Systematic spreading of Evil and Lies by Mondo Mobile

I am reconstructing this from memory as best I can. Minor details should be confirmed with sales companies – which I cannot do since I’m not going to obtain a subpoena.

I have been contacted last year by Mondo Mobile on behalf of Vodacom (I had extreme difficulty figuring this out since no-one was forthcoming with this information).

I was contacted and offered a deal that was simply too good to be true – my bill would reduce to R 300 from a R 800+ that I’m currently paying (according to the sales agent). I confirmed this multiple times telephonically, asking whether this call is recorded and whether I’ll be able to verify this at a later stage if my bill has indeed not decreased to the indicated amount.

Currently my bill has not dropped by the stated amount and I’ve been trying to get a hold of the sales call to confirm what has been promised to me. Vodacom / Mondo has indicated that this will only be released when a subpoena is obtained – which is ridiculous. I demand the full call (that spans over multiple days) to confirm the full deal that was promised to me – not merely the closing of the call in which some nonsense wording was read to me. The call constitutes the ENTIRETY of the contract.

I’ve read numerous complaints about Mondo on the web and it seems as if they are systematically de*****ing / infuriating / frustrating a large portion of the population from the Durban based call centre. They are indeed giving telesales an extremely bad name. They are placing unsupervised, delinquents on the phone and equipping them with a ******’s artillery of promise the moon and the stars objection handling without any concern or interest in the customers that they are supposed to serve on behalf of VODACOM! But I guess while the gravy train is rolling and expenses both parties will turn a blind eye towards this sort of systematic evil.

I’ve logged this query multiple times with Mondo as well as Vodacom and all that I’ve managed to get is excuses and the phone being put down in my ear – that is when they actually do pick up the phone.

I’ve tried cancelling this thing multiple times (well within my cool-off period rights under the CPA), but these have been ignored and all that I receive is a quotation (that NOBODY at Vodacom can even explain to me how its calculated and what is being taken into account; the stupid person generating the quote can’t even open the file on their machine from which they generated it).

My demands are simple, unambiguous and actionable: • I demand to be released from this ******* upgrade at NO cost to me • I demand that the CEO of Mondo Mobile be jailed along with the agent selling me lies • I demand that Mondo Mobile be closed down and proceeds from liquidation be put in trust to fight systematic spreading and selling of lies

Good day Kimona, Thank your for your email and again asking me what I would like to be done. I reiterate my last paragraph of the mail sent : " My demands are simple, unambiguous and actionable: • I demand to be released from this ******* upgrade at NO cost to me • I demand that the CEO of Mondo Mobile be jailed along with the agent selling me lies • I demand that Mondo Mobile be closed down and proceeds from liquidation be put in trust to fight systematic spreading and selling of lies " Now I understand your powers and influence are finite, but lets start at the top of the list and see how far we can achieve success. Best Regards, Corné de Witt [This email is also sent to Kimona @RewardsCo - the proliferation of lies and deceit extends to yet ANOTHER entity] - I honestly have NO idea what company I'm actually dealing with now anymore and WHO is ACTUALLY holding my contract.

Please be advised that I'm not going to waste my time first going to a store to hear if this has been resolved, because nobody at any store is in any since capable of assisting me at that point in time. This issue has to be resolved providing me with the necessary surety (before entering a vodacom store) that it has been resolved. The screenshots provided in the past are of your system and I have no way of knowing what the process actually entails - all I can see is when I log into the website / vodacom ussd site and neither of these give me indication that the upgrade has been reversed
