HOODWINKED

<p>I recently received a call from Mr Price to say that because I was a loyal customer they would be giving me a free sim card and recharge each month with R250. Anyway I accepted this "free" gift and it was delivered to me. I did not activate the sim card as I was scared of being charged. Only last week I checked my Miladys account (which Miladys is now part of the Mr Price group) and I see that on the 8th of March and the 8th of April I was charged R250 (in total R500 charged on my account). I immediately complained to Miladys customer care and received an e-mail to advise that my complaint would be dealt with within 24 hours. I have never even taken the sim card out of it's pocket so its not been activated either and I do see on the waybill that this will be for 12 months. I feel that I was hoodwinked into receiving this and am now being charged. I received a reference no. (# ********** ) from the Mr Price help desk but am still awaiting their assistance.</p>
