Standard Bank ***** Department Failed My Elderly Father
In April 2024, my 64-year-old father lost R150,000 in a ****. Two *****sters, armed only with cellphones, posed as Standard Bank’s ***** department and manipulated him into “authorizing” a transfer. What makes this worse: Flagged transaction cleared: The bank’s own systems marked the transfer as suspicious, yet it was still processed. ***** reported within 1 hour: Despite the urgent report, the EFT was not stopped or reversed, even though clearance windows exist for exactly this reason. *****ster had a Standard Bank account: How did this account pass FICA and KYC checks? Other banks have been fined millions for the same failures. Weak elder protection: At 64, my father was especially vulnerable. There were no **** warnings, no call-backs, and no cooling-off periods for such a high-risk transaction. No transparency: We were never given proof of recovery attempts, trace references, or confirmation that a suspicious activity report was filed. This shows that Standard Bank’s ***** department is weak. It relies on customers carrying all the risk while *****sters exploit gaps in compliance. South Africa deserves the same protections the UK introduced in 2024 — mandatory reimbur*****t for **** victims, plus special safeguards for the elderly. Right now, Standard Bank has failed my father, and by doing so, fails every South African who trusts them with their savings.

Quality Control Issues with Cadbury Large Bar Lunch Bar 48G
I am writing to you as a long-time consumer of Cadbury products to formally express my dissatisfaction with the recent purchase of the Cadbury Large Bar Lunch Bar 48G. Having purchased a box of 40 bars for R410, I was extremely disappointed to find that several bars were missing peanuts, which are advertised as one of the main ingredients. Moreover, the caramel in all the bars was stale and rock hard, rendering the chocolate bars inedible and not up to the standard I have come to expect from Cadbury. I had previously raised this issue with your customer service team and was offered a once-off voucher for R30. However, this response is unsatisfactory and does not compensate for the poor quality of the product nor the inconvenience caused. It is disheartening to see such a reputable brand fail to maintain its quality standards, and even more so, to address customer complaints adequately. Quality control is paramount in the food industry, and it is clear that there has been a significant oversight in this instance. This experience has not only led to financial loss but also a loss of trust in the Cadbury brand. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate the quality control processes for the Cadbury Large Bar Lunch Bar 48G.

There is no customer care. Experiencing unacceptable network jitter ( can't watch internet protocol TV on Vumatel 50/50 fiber line for days). They don't care. Waiting for days for something to happen, there is no response, no support.

False advertising KFC 21 piece chicken bucket is actually 17 small pieces, half full chicken bucket
Ordered a 21 piece chicken bucket, but only had 17 pieces of chicken in the bucket. So you don't get what you pay for. I paid full price and got 17 small pieces of chicken (bucket was half full) but was advertised 21 pieces of chicken. Is this not false advertising? You are shown a full bucket of chicken with a text saying 21 pieces of chicken, but reality you get a half bucket of chicken and 17 pieces of chicken. What a shady business model KFC runs. I hope your directors know this business model is not sustainable, people will get tried of being short changed.

Pick 'n Pay reduced priced chicken is rotten don't buy it.
Purchased PNP CHICKEN BREASTS (4) PK at little falls. Labelled “reduced priced”, purchased on the 04/04/2021 I live 4km away from little falls PnP, placed in freezer straight away. Defrosted it yesterday and immediately smelt rotten. So your reduced priced chicken is rotten, not right selling rotten chicken, definitely will think twice when purchasing from little falls Pick N Pay Your reduced priced meat products = are in fact rotten hence why the priced is reduced. This is wrong selling rotten chicken

They are a absolute joke in property development the workmanship is so poor, houses built 4000 years ago will put these guys to shame
If you value your money don't purchase property constructed from Genesis Projects property developers. These guys cut corners everyway they can. To name a few the concrete is mixed with so much sand, if you drill a hole in the wall to hold a little picture frame the wall just crumbles, any project in your house becomes a nightmare. They use paint you could wipe off with water and they build walls with broken bricks (had to rebuild wall because of poor workmanship). They are an absolute joke in property development, the workmanship is so poor, houses built 4000 years ago will put these guys to shame.

Tiger Wheel & Tyre Sandton City- I thought these guys were tyre specialists
Went to Tiger Wheel & Tyre Sandton City, to get two new front tyres. I thought these guys were tyre specialists, to my horror see a guy taking an hour trying to take two tyres off two rims and in the process damaging the rims. They have not just scratched my rims they have dented them. On my drive home the car pulls to the right heavily , which means the wheel alignment was not done correctly, but worst of all when I arrived home, I realized the tyres rotation indicators are in the opposite direction. Which means they have put my tyres on the wrong way around on the rim, these guys are a joke to think I waited two hours only to receive this rubbish service!!! Don't ever want to step a foot in that place again!!
