Watch out for this sms · impersonating Capitec

The trick it’s trying

A Capitec-themed suspicious-transaction SMS scam tells customers there has been a large transaction and asks them to reply or call a number. A fake fraud-department agent then pressures the victim to act urgently.

Smishing message claims a suspicious transaction occurred on a Capitec account and provides a callback/reply path; the follow-up caller impersonates Capitec Fraud to extract credentials or authorise fraudulent actions.
