Bad customer relations: My cellphone account with Telkom was in arrears with R 485 for 20 days. Instead of contacting me for an arrangement, I received a threatening letter from NuDebt Management (Pty) Ltd, who made a huge fuss about a small issue. No, Telkom, this is not the way to treats a client who has been with you for many years. I am very disappointed. I am sure the other service providers treat their clients better.
I shared my disaster with Banxso with the readers here, on Hellopeter, about 2 weeks ago. I started trading with a small amount of money, made a bit of profit and was foolish enough to let myself be convinced by my "success manager" (Banxso salesman) to gradually invest all my savings in my trading account. I lost everything in the process. Banxso was quick to reply here and asked me to email them to solve the problem. As expected, nothing is solved yet. Hopefully this public warning will help to speed up the process. My advice to all readers is: do good research on the company you trust with your money. I can not recommend Banxso
Hellopeter 27 February 2024 Beware of Banxso. They convinced me in a clever way to @invest@ all my savings with them. I filled out a form (I think it was on Instagram) and Andrew from Banxso contacted me, urging me to invest R 4500 to start trading. Initially a made a bit of money and he urged me to invest more to make more profit. I did so and lost my investment. Banxso's solution was (and still is): invest more to recover the losses. In this way I lost all my savings.. If you want to lose everything, Banxso will gladly assist you with that.
Banxso helped me to loose years of savings in a few months. I made the mistake of investing too much money too soon, before gaining the necessary knowledge and experience. The "success manager" started to phone me after I filled out a form on ( I think) Instagram, to find out how trading with Banxso works. I entered into a series of loosing trades, in the end having my whole account collapse and loosing everything. My advice to new traders is to first invest a small amount and read as much as possible about trading before investing more. I also recommend not not invest all your money with one broker.
Astra Funeral services in Swartruggens / Koster, handled the funeral of Mrs C Wijnbeek (108) in Alberton today. I was most impressed with their professional service. Arranging a funeral over more than 250 kms is no easy task. A great word of thanks to Piet and his team.
Durban's Ricksha bus- tour through various parts of Durban is 'n must-do experience in this city. I took the trip this morning It takes 3 hours in a semi-open double-decker bus. A tour guide highlights interesting places along the route, giving a wealth of information. This service, by Durban Tourism is very reasonably priced. I can strongly recommend it to any visitor to Durban.
I visited Rock 'n Soul restaurant in Alberton on Saturday evening. There I found a friendly atmosphere, delicious food and good value for money. Thank you for a lovely experience. This is worth a visit. P.S. I can recommend their prawn curry
This is my second post about the same problem. On 9 September I received a new Hisense phone from Vodacom as upgrade. Not happy with the phone which allows only one Simcard, I phoned Vodacom on 9 September and asked them to fetch their phone. After many attempts via phone and their Facebook page, I got a few promises and still no action. The smooth-talking person who offered me the contract, is a Mr Jason at Vodacom Direct. It is impossible to contact him via telephone. Vodacom is quick to charge for their services, but hopelessly slow to act. I see that Vodacom uses this tactic to force me into a contract that does not suit my needs. MY ADVICE TO READERS: Avoid using Vodacom- especially :Vodacom Direct", who makes promises without intending to keep it.
Vodacom phoned me and offered an upgrade on my contract. The smooth-talking guy ion the phone assured me that they will collect the phone they are sending if I am not completely happy with it. Two days later, on 9 September, I received a Hisense phone from Vodacom. Realising that this phone does not take two simcards, I phoned Vodacom on 11 September to collect thier phone again. Many calls and facebook-messages later, they still did not collect their phone. This seems to be a deliberate bullying- tactic to force me into a nhew contract with a phone that has very limited use. My advice to readers: Do not accept any deals from Vodacom from someone phoning you. Rather visit your local cellphone shop and deal with honest people.
