisa njalo engicela izizathu zokungafuni ukuhlangana naye. Emuva kokuthi ngisho cha okwesikhathi sesibili esingamashumi amabili, ekugcineni walahlela izingcingo.
These people rang about arranging a meet for a R5000 JSE share theyre supposedly handing out for free :P lol yeah right
Some nasty woman rang up claiming issues with my credit card, saying she's from one of the big four banks. When I mentioned I only chat with my own banker, she got all snippy 'cause I wouldn't share info. Block 'em quick and ignore their BS stories.
Labantu bangishayela becela u-Johann Engelbrecht. Ngibatshele ukuthi angimazi, angikaze ngihlangane naye, futhi bangisuse enombelweni yami. Ngithole ucingo olubuyayo emizuzwaneni eyishumi ngokusho ukuthi bafuna u-Johann. Ngibatshele into efanayo futhi ngathola 'ah, ngabe kunjalo, uqinisekile?'. Lapho ngitshela ukuba yebo, futhi ngicela bangisuse esizindeni sabo, wathi 'yeboqinisa, sizoshayela kusasa'. Singabikela abantu abanjengabaleli kuphi?
Scam offering R5000, total rip-off
Umuntu okhuluma isi-Afrikaans, wayesazi igama lami, wangitshela ukuthi angikhulumi isi-Afrikaans... Ngamtshela ukuthi yonke ibhizinisi lami ngiyenza ngesiNgisi... Waqeda ingxoxo, kodwa ngiyingxenye yabantu abahlasela laba bathengisi bokushayela ucingo abakhathazayo... Kwazwakala sengathi kuyinkohliso, umsindo ongaphezulu, ubukhaliphile... Kungcono ungaphenduli le nombolo, noma uma uphendula ubamukele ngokuqinile.
Capital Max's Steven... obvious scammer... needs to be caught, though tracing is tough...
Ignore those calls, bru.

Super nice elderly Afrikaans gentleman in English providing an offer of R5000
Irksome
A woman rang using my spouse's complete personal info, claiming verification of his FICA was necessary. When I inquired about the specific account, she refused, stating she couldn't assist me and that they needed to speak directly with him, plus his contact details; she claimed affiliation with four financial institutions. I attempted to call back to confront them, but the line stayed engaged.
Just rang asking for Mr.... [middle name and surname]. I told them it's not his line. How can I assist? They said they needed his number right away, calling from top 4 banks about a major account problem! I offered to talk since we share a joint account. NO WAY. His supervisor would be upset!! I insisted on dealing with me if no number. They ended the call.
Purported financial services company. Total time sink.
Annoying call
Right away, the person on the line turned hostile and insulting when I questioned how they obtained my details. Fabricated a story about my seminar participation, then claimed another person was there and listed me as a contact. I brought up the POPI regulations, leading to more verbal attacks. I ended the call. They rang again solely to spew insults, curse, and hang up. Tried calling back but the line rejects incoming. Total fraud peddling bogus investments.
They won't stop dialing, seriously.
