Telkom info and merketing SMSes coming to my number

Hello Telkom,

I spent a considerable amount of time on your online chat last week, with several agents. None were able to understand or deal with this issue:

Some person somewhere went and gave my number to Telkom as a contact number and now you are spamming me with SMSes.

Please refrain from this.

Below are the messages, they serve as proof that said messages were sent to my number because I have them and maybe they help you find the correct "account" to remove my number from.

I have dealings with Telkom but never gave you this number.
