Like a persistent fly buzzing around a window, the calls from +27878250670 keep landing no matter how many times you swat them away. The pattern in the comments points to a telemarketing operation tied to Direct Channel Holdings, pushing insurance and financial products. To safeguard your privacy, start by adding the number to your phone’s block list and register with your mobile provider’s Do‑Not‑Call (DNC) service. If the calls persist, lodge a complaint with the Communications Regulator and keep a log of timestamps to strengthen any investigation. Never share personal details with unsolicited callers, and consider third‑party call‑blocking apps for an extra layer of protection.
Calls are made representing ABSA/Hollard/Clientele. If this is their promotion, consider the kind of insurance you might receive! STEER CLEAR of those firms.
Unsure about the identity of the caller.
Check out that link – it's a Call centre scam, bro.
They have been phoning me four to five times daily for two weeks, even though I never answered. I’m finally blocking them.
Following several failed connections to 087 825‑0670 (thanks to VOIP issues in SA), I discovered the caller was from Direct Channel Holdings promoting Hollard Life. Even after I told the lady I was headed into a meeting and couldn’t continue, she persisted in asking why I wasn’t interested. I echo Gatvol’s advice: ignore 087 numbers—they’re typically marketing, insurance or debt‑collection outfits. Pure nuisance!
The line keeps dialing, yet no one ever speaks.
Even if I ignore them, they ring up to ten times daily—I'm fed up, time to block, lol.
Yo Lebo, that's the second time you slammed the handset on my ear—if that's your sales trick, get a new one, it's not working, haha.
I'm fed up with spam callers pushing sales; I'm definatly putting every sales‑call company on a blacklist, bro.
The nuisance caller remains silent until I slam the handset; I’ve warned them I’ll report the number to police, yet they persist.
Over the past weeks, this number kept ringing, but I never answered.
I keep receiving calls nonstop—about eight in four hours, roughly one every half hour, and today was no exception. This pattern has persisted every weekday for the past two weeks.
Calls were made to market life insurance for ABSA; I repeatedly requested removal from their contact list. Each time I was given excuses about ignorance and managers being in meetings, and the call always ended with the line being hung up.
An unwanted harassment call.
A call just came in, but nobody said a word.
When I answer, there’s only silence; calling back leads to a recorded message from Direct Channel Holdings.
Several anonymous calls from 087 8250670 claim to be from Cell C, even knowing my name, yet they reach my Vodacom line; I've investigated this myself.
I was contacted about my funeral policy with Edgars; the representative claimed it was being cancelled and offered to reopen it, insisting I start a new waiting period, which I declined. Edgars later confirmed my policy remains active via email.
Apparently Edgars passes private info to rude, incompetent telemarketers who can’t even pronounce your name before they slam the phone down.
No interaction with thugs or idiots, plain and simple.
Prevent any 087 numbers; they’ll soon receive the notice.
A call came from this number; the person knew my name and claimed to represent Edgars. When I asked if it was a sales pitch—since I owe nothing—I was met with a rude reply, 'I didn’t say I was trying to sell something,' and the call was abruptly ended. The number is now blocked.
