Parking Ticket ***** at The Glen Mall South of Joburg

Folks, just a heads-up to anyone in the South of Johannesburg, especially those paying parking tickets with a debit card at The Glen Mall.

Today I was ****med out of R1 000 at The Glen Mall. I swiped my card at the parking ticket vending machine to pay a R10 parking ticket, and a few minutes later I noticed a separate R1 000 transaction that went through to a Software/Games merchant.

You can imagine how frustrating it was calling the parking department, only to be told I must wait until tomorrow to report it to the manager (Casper).

Thankfully my bank, Capitec, stepped in quickly after I reported it via WhatsApp. They assigned an agent, Puseletso, who assisted me promptly.

Please make a habit of checking your SMS notifications after shopping. If I had a lot of messages on my phone, I could easily have missed this *****ulent transaction.
