Unauthorised Credit Checks being performed upon 'Call Back' enquiry

<p>I requested a call back twice on the Telkom site, for the purpose of asking for product information, and both times I got an sms saying that my pre-screening shows I do not qualify for a product. I never consented to a check being done on me, ( nor find the need for it to be done when I have not indicated an interest in a particular product ) and still no one has phoned me to ask what my enquiry is. Clearly you do not need a new customer and screen people without having any idea of affordability:</p> <p>Email that I received.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>This email serves to confirm that your online order has been placed - a credit vetting process will now commence and a Telkom agent will be in contact within 48 hours to finalise your order.</p> <p> </p> <p>SMS received:</p> <p>Dear customer, thank you for your online application. Unfortunately your application has been declined during our initial pre-vetting stage. Regards Telkom Online Sales.</p>
