DECEPTIVE CALL CENTER AGENTS

COMPLAINT ***

I really do not understand how Clientele trains their call center sales staff.

This is the second time that I am being deceived by their agents.

So on 14 December 2022 Brian Ngwenya calls me and tells me about their voucher programme, he goes on and tells me they will give me free vouchers to try out and if I am happy with the vouchers I can give them a call and then they will activate my debit order.

He proceeds and sends me a DebiCheck instruction and I remember telling him that I will not approve a DebiCheck, he reassures me and says that they will not deduct, I will need to call in to activate the DebiCheck at the end of December 2022 if I am happy with the vouchers

To my surprise I receive an SMS on 20 December 2022 from Clientele informing me my debit order will go off earlier this month.

I call in and it is confirmed I have a debit order instruction loaded.

Why must these agents deceive us like this for sales?

I DESPISE THE CLIENTELE AGENTS METHODS. THEY ARE IN THE HABIT OF DECEIVING PEOPLE FOR SALES.
