MTN Rewardsco Mondo conspiracy to de***** customers with unwanted contracts

There was an MTN cellphone contract opened without my consent by Rewarsco Mondo.

I renewed my contract contract to keep my old phone and the next day someone called to ask if I still wanted to go with that or do I want a Samsung flip phone. I said that I agreed to the R129 p/m contract already and that is now a legally binding contract so why are they calling me to talk about a Samsung flip phone which I never discussed. The 'lady' then said that the call had been opened so she had to go through with it. I said I was in a meeting and had agreed to a contract already and hung up. I then got a call from a courier to deliver a parcel which I declined but they phoned me twice a day every day until I went to MTN store and asked what it could be a to confirm if my new contract had started without a phone. They said there was just the new contract on my old nr and it was probably a present from MTN. I then confirmed the courier they can bring the parcel, which turned out to be a Huawei Nova 9 and some expensive headphones, both of which I would never have bought and did not discuss at all. So the agent at mondo had added a R581 p/m contract over three years without my consent to a new SIM and then closed off the call without my consent at all, disgusting. Her name is Rebecca Leigh Van Schalkwyk as communicated to me by MTN.

I have returned the phone, headphones and sim unopened on the 23rd of Jan to the Canal Walk MTN main store. They said they would send a cancellation through but I was still billed at the start of March.

MTN throws their hands up and says there is nothing they can do but they have the Nova 9 phone and the headphones returned on 23 Jan and are the ones billing me over R800 p/m instead of the R129 I agreed to. They say I must contact Rewardsco Mondo who I would never approach for a contract because they have no track record for me. I try calling and get put on hold and have now run out of airtime trying to get hold of them. They have also not answered my mails so at this stage I do not know how to get out of this contract which I never agreed, don't even have the R10500 phone, R1900 headphones or SIM or the airtime and data that comes with it and I don't have enough airtime now on my contract to try sit on the call to speak to their agents.

Both MTN stores say this is a huge problem but MTN management is not doing anything about it, where things get added to contracts without consent or additional contracts opened without consent. There is no way forward now so I see this as a conspiracy to de***** MTN customer where these agents get the commission on activation which is when you receive the parcel and there is no way I can find to get this reversed.

I explained that the phone and headphones were returned unopened to MTN within a week of receiving and instead of refunding me the two payments made they cancelled the contract and billed me R12281. Now I have no Huawei Nova 9 or bluetooth headphones, no contract or data but have now been billed over R14000. Well done Mondo, customer services and ***** sales team of the year. As MTN will not help me I imagine my only recourse at the point to to take the proof to the police station and open a ***** case as well as get legal wise involved

I cancelled the debit for the R12281 with FNB for the *******ly opened contract but now MTN has suspended service on my actual nr. After another 40 mins on a call I managed to get Albertus on reference nr 1DGE54Q at Mondo to agree that the refund would be done by 22 April so that my MTN service starts working again. This has not happened, there has been no communication. How can MTN allow these ****** to start ******* contracts with no consent and the nwash their hands of sorting it out, MTN you are a disgusting institution and I will NEVER F#$ing EVER deal with you s%^& heads again
