A bulk-mailed SMS phishing call from Vodacom pretending to be from the Standard Bank of SA requesting you call a different number if you had not logged-on to their on-line banking site! THIS IS FRAUD, according to the bank, and the SMS must be deleted with no further action IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT CALL EITHER OF THESE (082) or (067) NUMBERS, but rather inform the bank on their fraud-line.
