Imagine getting a call that promises R5 000 in free shares and then turns hostile the moment you say no. The pattern emerging from dozens of reports points to a spoofed Capital One telemarketing scam that uses aggressive scripts, switches languages, and repeats the offer until the target hangs up. Callers often claim affiliation with major banks or a “stockbroker” to add credibility. To stay safe, never share personal or financial details, block the number, and report the incident to your carrier or the national consumer protection agency. Block the caller and report the scam promptly.
They wouldn't stop bombarding me with messages... good job pulling that off in Afrikaans, hey.
Says they're offering free shares valued at R5000. Hung up right in my ear after I refused to reveal my employer's name.
Woman phoned claiming her boss instructed her to obtain my spouse's info. Queried the purpose, she claimed ignorance and just followed orders. Refused details when I offered to handle it myself. Turned sharp when I said he's unavailable, demanding a better time to ring. Identified as Direct Online, partnering with all big four banks. Requested a callback line, but she insisted none exists. She's dialed twice within seconds.
A woman rang wanting my husband, claiming her boss instructed her to connect him, saying she reps all four big banks. I told her he was out and asked the purpose. She claimed ignorance. I requested a transfer to her supervisor for details. She turned nasty, threatened to freeze his account, and disconnected. She called right back, hung up upon hearing my voice, and when I tried returning the call, it said the line was invalid.

Umuntu kade kabi kakhulu
Baphoqelela kakhulu futhi banolaka. Umkhonyovu
Persistent ringing. Even rudeness fails to stop them
Super annoying, nasty, and plain rude, shame!
The guy inquired about my Afrikaans skills, I replied negatively. He proceeded in Afrikaans anyway. I expressed disinterest and hung up. He kept calling until I blocked him on the reject list
Total scam promising R5000 in shares... seriously, block them or prank by setting up a dawn meet at a bogus spot... crooks like these deserve to be locked up
Owesifazane onobuthakathaka kunabanye bonke. Angikaze ngifune ukushaya umuntu ngokuphathekayo njengalokhu ngalowo esele ekhona ngaphesheya kwezintambo. Ongenamahloni, ongayeki futhi ongahloniphi, ngithemba uyifundile lokhu. Hamba wena
This is clearly a fraudulent call, watch out.
Abakhabo abakude doos. Ubani onganikeza uR5000 ukuze enze imali ngempela. Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi bakhwabanisa abantu abaningi
Abrupt, rude, and overly aggressive behavior.
The most obnoxious bastard I've ever spoken to on a call. I've never felt such an urge to deck someone as I did this jerk. He's pushy, disrespectful, and rude—hope you're seeing this. Screw you
Call from a telemarketer.
Ufuna ukukudayisela into efundwa eskrifini. Bangishaye izolo, ngivume, namhlanje baphinde. Ai, lokho luyathukuthela!
