We could not identify a specific organisation published under the name “CBM Zimbabwe”. CBM is an abbreviation used by several unrelated organisations, including charities, banks and building material suppliers, so the name on its own does not identify one body in Zimbabwe. Without knowing which is meant, any number we published would be a guess.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We only publish a contact detail when we can read it on the organisation’s own official source, and for this name there was no official source to read. Rather than repeat a number from a third-party directory, we have left the gap and explained it.
What to do instead
- Search for the full registered name rather than the short one. Trading names and registered names often differ, and the registered name is what official records use.
- If you have a document, an invoice or a booking from them, the contact details on it are better than anything a directory can give you.
- If you found this name through an advert or a social media post, treat that as unverified. Ask for a registered company name and a physical address before sending money.
- CBM Zimbabwe is in Zimbabwe, so the South African consumer bodies have no authority over it and a South African complaint route will not reach it.
If you know the official source for this organisation, it belongs on this page. Until then, see how to verify a contact number before you use it and how fake customer care numbers work.
How to check whether a business is real before you deal with it
This applies to any organisation you cannot verify, not only this one. None of it requires special tools, and working through it costs a few minutes against the cost of sending money to a stranger.
- Ask for the registered company name and registration number. A real business gives both without hesitation. Every country keeps a companies register, and a registration number is what lets you check it.
- Ask for a physical address and look at it. A street view that shows a residential house or an empty plot where an office should be tells you a great deal in seconds.
- Check the bank account name matches the business name. This is the single strongest signal. Payment into a personal account for a business transaction is the point at which most money is lost and the point after which it cannot be recovered.
- Be suspicious of a brand new or hidden web presence. A company that claims years of trading but has no traceable history is worth a second look.
- Pay by a traceable method. Instant transfers, cryptocurrency and money-transfer services are chosen by fraudsters precisely because the money cannot be reversed once it lands.
Paying across a border adds risk
A cross-border payment is harder to reverse than a domestic one, takes longer to trace, and falls between two sets of consumer rules. If something goes wrong with a payment from South Africa to Zimbabwe, neither country’s consumer body is likely to be a quick route to your money. Treat any request to pay across a border in advance, to an account you cannot verify, as the highest-risk version of an already risky transaction.
Why an unverified number is the dangerous option
When a name is hard to pin down, directory sites and search adverts fill the gap, and those are exactly the listings nobody checks. A number that cannot be traced to an official source is the single most common starting point for an impersonation scam, because the person answering can claim to be anyone.
- Nobody legitimate needs your PIN, your CVV, your online banking password or a one time PIN. Anyone asking for those is not who they say they are.
- Treat urgency as a warning sign. Pressure to act immediately, to install remote access software, or to move money to a “safe account” means end the call.
- If a caller claims to be from an organisation, hang up and reach it through a number you found yourself on its own website, not one the caller gave you.
- Never pay a deposit or a fee into a personal bank account for goods, a job, a loan or a licence.

Frequently asked questions
What is the CBM Zimbabwe contact number?
We do not publish one, because we could not confirm a number on an official source for this name. Numbers do circulate on directory sites, and we do not republish those.
Why does this page have no phone number?
Because publishing an unverified number is worse than publishing none. A wrong number sends people to whoever happens to answer it, and that is the mechanism behind most contact-detail scams.
Can ContactDetails.co.za find it for me?
No. We are an independent directory with no access to any organisation’s records. We publish what an organisation publishes officially, and nothing else.
