Consumer Alert: Deceptive Advertising **** Involving "Telecom 1023" Please be cautious of calls or emails from parties claiming to represent Telecom 1023

<div>Consumer Alert: Deceptive Advertising **** Involving "Telecom 1023" Please be cautious of calls or emails from parties claiming to represent Telecom 1023. They offer what appears to be free advertising on Google, but this is a misleading tactic. The contract they send closely resembles official Telkom documentation, which can easily cause confusion. Hidden in extremely fine print, the agreement includes a charge of R14,440 (which is written in words, not numbers, so it is even easier to miss). Once signed, you may receive persistent and aggressive calls from their "accounts department", a lady called Tarryn, demanding immediate payment. Attempts to follow up often result in confusion, with representatives claiming no knowledge of the issue. Be vigilant. Always read the fine print and verify directly with Telkom before signing anything.</div>
