Rescue Box
Based on recent customer reviews, Rescue Box is facing significant trust and transparency concerns from South African consumers. A dominant recurring theme is unauthorised debit order mandates appearing on customers' bank accounts, with many reviewers stating they have never heard of the company and questioning how their banking details were obtained. Customers consistently mention frustration with linked Telkom service issues, including contract billing disputes, delayed fibre installations, and difficulty reaching consultants for resolution. Sentiment leans heavily negative, with reviewers expressing feelings of being defrauded and unsafe.

I just received the Mandate from my bank that they will be deducting on 25th of May. I don't know who they are or what they do for that matter. All I know is that they are *****STERS who try to make money *****ulently. I never spoke to anyone from them but to my surprise an sms notifying me about them. They must just cancel that thing I don't want it.

I'm not happy with a consultant Surname Msibi, I app**** for Fibre on the 21 March 2026.up until now I haven't received the router and people that are coming to install the Fibre. The time when he was selling the product to me,he was calling me now and then after I accepted the offer,he is no longer to be found. I send emails he is not replying but before he was replying to me by calling me, sarong he received my emails. He's emails addressed is sibiyat7@telkom.co.za. I'm very disappointed on him.

I just received a debit order mandate from my bank of R115 from Rescue box, I don’t know who they are and how they even got my banking details, we are clearly not safe even from our banking institutions. Luckily I rejected that nonsense.

I wrote a formal request to request intervention regarding Telkom for claiming that I owe R907.96 which I did agree with because on 30 July 2025 at 16:14, I received a call from a Telkom Rewardsco agent at +27 31 825 0802, who informed me that I was eligible for a cellphone upgrade. However, due to stock unavailability, she offered me a new contract consisting of airtime and data for R139.00 per month. During the call, I explicitly asked her multiple times to confirm that this new contract would not overlap with my existing one, as I cannot afford to pay for two contracts simultaneously. She assured me that: - The final payment for my old contract would be 31 July 2025. - The new contract would begin debiting my account on 30 August 2025. However, I did not receive even acknowledgement from Additionally, I have received multiple SMS messages from NuDebt stating that I am in contravention of the Electronics Communications Act 36 of 2005 due to a R558.00 default linked to Telkom account 502271241, which later became R907.96. The messages demanded payment within 24 hours to Telkom via ABSA into NuDebt account 4074002397, with reference 502271241 Tel 0104923448. Both Telkom, Telkom Rewardsco & NuDebt don't respond to Hellopeter reviews. I respectfully request that an investigation be conducted and call recording be listened to resolve this matter urgently and the R907.96 be refunded to my bank account please.

Had my Cell Phone removed from my person without my permission. (politically correct written) The AI system at Telkom for service is useless and a waste of time. Couldn't get the phone blocked no e-mail address or phone number to speak to someone other than Computer generated answers from AI. That won't help as they don't consider theft as a priority help.
