I was offered a Discovery Credit Card that already has my name on it. Why is Discovery ignoring POPIA? I never gave consent for them to access or use my personal information.

专家点评
Offering a Discovery credit card and already knowing your name raised immediate red flags. Calls that use a reputable brand often blur the line between legitimate telemarketing and privacy violations under POPIA. Before you share anything, request a callback number and verify it on Discovery’s official website or via their known customer‑service line. Keep personal data such as ID numbers, bank details, or passwords to yourself during the first contact. Pressure to act quickly is a classic scam indicator. Block the number, lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator, and watch your credit reports for unusual activity. Relying on official channels protects your information.
