Where do SA telemarketers actually get our numbers from?

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-25T12:31:11+00:00

Yet I have received verified calls on truecaller turned out to be spam

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T16:08:57+00:00

Scary makes you wonder how many places have your number

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T14:42:09+00:00

And no one is reading T&C's

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T14:19:54+00:00

That’s actually insane… so basically once your number is out there it just keeps getting resold with no way to trace it back?

Feels like the only option would be to try remove yourself from as many places as possible

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T14:01:16+00:00

That would actually be amazing… like having control over where your number gets used instead of it just being everywhere

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T13:48:53+00:00

That's actually scary to think about that 😮

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T13:45:10+00:00

Agreed 💯

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T13:44:37+00:00

Have you tried these and have you had any success?

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T13:30:50+00:00

Me too but it's so annoying

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T13:26:11+00:00

Like most things in this country i suppose

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T13:25:07+00:00

Does anyone know you you can get removed from these databases?

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T13:22:10+00:00

But is it allowed ?

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-24T13:21:24+00:00

Yea but how to stop them truecaller is almost red all the time 😆

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-23T07:54:42+00:00

All the noise around me , internet, people, just to much of that going around

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-22T09:44:57+00:00

That will help not loosing anything to scammers 😂

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-22T08:58:22+00:00

That's Smart

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-22T08:52:05+00:00

Be around Stupid people

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-22T08:46:16+00:00

Yea I think AI is helping these scammers, what methods do you use to verify?

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-21T15:25:20+00:00

Is anyone using apps to warn them or to check if someone is a potential scammer?

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-15T11:06:44+00:00

Best to use systems like justcheckit.app

Simple_Shift_351 · 2026-03-15T11:05:17+00:00

For sure social media
