Be warned not to fall for the MTN SCAMS-
They phone you claimin they from headoffice,
1) the scamster say someone is trying to do a sim swop on your number ( must be via inside job) send you OTP numbers on your phone or MTN app, asking you to read back the OTP number.
2) or they talking about incorrect debit orders coming off from your account.
It was a male with a cape accent every time - this is the 3rd time happening.
This time they phoned my secretary. She said they must phone me. Without giving them my number they contacted me. I didn’t answer. I then called back and spoke to the guy with the same accent claiming that he is from MTN HEADOFFICE.
I asked him if i must read him back an OTP number? He said no something to do with nr (2) incorrect debit. I told him that i kno his tricks and that they must come up with a better sceme …
Needless to say he started swearing at my mother and put the phone doen.
‼️Be warned of these after hours calls DO NOT GIVE OUT “OTP” numbers sent to your phone.
Attached is the screenshot of the number that contacted my secretary and the number I called back.
