"COVID19 related deaths" back to last 3-week average...so the 100+ was anomalous...

Also be careful for bank fraud
I was nearly set up yesterday, very clever but just think twice before taking calls 📞

Never share / give an OTP to anyone...under any circumstances...even if they tell you it will prevent a fraud...as they need the OTP to commit the actual fraud...happened to the wife about 2 months ago but we got into contact with ABSA Fraud within a few seconds and blocked all cards and internet access to accounts...had to go to branch to reset everything to access...

That's exactly what they did
When I refused to give the OTP to cancel the transaction they hung up.
They had my card number ID etc
When I called the number lady answered " good morning Standard Bank fraud division "
Very professional and I nearly took the bait.

I did report to proper division with the number etc
Standard or any other bank will never phone from cell or ask for OTP never repeat the OTP to anyone
