This is an entity who is representing themselves as a Telecom Company. They are scammers who try to trick the public into paying an Invoice which is not valid in any manner!

Scammers contect vi phone and said the mailed a details update form for the white and yellow pages and should be filled in and sent back within 7 days before new directory goes to press.
So filled in form and sent back next week they sent me an invoice payable end of month and I said no cancel ! so they then demanded payment within next 7 days
I then went and looked up email server origin of mail is from another mail account and not Telkomsa The are Posing as Telkom creating a faulse impression!! Now they are demanding a 50 % cxancelation fee for creating an online ad ???

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
