Called me on an outstanding BESTMED bill I paid off over a year ago. Demanded they email the details, they said they've emailed it 3 times. Still nothing. Misspelled my name. Company details does not match scols. Since they claimed they're Scs. Just sent SMS after 3rd or 4th annoying call Mr /s XXX. Your Persistence to Ignore Our Urgent Request for Payment on your BESTMED MEDICAL SCHEME Account now Resulted in your Acct being Escalated for Further Action! Phone SCS or Pay Min R1,150.18 within 10days to FNB Refno:20909835 AccNo:62326021780 BrCode:250655, AccName:SCS(PTY)Ltd No phone details in that SMS, still no "4th"email received. Just a demand to pay into that account? Madness

Shalene called about an unpaid laboratory bill, and asked us to call 0873156527, when we call, the call doesn't go through. Clearly a scam!

I received a SMS from 087 043 1523 (who i dont know), stating that my account (that I know nothing of) was handed over to SCS/L Marks attorneys, and I should contact 087 351 6527 to avoid further action. This is probably a scam to collect high call rates charged. Block these numbers!!
