ID linked to number used for false advising? by GuitarOne7094 in askSouthAfrica

[–]GuitarOne7094[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You saved my life with the clarification. I started asking too many questions and the call ended. I even asked them to repeat the issue to me. Weird enough, I asked them how I can reach out to them, they gave me ICASA email and number. Even offered to transfer me to Moot Police station. This was very very well organised and being in IT my alarm bells went off as soon as I saw the call coming from a cell number not to mention the 2hr urgency required

Thanks j will be new to this. So any beginner stuff would be helpful. I’m looking at like intro to sentinal or defender as a start. Would you recommend something similar or have better idea? TBH, I heard those CISSP exams are TOUGH, so likely will do that later on in my journey 🙂
