You got a call from +27878035571 claiming to be a debt collector, and you weren’t expecting any bills. The pattern of vague introductions, rushed speech, and pressure to pay is typical of unsolicited debt collector scams. Always ask for a written notice that includes the creditor’s full name, registration number, and a clear breakdown of the alleged debt. Cross‑check the details with the original lender or the National Credit Regulator before handing over any personal data. If the caller can’t provide verifiable information, hang up and block the number. Report persistent calls to the regulator and consider adding the number to a Do‑Not‑Call list to keep your line free of unwanted chatter.
Rang at 7 AM claiming 'collection' duties, but they slur words so fast, half of it's gibberish.
A rude and incompetent fellow who refuses to disclose which company he's calling from; the more I inquire, the more he insists I'm yelling at him. If I intended to shout, I would, but he's stuck like a broken record repeating that I'm screaming.

Got a missed call at 08:30. Called back, assuming it was a possible contractor. A guy picked up. I asked his identity and origin. He muttered a name. Inquired about the purpose of his call. He said it's a debt recovery firm in Bloemfontein, and my case was referred to them. 'I owe nothing,' I responded. He accused me of rudeness. I said if there's an issue, call back—I'm not using my airtime. I hold no accounts, no debts, no overdue payments. Haven't had any for more than 15 years—never defaulted. So who are you, you smug guy, calling from an unlisted mobile for some made-up debt? You're obviously misinformed, unprofessional, and clueless.
