    Banking fraud - where to discuss

    Well, it was only R50, my main concern is not to get the money back, just trying to help other clients that might've experienced the same fraud and didn't notice.

    Banking fraud - where to discuss

    I worked for a major bank in IT for years, dealt with some fraudulent cases, so I have some insight of how criminals operate, in summary: It is a card transaction, not electronic. The amount is small and rounded to R50, that is normally a sign of a criminal method, in other words, take of small...

    My bad, please read my closing remark! Picked up a fraudulent transaction on my banking account, not a scam, clearly an inside job. Would like to know which thread in the forum to discuss this.

    My phone just spoke to me...

    Thanks for the feedback @All, it turned out to actually be Google Assistant, found it on My Activity. Pending further investigation, I presume at this stage that it is a bug. According the history I said "Sorry, sorry" and the assistant responded with "Don't worry about it". Wasn't me :rolleyes:

    My phone just spoke to me...

    Redmi Note 10 Pro lying on desk, spoke to me out of the blue with a British English female voice and said "Don't worry about it". I tested "Hey Google" and the voice is American English, besides the fact that it only activates when my phone is unlocked. PS, my office was completely silent, no...

    Microsoft Office license legit?

    @Mystic Twilight : My main question is how someone can have the audacity to place such a product on Takealot, I suppose there are thousands of products added daily and they don't validate the legitimacy of each product. My other question is how I managed to persuade myself to actually buy the...

    Microsoft Office license legit?

    I purchased a Microsoft Office Professional 2021 key from takealot. I would not normally purchase keys on the web, but since this listing is on takealot, I presumed that it must be legit. Now, the following issues comes to mind: The image shows Office Professional Plus 2021 but the product...
