Payfast ********

I just receiver another email from Payfast telling me they are going to charge me R115 every month because of inactivity. *** I don't even know these jokers. I never use Takealot or any other similar service for just such reason. I ignored their Previous email as I thought it was a ****. There no unsubscribe option just shop, request a payout or donating your your available funds. WHAT A ****

How do I get these Cretins off my Back?

Hi Dean, This is just a reminder that your PayFast account is inactive and will be charged an inactivity fee of R115 (inc. VAT) at the end of this month. We previously notified you about this in an earlier email. You can avoid this inactivity fee by shopping, requesting a payout, or donating your available wallet funds. From the PayFast Team

Their email is considered Spam as they have no unsubscribe option and I have no agreement with them. They are breaking the law. If Anyone else wants to send them this. Great

Here’s the relevant portion of the Act which you transgressed with your email

In terms of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act of 2002 (sections included below), 1. Please remove the above e-mail addresses from your system, and 2. Provide the source from which you obtained these e-mails. Please comply within 7 days to prevent being handed over. NOTE that it is an offence not to comply with this request (penalties shown below) and I will take action should you not comply with this requirement in terms of the act. I have been forced to use the protection of the act to remove my details from the hundreds of spam mails sent to me every day.
