An automated call claiming an “important announcement” about debt.

Kukhona izimemezelo ezisheshayo (ping calls) kule nombolo, ngiyazama ukugwema.
Le nombolo ayicacile, ayinakho okuqukethwe okuthile engikutholayo.
For several weeks this line has been doing ping calls—just a single ring before hanging up. I managed to answer once, forcing them to waste a call. Call centres ought to be mandated to publish every contact number on their website so callers can identify them. I intend to lodge a complaint about this number with the Information Regulator.
They hung up as soon as I picked up.

A tiny downloadable file is sent from this line, likely aiming to trick the recipient into opening it. Multiple antivirus scanners label the attachment as either a Trojan or a macro‑based threat, so only experts should handle it. The source appears to be either an infected phone spreading the virus or a direct attempt at a computer crime. I strongly advise against downloading or interacting with the file, to block the number and delete the message. Because this activity seems criminal, I will also notify Vodacom about the misuse of their network.
