      I get several calls from numbers with prefix 088 600. I block them but they just call again with another suffix. If you answer they drop the line - ping call.

    Where does the information on telephone numbers come from?

    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.

    5. unknown has been reported with number ‎0827062101 as Cost trap

      11/18/23, 12:08 PM

      Got an SMS claiming to be Standard Bank Fraud Dept with a message to phone this number. I spoke to Fraud Dept yesterday on their toll free line which is an 0800 number. Makes me think this is a staff member trying to scam me. I did not call as the format of the genuine Fraud Dept sms is not like this.
