Every fraudulent call, fake identity, and attempt to steal from innocent people leaves a trail. Your number, messages, payment details, and activity can be reported and investigated.
Do not mistake someone's patience for weakness. Fraud has consequences.
Hang up. Stop targeting people. The next person you call may already know you're a scammer — and may be documenting everything. -

WARNING TO FRAUDSTERS & SCAMMERS
1 Rating for 0770946522 ()
Think twice before you call, threaten, deceive, or attempt to steal from innocent people. Fraud is not a game, and every scam leaves a trail.
Your calls, messages, numbers, accounts, and transactions can be investigated and reported. Trying to hide behind fake identities or changing numbers does not make you untouchable.
Do not test people’s patience, and do not test the law. Stop the fraud before it stops you. -

The distribution of information on scam and spam methods is vital to oppose the leaching of people's purses. To achieve this goal tellows is aggregating a vast bulk of useful information on the caller, including his or her approximate location. The key indicator of a number's trustworthiness is the tellows score which is generated through a complex algorithm fed by your comments and ratings of the respective phone numbers. Hence, the success of this anti-fraud endeavour goes hand in glove with the community's participation. If you have experience on the matter, share it and warn your fellows before the scammers drain their pocket dry.

0127671948Act (POPI) prohibits unsolicited direct marketing. Part B of Chapter 2 of the CPA stipulates that the ‘right of every person to privacy includes the right to pre-emptively block any approach or communication, if the approach or communication is primarily for the purpose of direct marketing’. Meanwhile, Chapter 8 of POPI stipulates that ‘the processing of personal information for the purpose of direct marketing by means of SMS’s or e-mail is prohibited’, unless consent is given. Unfortunately, POPI does not afford one protection against harassing and unwanted phone calls.
If the harassing calls are coming from unknown numbers or numbers that are shown, you can visit your nearest police station and open a case of harassment. The police officer will take a statement and also request your identity document, cellphone and sim card so he/she can record your cellphone’s serial number and sim number.
In South Africa, the Regulation of Interception of Communications Act (RICA) allows police and cellphone network providers to have access to every cellphone users contact number and physical address. The police can use this information to conduct their investigation and trace the perpetrator. Thereafter they will contact the complainant to advise them of the identity of the perpetrator and consult with the complainant on how they wish to proceed. -
