(031) 940-3020

Today, I received calls from:

Private Number x3
0319403020 / 031 940 3020 x2
0310011004 / 031 001 1004 x1
0118189700 / 011 818 9700 x1

All calls, except the last, hung up either before or seconds after I answered, with one having call-centre-like background noise before hanging up.

The final call, the one from the Johannesburg (011) number, did not hang up. The speaker identified herself, and told me she was with The Rewards Company in partnership with Edgars. In short, they tried to sell me a funeral plan.

I declined the offer, and requested that The Rewards Company not contact me again. I explained that the calls bordered on harassment, and she apologised for that and confirmed that outgoing calls are dialed by machine, and are automatically hung up if not answered within 3 rings. She also confirmed that she was calling from Durban (031), but that the call was being routed via Johannesburg.

After completing that call, I contacted Edgars and updated my account to disallow all marketing.

Hope that helps.
