Active since Jul 2014
I sent out a review yesterday (12-12-2018) requesting Vodacom to contact me regarding an alert made for suspicious activity happening on my account. I have still not received any assistance. The official business response can through yesterday. I am still waiting for someone to call/assist, can this be treated as an urgent matter please.
On Sunday 09/12/18 I received a suspicious message that read: "Dear *name*, quote *** has been generated on your profile and vetting has been Approved. If you did not initiate this request, please urgently contact Vodacom Customer Care on 082 111." I was surprised when I got this because I did not initiate this. I made the first call to Vodacom on 9/12/2018 at 12:27pm and was then transferred to the contracts department and spoke to Ntanganedzeni Nitshidzivhe (the call was from 12:29pm till 12:37pm) and told her about the suspicious message and asked her to check what was happening, she took my details and said nothing was done in my name. I asked several times and she assured me all was well. She than mentioned that my modem contract was due for upgrade, I told her over and over that I do not want any upgrade and everything on my account should be left as is. To my surprise yesterday 11/12/2018 I received another message from Vodacom that read; "Dear *name* your quotation has been processed ***x. Use the order number ***x when contacting Vodacom" When I called Vodacom I spoke to Dakalo at 4:47pm who than transferred me to another agent (I did not get his name) who gave details that the contract was taken out on the 9/12/2018 (the same day I got the suspicious message and called Vodacom to inform them and I was told nothing was on my account) at the Fourways branch, he than transferred me to another department that was supposed to cancel this transaction. I went through to Tshepiso, what a nightmare it was, it is so sad that Vodacom is the one that messed up yet I need to be the one doing all the running around. Tshepiso just told me there was nothing she could do and that I need to call Fourways. Again its so sad that after I made the alert to Vodacom and nothing was done, she didn't even try and understand my frustration or even make an effort to assist me. I was frustrated and irate and requested to speak to a manager as I needed someone to sort out this mess that Vodacom made, what a rude lady (it's a pity I did not get her name) when I told her that I couldn't not hear her clearly she just told me that she will assist me as I was shouting ( I don't know if she expected me to be jolly in such a situation.) instead of calming the situation down, she just hung up and didn't even bother to call again (totally unacceptable, need I remind Vodacom that they are not doing me a favor, its they mess they need to fix it.) I than calmed down and called Fourways branch to inform them and get them to assist me. I spoke to Hilton who told me that the fraudster came into their branch with "my ID" (I explained that I have my ID in my possession and have never lost it before) and was issued with a new cellphone contract. When asked about what security control measures Vodacom has to protect customers, I was informed of the OTP, which I did receive and made an alert but I was let down because nothing was done about it. Clearly such control measures are ineffective and need to be reviewed. This was a fraudulent act on my name, I did not visit the Fourways branch. I did not initiate any request for a contract. I did my part and made an alert nothing was done about it, Vodacom needs to conduct a thorough investigation, listen to calls, view camera footage, ensure that no money for this contract is debited from my account. I need this to be cancelled with immediate effect. Can someone have the courtesy to call me and have this issue resolved ASAP.
The service I have experienced from the Makro Online has been so unpleasant, frustrating and I have been inconvenienced. Thanks toy the helloppeter.com platform because it seems like that's the only way for our complaints to be heard. Following the review I posted on the 09 October 2018,on the same day I received a call from Pumla who informed that the fridge I bought (Order # MAK971347, which had a damaged dispenser.) would be replaced with a new fridge. She said she would call me to make the necessary arrangements for delivery/pick-up on Friday 12 October 2018,she did not call. To my surprise I received a message from my aunt to inform that the fridge was delivered yesterday 11 October 2018. This left me so frustrated because once again I was inconvenienced with having to house 2 fridges , you don't just pitch without confirming necessary arrangements especially once that promised call has been made, it's not professional. To make matters worst when I called the online support team to bring this matter to their attention, I dealt with two consultants who were very rude: I spoke to Nokuthula twice asking to speak to a manager, she just dropped the call. Thobile was very unprofessional putting my call on hold without informing me, I made her aware of that and without any courtesy whatsoever she just did it again, such a distasteful conversation it was. I eventually spoke to a manager Nthabiseng who took her time to understand how frustrated I was, she was helpful and called the store manger where the fridge was delivered from (Strubens Valley) -Nthabiseng even called to follow up whether I did receive a call, thanks Nthabiseng. They eventually called I spoke to a lady (forgot her name) who didn't even apologize for the inconvenience let alone try and come up with a solution, she just said a manger will call today. This entire experience left me super frustrated to the point that I wanted Makro to take both fridges and reverse the transaction, but than I realised that Makro would once again win whilst I am inconvenienced again. I wish no customer will have to go such.
I purchased the Samsung Combi Fridge/Freezer with Water Dispenser Metallic graphite (Order # MAK971347) on the 25th September 2018, online. The delivery was made on the 1st October 2018. As I was installing/setting up the fridge I noticed that the water dispenser was damaged, it is cracked and has a hole. On 3rd October 2018 I sent an email to report this matter (@ 08:05am), no response was received so I called and spoke to Anthony Vermeulen who requested that I email pictures of the damaged dispenser, I did just that @11:40 am, (he did not acknowledge whether pics were received, nor provide any feedback.) I sent a follow up email to Anthony on 5th October 2018, still no response. I called @ 14:26pm to follow up, the first lady I spoke didn’t even try to assist when I explained the situation to her, instead my call was transferred back to the line. After holding for another 10 minutes I spoke to Thabiso who said he would follow up and get back to me. On Saturday I was contacted by Nonhlanhla from Samsung who informed me that the entire fridge would be replaced because of the 7-day- warranty. She mentioned that a Makro Store would call to arrange pick up, I still have not received any call. I really was not expecting such service, and must mention that I am disappointed. I need this matter to be urgently resolved please. After sending yet another email yesterday (08 October 2018), I received an email that the matter has been escalated to the online support team and that they would contact me soon. I have not received any call from a Makro representative.
<p>On Sunday at about 1pm we went to the McDonald's at Westgate Mall. My family and I ordered the Beef Share Box meal (this should include 2 X BigMac burgers, 2 X cheese burgers, 2 X Medium drinks, 2 X small drinks, 10pc nuggets and sauces) + Spicy Mc Feast meal as a takeaway. We also bought 5 soft twirls.</p> <p>We had asked for 1 medium fanta orange, 1 medium Sprite & 2 small Sprites. To our surprise when we got home there was only 1 cheese burger, the Sprite drinks were sparkling water instead. </p> <p>Unfortunately were not able to drive back and sort this out. </p> <p> </p> <p>This was an unpleasant and disappointing service indeed. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
<p>I called in and spoke to a lady by the name Patricia to make an enquiry. Her line was very soft and politely I asked her to speak louder as I was struggling to hear her. She than rudely responded saying that that's how she speaks and there's nothing she can do about it and that I should adjust my volume if I can't hear her. The tone of her voice and attitude suggested that she was unwilling to assist me</p> <p>I felt that as the "voice of the company" she could have better handled the situation instead of the appalling, disrespectful and disappointing manner. </p>
