Like a ghost from subscriptions past, this unsolicited SMS preys on old accounts to spark panic. The message mimics legitimate billing alerts from DStv, urging a callback to 'resolve' nonexistent issues under threat of suspension—classic scam tactics to extract personal details or payments. Even if you've long canceled services, fraudsters exploit public records or leaks. Don't call back; it confirms your number is active and invites more harassment. Instead, block the sender, report to your carrier or authorities like the FCC, and monitor accounts for unusual activity. Verify any real issues directly through official channels, never via unknown links or numbers.
