Link to spam/scam: Some entries and user comments indicate potential concerns, but no conclusive, broadly trusted scam verdict. 4.

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.
