Cell C don't care about your Privacy!

My Cell C prepaid, registered cell phone was ******. Now Cell C won't block the Sim or do a Sim swap while the thieve is busy using my phone and chatting to people in my contacts asking them to wire him cash. Cell C says I haven't answered the 7 security questions correctly. This account is about 16 years old. I have since had 4 or 5 residential addresses. And I cannot remember my last 5 dialled numbers. I took proof of address and my ID down to Pinetown Cell C and the representatives plain down made the whole thing a joke as I couldn't answer all their questions correctly. Long story short, I have this person using my phone with full access to my Capitec banking app, watsapp and a online app from which I earn a living and Cell C call center and store tells me I should try to block or Sim swop in 30 days again.

Good day Shain

Thank you for getting in touch. 

We do understand your frustration. However, there is a lot of ***** when it comes to a Sim Swaps and that is why we take the necessary steps to protect you as the customer as well as Cell C. Please gather the correct information, and send us a new Rica serial number, Cell C and an alternative contact number to ***. Send us the number in question via private message, so that we can block the line, in the interim.

Hi. Understandably but if ever other establishment is quite satisfied with one's ID document and proof of address. I think Cell C should come up with a quicker way of blocking a lost Sim. Another cell network did a free Sim swap with just my ID whithin 4 minutes. Anyway I appreciate your help. Please resend me the number that I should send my information too. Regards
