The trick it’s trying
SASSA fact-check warns about callers pretending to be SASSA agents and asking for the OTP sent to the victim's phone to 'verify' the account. Sharing the OTP can let criminals access banking or grant-related services.
Vishing caller impersonates SASSA and asks for OTP, PIN, password or banking details under the pretext of verification.
