Claimed to be from ABSA requiring authorization for changes to home loan. Yet when I declined to answer questions said that these were not the hard security questions, just residential address etc. But they would need proper verification for an authorization. Scam.

Got a call from these fuckers and they asked me how do I pay my home loan and I said Debit, then she wanted to confirm my email before she can tell me about new products from ABSA, that's when I stopped her right there because that's strange AF. Why ask me to verify my details if you only wanting to tell me about a new product. Stupid scammers!!!

They phoned and said they are a Survey Co. for Absa. Needed to ask a few questions. 1. Am I still happy with Absa? 2. Do I get notified after every transaction? I said I’m not prepared to answer the question and ended the call. I immediately phoned back and the no. does not exist. Phoned Absa fraud Dept and they said the no. does not belong to their Survey companies.
