Deceptive Content Management Services Subsription
I just noted that I have been billed for Content Management Services which has been subscribed to from my Cell C router. I have asked for an investigation - reference no ********** . Apparently something called "Cell C Mirror Network"?? I have not willingly and knowingly subscribed to this. I have no idea what is and what benefit I derive from this subscription. I am told that the only way to check CMS is via a USSD code and to do that I would need to put the router-SIM into a phone. This is unacceptable. Cell C (and all networks for that matter) need to start taking responsibility for deceptively subscribing people to these services. **************** at its finest. Where are the signed debt agreements we enter into agreeing to this? Why do the networks not, at the very least, send an SMS to notify us that we are subscribed to money-making-****s (some are run by the networks themselves!!!!)?? I want all charges on my account reversed relating to this unwanted and unused subscription to who knows whatever it is. I am appealing to Cell C to conduct business in a transparent manner and stop this deception with pop-up ads. I have assisted a few elderly people in the last few months (various networks) to with massive amounts of depleting airtime and data - all of them turned out to have been subscribed to CMS and they had no idea. What happened to ethical business practices and good governance? We are inundated with marketing texts and emails and phone calls...surely they can make a plan to advise us immediately that we are subscribed and provide us with the option to opt out? My account is officially in dispute as of 12:12 today. Number in question: ********** . I will take my business elsewhere if this is not resolved satisfactorily and also lodge a complaint with ICASA. And when I do, it will be in the form of a class-action. Enough is really enough now.
