![]() | Anonymous Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa 2016-10-20 10:18:59 Business Venture Scam | Scammer Information Before signing the form, I phoned Wendy and I asked her if it is for the normal Telkom directory. She confirmed that it is. I had no reason to believe that it was not Telkom, even the email address was: directory@telkomsa.net After 2 months I received a phone call from DDR Legal Collections, informing me that I was handed over for Debt Collection , because I did not pay for my "directory listing". I could not believe it, because our Telkom listing account is added to our normal telephone bill. After proper investigation, I found out that the dorm that I signed was actually for "Provincial Directories" for an online google directory. Not once did Wendy explained to me that it was for an electronic directory, in fact she mislead me to believe so was calling on behalf of Telkom. DDR Legal Collections then seriously started their attack on me to pay the money immediately. Now t it is clear that these people were not acting on behalf of Telkom, but trick you into "updating your details" at a cost of R6000. For that amount of money, you surely want to be able to find your own listing if you google your business name? SURPRISE!! I think they must rather call themselves Direct Marketers, since they contact you. Surely there is a law in south africa with regards to: false advertising/misrepresentation etc. And why dont they issue you with an invoice during the 5 day cooling off period, so that you at least have the option to cancell once you realise that you are dealing with crooks here? They never ever issue an invoice, the first invoice you receive is from the DDR Legal Collections? And why does DDR Legal Collections and Provincial Directories belong to the same directors???? |
