What people say online: Numerous reverse lookups and user reports exist, with mixed results and comments; no consensus on identity. 3. Link to spam/scam: Some entries and user comments indicate potential concerns, but no conclusive, broadly trusted scam verdict. 4.

Advisability to answer: Not clearly safe or dangerous; given mixed reports, treat as potentially risky to answer without verification.

Did any of you perhaps opened an account with Standard Bank? A lady at the bank told me that she uploaded MyUpdates so that I will get notified about the completion of a transaction and I got the message 123. Just wondered if it could be a SB code of some sorts? I see one person comments that Truecaller identifies it as Standard Bank.

Received a text message from this number and a few minutes later an unknown call. I did not open the text message so Im assuming they did not get a read-receipt from the text message and therefore tried to call. Noone on the other end of unknown caller.
