One star per consumer portal makes 5 stars eventually - Keep practising!
A week or so ago I wanted to buy a newer laptop since mine operates on Win 8.1. I went to the pawnshop in Oakdale, and asked the owner if there's any exchange possible if the laptop does not work with MS Teams. He told me to do my research on the specs since all their laptops are tested and it works. A week later I bought one after asking a friend to pay for it on his credit card. The price was R5000 and I looked at the specs in the store. It looked like it could do the job. And it did during the testing and personalisation. But, three days later, 14 hours before I need to use it for business, the screen went black. I went back to store, in the hope they will help me out with a loan unit or a replacement since there wasn't enough time to have it fixed. I was told it is not going to happen. I then asked for a refund. The owner was consulted and I was told I can sell it back to them (And get 50% back) and buy a different one. With that, I decided to give them a star on Google for their excellent service. All of a sudden I was asked to provide details of my complaint so the matter can be escalated to the so called "Management team" of one (the owner). All they wanted was to take the complaint out of public view. But that's not how things gets done anymore. I only need to ask for help once. Not twice. Whatever you do, do NOT buy used electronics like laptops from Cash Converters (Or as I now call them; Trash Converters) How many times do the same laptop gets "sold" before this stops?

Best **** Site Ever!
I received a call about an FNB business account. I made an arrangement with the caller to decide how they want to handle this. We agreed that they will either issue summons, or stop harassing me. After the call I went to Google to see who they are. And I am so happy to be an EX FNB client. The Website on Google redirects to a **** site. Just like FNB, this really works in my favor.

****ming portal
It seems there is a lot of ****s out there. I wanted to register as employer on this site, but it redirected me to www.talent.com It appears the bestjobs website is a reseller or affiliate website of talent.com, but I don't want to waste my time to do the research. Read the comments on this and take the advice of the people. DON'T GET ****MED.

Same snake; different skin
This is the same snake with a different skin and should be beheaded. They are down there with the likes of MBD and other out-houses who collect debt that does not exist. Thankfully, they have put me off doing business with FNB for the next 500 centuries.

Time for the Law Society to Take Action
MBD aka Munnik Basson Dagama aka MBD Legal Collections (Pty)Ltd aka MBD Credit Solutions (Pty)Ltd aka MBD Digital Collections aka Transaction Capital Recoveries aka MBD Securitisation aka Nutun Business Solutions has the perfect business model. They are registered attorneys in KZN, A Debt Collector, A credit provider and who knows what else. All operating from the 3rd and 4th Floor of 115 West Street Sandown. Using the same telephone number and the same PO Box. They claim to have a POPIA policy, but they "share" your information and use it to offer their services to you, to collect your debt if you cannot pay it and to sue you in court. All from the same office. It is time this company and others like it, if any, gets exposed, reported and wound-up, like they like to do with small businesses. Their contraventions of the NCR, and Section 35 of the Bill of Rights needs to be investigated by the Regulators and the Legal Practice Council. And they must be exposed on social media for selling your personal information. As each of these businesses are separate legal entities, they have absolutely NO RIGHT to sell your information among these companies. Each can be reported for selling and buying your account info without your consent. Wake up SA. They are supported by the Banks like Standard Bank who sells their prescribed debt to them. They harrass you three to five times a day until you admit you owe them money. DON"T DO IT. The onus is on THEM to prove the debt is outstanding. NO NOT ADMIT TO IT, not even over the phone or sms or a whatsapp. THey will use it against you. They don't care. They have Book Debts as assets in excess of R200 million. They are in the business of buying risky debt. And we all know that if you volunteer to jump off a bridge, any injury is your own doing.
