SANLAM and the chronicles of the telemarketers

Dear SANLAM

In the week of the 11th till the 15th of November 2019 I received between 3 to 5 phone calls from your marketing division.

On the 11th I already said "No", but they kept on phoning, probably hoping for a different response.

I initially reached out to them and the response was that I needed to provide my ID number. There is no way that I am providing the number while I don't even have a product / or service from them.

This makes me as a consumer concerned because our numbers end up on systems without our knowledge and / or permission, and my number was not supposed to be there.

Good day, Jacques

We have been informed that the relevant department has made contact with you. Upon further investigation, we found that it was not Sanlam that called you. It was good that you remained vigilant and it was probably a ****. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and again, we are terribly sorry to hear of your experience. 

Kind regards,
Client Relations

Reviewer Update
Dear Sanlam

In the end of the day it was still one of your products that was marketed to me.

The callers used the following number: "+***"

This was the feedback I received pertaining to reporting that call:

"Hi Jacques. We have received feedback that you should not be receiving any further calls from Sanlam Moneysaver card as you have been removed from the database. They have apologised for harassing you with phone calls. Regards"

So, not sure why you would say it was a ****?

I went and read up about Sanlam Moneysaver and this website link clearly shows your logo on the site as well:
