This could very well be a spam message from some chancing criminal. Does the ***3150 match your tax number even? If it doesn't, then you can assume it is spam and ignore! If it does match, then perhaps give SARS a call on 0800 00 7277 to find out what they are talking about. When in doubt about SMSs or emails from SARS, it is best to contact them directly via their website or call centre instead of clicking links or replying to messages that seem questionable.
