POPIA Act violation and Unauthorized Debit Order

I received an SMS stating my account will be debited at the end of this month. I do not and have not signed any contracts with Netstar nor have I used any of your services. What's more worrying is I have not shared any of my personal details with you, this includes my cell phone number and account details so I do not know how you have this information, you are in violation of the POPIA Act. You cannot debit me because I do not have any services with you and I do not give you permission to use my personal information, you need to delete it immediately.

Reviewer Update
It is quite concerning that I have never shared any of my personal information with your company including my contact number and account details, yet somehow you were going to debit my account. This is a clear violation of the POPI Act which explicitly protects consumers against this kind of abuse and I will be reporting it to the relevant authorities. I demand that you delete all my personal information including my account details and cease all use of my information for nefarious reasons.
