Surprisingly, the bulk of reports point to a persistent telemarketing effort linked to African Bank. Callers often stay silent, demand personal details, or hang up abruptly, creating a frustrating experience for many. The safest move is to let the call end without engaging and add the number to your phone’s block list. If a bank claims to need verification, hang up and call the official customer‑service line you find on the bank’s website. Regularly reviewing your call‑blocking settings and reporting the number to your carrier can further reduce unwanted interruptions. Stay cautious and keep personal data private.
No clue who these people are.

Pest
Isevisi yezimali ibonakala ingaphansi, ngathola ubunzima bokuxhumana.
I'm utterly revolted by this phone call! Whoever it was acted extremely impolite and disconnected abruptly. If they're contacting me while I'm at work, they ought to at least show some respect and politeness.
akukho lutho
Annoying time-wasters. I refuse to share my identity unless they reveal their caller location.
Telemarketer from a bank
Seems like African Bank, yet total silence throughout. I pick up and wait for it to end... Really frustrating.
Ukushayela kwe-telemarketer kwangiphoxa, kungase kube nomthelela ongemuhle. Ngiyabonga ngokungazisi.
I-Africa Bank iyaqinisekisa ukuthi ngiyathintwa njalo ngocingo olungasizi, kuyadumaza.
These numbers need to be blocked; they are a constant nuisance around the clock.
Ukuthola okungaziwa kuhlale kungcolile, akusizi nhlobo.
This is extremely annoying.
They refuse to disclose their location until I reveal my identity.
A call came from ABSA asking for your address so they can deliver a credit card within business hours.
Beware of scams associated with this number.
Someone claimed to be from Nedbank and, before pitching any product, demanded my birth date and other details to 'verify' my identity. I didn’t trust them and hung up. South Africans are often scammed, handing over info without confirming the caller.
Calls come late at night, interrupting dinner with the family and are extremely irritating.
They rang after dark—why not stick to business hours?
Offering you debt at no cost, but on a huge scale.
Apparently it’s African Bank, likely their debt-collection department—LOL.
