**********

Beware of the Mondo call centre ****.

An agent who called herself Fatima, sold an MTN LTE package to me, based on false benefits.

She was not just misleading, she outright **** about the deal from the beginning and proceeded to process an order on my behalf, tying me into a 3 year ********** contract.

She quoted me on a package that was uncapped, unthrottled, 100mbs upload and download speed at R399 on a 24 month contract, with 5 hour battery backup during loadshedding.

In reality, the package that I received was 10mbs for 200g and 200g night-time, throttled after that (FUP), 36 month contract and the device has no battery backup.

This was intentional ***** in order to make a sale.

I have returned the device to MTN and requested a cancellation through the Mondo customer support centre.

If someone phones you from Mondo offering you any deal, don't trust it. Rather go directly to the service provider and enquire there.

Mondo, don't bother replying here. My next step is to report your company to ICASA.

You ******** didn't cancel it did you? Even after I phoned to cancel, and your people phoned me to confirm it's cancelled. Today I got a bill from MTN. They will charge my account via debit order for two months of nothing.

You may contact the MTN Accounts Dept. on *** for assistance regarding your credit/account.

Due to the above, your query will now be closed.

We do apologize for the delay and inconvenience caused, however, thank you for allowing us to look into your query.

Due to the above, my query has been closed?

You still did not cancel the debit order. A debit order went off my account 2 days ago.

I just got off the line with MTN, who put
me through to your customer service. MTN claims that it is you who failed to
cancel the pending debit order. Your customer service representative says that
I have to send you proof of the debit order. This is insane. I fell in to a **** thanks
to a call by your people and now I'm stuck in this nonsense, where I must provide
proof???

And you say my query has been closed. Must I open a new complaint here? I can
keep doing that you know. People should know what ********** Mondo are.

Thank you for the above response.

Please note that MTN did confirm that the contract was deactivated and that your account was credited.

A new credit request has been sent to MTN with regard to the debit that you received a few days ago.

We do apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Hello Mondo ****mers

I STILL have not received a refund for the amount taken out of my account.

Lets not forget that it is because of your ****ming salesperson that any
money was taken at all. The blame here lies with YOU first.

And yes, I have been in contact with MTN several times.

 Hi Clare,

Trust you are well.

Please note that MTN did confirm that all credit that was due to you has been passed.

Unfortunately, there was usage on the sim for your first bill, therefore, MTN will not credit.

You may dispute this further with MTN.

The Mondo Team
