UNWANTED BILLING!!!

I'm unwantedly billed R2,61 by ********** 7 every single day. If I type *136*5# then content services to see what services I'm subscribed too it shows nothing. The MTN number thats getting billed is my MTN data sim in my USB modem ****le. I've contacted WASPA and this is what they say:

Good day , Thank you for contacting WASPA. Please contact your service provider and ask them for the name of the subscription provider or WASP that you are being billed by. Kind regards Ianda Schoeman WASPA Secretariat www.waspa.org.za

Well I did create a query on My MTN portal but no one ever comes back to me. When I logged in now to search for my query its gone.

In the meantime I'm unwantedly getting billed R2,61 by ********** 7 every single day. This is not the first time I'm getting billed by some content provider. THIS MUST STOP!!!

I'm a MTN subscriber for over 12 years now but that doesn't seem to bother you does it?

My MTN acc nr is: A **********

Hi Alice, I did SMS STOP to ********** 144 but immediately got an SMS back saying "You are not subscribed to MTN Gamer+". And in the meantime they're still deducting R2,61 every day. You say its not a MTN service but YOU are deducting money from ME! I am YOUR client and YOU should look after YOUR clients!!! What next?
