Hi everyone. If this is in the wrong category, could one of the admins please move it to the correct place thanks.
About 2 weeks ago my dad opened two Weekender everyday contracts at Vodacom4U at Clearwater Mall.
On tuesday I got a phonecall from a women that says she works for Vodacom, and she wanted to speak to my dad. So I said "Well you need to phone the other number, as I use this number." The women then asked me for the number. I'm thinking well you work for Vodacom surely you have the number? The answer was we are confirming details. So I gave her the number and phoned my dad to tell him, someone from Vodacom was looking for him.
Today my dad got a call from what I assume is the same woman. She said do you have these two numbers. "Yes". Then she read out the first 4 digits of his bank account number and asked him to complete it. As my dad is paranoid (Thank the lord), he asked if he could rather come into the Shop at Clearwater Mall where we got the contracts and confirm it. The answer was, he needs to confirm it over the phone. He then told the person in no uncertain terms using many swear words to get knotted.
I just want to inform everyone. If Vodacom3G wouldn't mind checking if this is standard practise, and if not, please inform someone of this.
My dad has tried to phone Customer Care to inform them, but they seem very busy.
Will try again tonight.
If it's not a scam I apologise to the Vodacom Rep that got pwned
It just sounds very off to me.
