Suspected spam demands for payment of TV licence by SMS

<p>I have received three SMS’s for my TV Licence that is due on 31/03/2017 which appears to be distinctly suspicious as not only is it not accompanied by their normal statement of account, but the amount claimed is incorrectly stated as R74.00 when their statement sent to me by email last year was for an amount of R250.00 which I duly paid?</p> <p>Despite my three emails sent to them questioning the legality of their SMS demands for payment of R74.00, they have not bothered to reply albeit that I received their automated acknowledgement.</p> <p>In these days of SPAM, **** NEWS and all sorts of *******s they certainly will not be very successful in their endevours to collect licence fees and I for one will not pay against spurious SMS messages. </p> <p>I have received three SMS’s for my TV Licence that is due on 31/03/2017 which appears to be distinctly suspicious as not only is it not accompanied by their normal statement of account, but the amount claimed is incorrectly stated as R74.00 when their statement sent to me by email last year was for an amount of R250.00 which I duly paid?</p> <p>Despite my three emails sent to them questioning the legality of their SMS demands for payment of R74.00, they have not bothered to reply albeit that I received their automated acknowledgement.</p> <p>In these days of SPAM, **** NEWS and all sorts of *******s they certainly will not be very successful in their endevours to collect licence fees and I for one will not pay against spurious SMS messages. </p> <p> </p>
