Total ****. Do not pay them a cent
Total ****. Ordered a Zone Shifter. Was sent tracking information for a parcel coming from China. Once the parcel apparently landed in South Africa, tracking info stopped. They then started to ignore phone calls and whatsapp messages. Contacted my bank and they said that their account was flagged with the Risk Department

Pity we cannot rate with ZERO stars as you deserve ZERO
If there is a company in the country that can be rated for bad service I am sure it must be Payfast. You are NEVER available, you NEVER respond to emails, you NEVER do what you promise to do. We took over a company with a lined Payfast account. We delinked their account in Shopify and linked ours and for some reason YOUR APP did not link correctly so almost R20 000 was then paid into the selling company's account who closed their bank account. We have been trying for a MONTH to get that money paid out to us. We spoke to numerous people and were told by your compliance team to drive to the police station and do an affidavit explaining what happened and send that to you - WHICH WE DID THE SAME MORNING - but you have absolutely no respect for people because after you told us what to do, it has now been another 2 WEEKS and you just ignore us. How pathetic do you want to treat people ??????? How much disrespect does your company want to show people ?????? This is the worst service I have ever experienced from any company handling probably billions of Rands of South African people and when you need them - they just ignore you

RAIN - SUPER FAST TO SELL *******, SUPER SLOW TO REACT TO SUPPORT
I have been trying for a week to get ANYONE from Rain to contact me. You sold me a Rain 101 unit claiming that there is 5G where I live, your router does not even logon to 4G where I live, nevermind 5G Process cancellation for this unit – your sales person **** to me when she said that Rain 5 G was available at my location in the Leeuwgedacht conservancy I received the unit today and it does NOT detect any 5 G signal It also does not fall back onto any 4 G network so this piece of junk will not work for me after she **** to me I will have this unit available at the same address you delivered it to today. I have not opened or used any of the 2 simcards I also demand a full refund as your sales person did not check properly whether there is signal at my location so she made me accept this unit under false information Also SUPER PATHETIC that you delete my complaints on Facebook without responding, seems that its easier to delete complaints than to actually do something about it

Stay Away from WeBuyCars if you dont want to be taken advantage of or get killed in unroadworthy vehicles
I want to thank WebuyCars for being the most dishonest, ************* and ***** car sales company in South Africa where we purchased our Silver Subaru Forester Not only does it seem that they employ complete ******** sales people – by name Philip de Koker – from the Midstream branch, who effectively persuaded us to buy a car for R130 000 when we were looking to only spend around R70 000, but also managed to con us into buying a vehicle that was not roadworthy, was a danger to be on the road, was sold to us as a “TURBO” vehicle – being without a turbo and falsely claiming that the repairs on the vehicle was only a SHOCK ABSORBER BOOT which was supposed to cost us R300 to replace With the lies and stories Mr. De Koker told us, we specifically asked him about the mentioning on the DEKRA report stating that the vehicle was inspected and classified as having dangerous flaws in terms of the steering and stability of the vehicle When we queried this, he said that we did not have to worry about a thing, it was a small minor oil leak on the left front shock absorber which would have been in the region of R300 to replace We specifically questioned this numerous times and he confirmed that he has to sell 35 cars a month to be allowed to work at WeBuyCars and he knew his technical information like the back of his hand He also confirmed that if we took the vehicle, and it was inspected and found that there was other issues, that they (WeBuyCars) would reimburse us for the damages and would also assist in the repairs of the vehicle – or BUY THE VEHICLE BACK Needless to say, drama started when we drove off the premises from Midstream WeBuyCars. The oil level and temperature warning system came on and warned of immediate attention required. I sent a photo with this warning to Mr. Philip de Koker who responded with “Oops, that must have happened just now, drive safe and have it looked at” Creeping to the next available gas station, the petrol attendant had to use 2 bottles of oil to get the oil level to an acceptable level. Mr. de Koker’s attitude – oh well, OOPS We then took the vehicle for its next due service, one day after buying from WeBuyCars, and the statement from the workshop manager at the Centurion Subaru dealership just shook his head when we told him that the rubber on the shock was to be replaced. They did a full inspection and not only was the left front shock damaged beyond repair, the right front shock was also dangerously worn out. Total cost for this little exercise – R15 000 with the service I sent this thru to Mr. Philip de Koker and he chose to ignore my whatsapp messages and photos of the invoice and the damaged shocks. We then proceeded to get the roadworthy done – because when you buy a car from WeBuyCars, you must take the car for roadworthy yourself and get stuck with that bill and repairs if needed. DEKRA did the roadworthy inspection and failed the vehicle with a reason “VEHICLE UNSAFE TO TRAVEL ON ANY ROAD – LOWER SUSPENSION RUBBERS COMPLETELY TORN IN PIECES”. Needless to say, contacting Mr Philip de Koker proved just as pointless as the service and assistance from WeBuyCars. This exercise cost us an additional R5000 to just get the vehicle to pass its roadworthy and be able to get it registered on our name We then proceeded to try and get someone to assist from WeBuyCars and for THREE MONTHS got the most unprofessional service from CHERIZE DU TOIT and VINCONIQUE WILLIAMS, both claiming for 3 months long that this was escalated to senior management. When we eventually called their service desk and provided our reference number 45142, we were told that this case was closed weeks ago and when we called again the lady said that the reference does not exist and when we called again we were told that we had to log a call and we would be assisted Long story short – after buying a vehicle from WeBuyCars MIDSTREAM from a dishonest and clearly clueless Philip de Koker, we had to spend over R20 000 to get the vehicle to be roadworthy, meaning we spent R150 000 CASH on something we wanted to spend R70 000 on and all that WeBuyCars now say is basically “Go ***** yourself” – they have offered ZERO assistance, ZERO apology, ZERO solution and have twisted the truth to such a lie that it seems to fit in with the way they do business They said that we did the repairs on our own information and decisions not based on facts and not approaching WeBuyCars. This is total and utter lies from WeBuyCars since we have a papertrail and whatsapp trail with attempts to get WeBuyCars involved from the second we drove off their property with the vehicle but it seems to be easier to tell clients to get lost that to take ownership of dishonest people working there and for selling you ******* that is not even roadworthy and put your life at risk Shame on WeBuyCars and let this be a warning to every person EVER wanting to buy a car from them to stay away from them, you have a better chance of going into labor and giving birth to golden eggs than to get honest and sincere and professional assistance from a company that clearly believes that they are untouchable and can ***** over honest people in South Africa

Dead lady phone number haunting me
I changed my cellphone number a month ago as I was being harassed by a crazy stalker. I paid for the number change as it is on contract. Vodacom supplied me with a recycled number that belonged to a lady who passed away. It was her birthday yesterday since I received 20 sms messages congratulating her and some condolence messages to the husband and Miway that wants to sell her insurance. I called in and was told I can only change the number again in 3 months. This is a moral dilemma since I refuse to use a dead woman's number for various reasons Why if I pay for a new number do I get a recycled number ? I want a new unrecycled number please, Dont tell me the system does not allow it, I want someone that manages the system to sort this out and not someone being managed by the system

Absa , there for you to steal your money and ignore you
Absa has once again proven to be rubbish. Only after a complaint on HelloPeter did someone respond about my stolen money. Not only did she send me 1 email to explain Absa's story as she saw it, but she ignored any subsequent emails from me. I would rather suggest staying away from Absa since they stole R15000 from the R30 000 that I questioned and then ignores emails.

ABSA STEALS YOUR MONEY (30k) THEN IGNORES YOU
Absa fraud department has been made aware of fraud on my account almost 2 months ago. I was proactive and contacted Capitec to have the account frozen where I paid the money to. Capitec confirmed the money was safe ( R 30 000) but ABSA does not even answer my emails when I ask for feedback. This Covid lockdowns have made everyone pathetic and useless. At this stage it feels that ABSA has stolen my money and avoiding me. Rubbish bank in my opinion

Stay away as far as possible !
14 October, 2020 Complaints Issue : EVERYTHING from the word go ! First communication with them, 15 September 2020. Quote received and I sent a mail to request more information in terms of the design. Further communication : 29 September, 5 October, 7 October, 10 October, 12 October, 13 October. I designed the artwork we required and exported to PDF as they requested which means that we dont pay a design fee. After that I requested to increase the number of units from 500 to 1000. I asked Thabang that they must please speed this up as the products that I needed these labels for had to be delivered to our client urgently which is why I chose them as they advertised their speedy service. I have subsequently seen a few complaints on the internet of bad service, false promises, missing printwork etc so it seems that it is they way they operate. The last email I received from them was simply "Can you send specs for this one". I attached the image to this complaint. I cannot understand what their graphic designed means by "What are the specs" if I clearly have chosen the size of the printwork and the quantity and finishing and everything and it is noted very clearly in my invoice I think they employ junior people who has no clue about what they are supposed to do who then learn and experiment on customer orders. I would not recommend using this company at all !! AND after weeks and weeks, I still have no product after they have been paid in full
