The Queen Mzansi actor SK Khoza has taken to Twitter to put South African network provider Vodacom on blast. SK blamed the network for allowing a random person to do a swim swap on his number. This person was able to access his bank account and took his money.
“I am so disappointed @Vodacom.” He tweeted. “How does a random person do a sim swap on my number? Don’t we need identification etc for such, now I sit here with someone having gone into my banking account and took money from me. All because you allow our numbers to be sim swapped by anyone. F…K”
I am so disappointed @Vodacom How does a random person do a sim swap on my number? Dont we need identification etc for such, now I sit here with someone having gone into my banking account and took money from me. All because you allow our numbers to be sim swapped by anyone. FUCK
Some of the actor’s followers commented on his post and revealed that they too have experienced the same problem or know of someone who has. Check out some of the comments below.
@MakaLondeka “A colleague had the same issue. I also received a message last weekend that someone is trying to do a sim swap. How do we protect ourselves from such?”
@ntswaki_impress My younger sister experienced the same thing but luckily she went and changed her number to her Telekom number at the bank before they did anything else She lost her airtime nd data only nd it wasn't a small amount of airtime They tried it again last month
@Ntuthukhathi Oh my God same thing happened to my mom a few days ago.... This is absolute madness
Responding to SK, the network provider apologised to the Queen actor and asked him to please DM them so that they can look into it.
The network provider eventually responded to SK Khoza's tweet.
"Oh no ‘Disappointed face’ We're sorry to hear this and we apologise for your overall experience. Please DM us the number in question and alternative contact details so that we can look into it."
Their response didn’t make their situation any better for the star as he said that it won’t bring his money back. He is handling the situation with his banker. "That won't help me get my money back...I'm handling it with my banker, you guys are just messed up NGYABONGA I'm enough."
Oh no 😞 We're sorry to hear this and we apologise for your overall experience. Please DM us the number in question and alternative contact details so that we can look into it.
