I'm actually disgusted that companies like Smartcalltech are allowed to even apply for a business license, this is a company that I and many other feels has no integrity, this evident from the amount of complaints and judgments against there name, I wanted to take a subscription out with Keep2Share, as I was about to load my details a notification popped up that informed me if I do a survey I would get a 30-day free trial, keep2share is a reputable download/streaming site that people I know belong to, so with this in mind I thought, "what have I got to lose" , I was under the impression this promotion was being run in conjunction with keep2share, I filled in the survey and realized I had been mislead, instead of getting a 30-day free subscription I was slapped with the scam of winning an iPhone or a Samsung smartphone, to add insult to injury I was automatically subscribed to Quiz2win @ fee of R7 per day, after a minute a or two another pop up appeared which informed me I that my Keep2Share free subscription was waiting on the condition that I complete another survey with more options, (eg Bible quotes, health, newsfeed, etc), I soon realised this was the same scam again, if I had continued to claim the Keep2Share subscription I would be paying R7 a day for another service, it most probably would have gone on and on, in otherwords this company would have scammed me over and over again, and I would have received nothing, they have sent me about 100 text messages informing me I have been subsribed to quiz2show, they did however leave an email address along with a telephone no and an opt out no, if I wanted to opt out I have to SMS STOP to 42364, however this no does not work, what would you expect from a company like this, I have SMS'd them five times, and each time, instead of getting a notification that I have opted out, I receive a notification that I am still subsribed, I work in information security and I should have known better, I'm partly to blame for not paying attention, however this does not excuse the conduct of STS, this company uses a tactic known as "AMBUSH MARKETING", which does not constitute honest and fair business practice, this practice is illegal in most countries around the world , STS has so many complaints and so many Judgments against it, that my question is, "why are they still allowed to trade", they are scammers in the guise of a promotions company tha's using loopholes in law to jump through, I have written a complaint which is to graphic to publish, companies like STS need to be banned by there internet service providers, it clearly states in almost every internet service providers terms and conditions that an internet service provider can terminate the service if a company is conducting itself dishonestly or using ambush marketing, scammimg or phishing, and will be blacklisted , STS and companies like it are a menace to tthe internet , they have ruined the internet, this is why we have adblockers and pop-up blockers, before companies like this came along we never needed them
