Clientele agents giving customers false information

I was in Kagiso mall 30minutes ago,I met a clientele promoter by the name of Thando,he told me they are running a promotion where you can buy some grocery by discount at shoprite.he went through with me to show me how it does work and I was interested only to find out it is actually a **** cos he asked me my banking details and I gave them to him suspeciously then I asked him if hes not signing a funeral policy for me and he said No then I said it's fine cos I don't want a clientele cover,he then call his assistant by the name of Buhle for authorization,the lady came and ask for my phone saying she is saving the office number only to find out that she is actually approving mandate on my phone, something just didn't add up and I just thought I should check my banking app debit checks then I find out that they actually open a funeral cover for me and they approved the debit order without my concern.am just wondering how many people fall for this ****.clientel agents are providing false information to gain customers
