DISCOVERY BANK
I have a saving account with Discovery Bank, since December 2025 I’m receiving sms. (Discovery Bank: FINAL WARNING Your vitality benefits MUST be cancelled today. click on` https://go.ly/skgsa and update your account by 11:50) I transferred money into my account to update it, someone calls me and says she is from Discovery and ask me to accept the call , while I was logged in on the app, and then tells me to select a certain product for R899. And select purchase. My quick thinking I didn’t do what she requested, and I removed all the funds I had there. This is the 4th sms and it comes with a link. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF ****MERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
