Vishing Scams

Victims receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from their bank's fraud department. The caller uses spoofed caller ID and asks the victim to approve an Approve-it message or share an OTP to stop a fraudulent transaction.

A caller impersonates a SARS official and threatens legal action or arrest for unpaid taxes. Victims are pressured to pay a settlement immediately to avoid prosecution.

Scammers use AI voice cloning to impersonate a family member in distress, claiming they have been arrested or injured and need money urgently. Victims transfer cash before verifying the call.
