Unsolicited Marketing Calls revisited

On 03 May 2023 at 11:33 I posted here about the unsolicited marketing calls I received from this company. The calls eventually stopped BUT their policy is apparently to resume bothering people after a new year started.

So, let me reiterate:

I am not a client of this business. I have been receiving marketing calls from this business. I have tried blocking their number(s) but it appears there is always a new number. I will never, ever, ever do business with a company like this.

Hi  Tina,

Thank you for raising this matter with us. We're so sorry that you're still being contacted after requesting to be taken off our database. Please inbox us your contact details if there's another number besides the one listed here, so that we can make sure they are removed from the system, and you aren't contacted again.

Please just note that it can take up to 48 hours for the removal to reflect on the system.

What is wrong with The Unlimited? AGAIN!!! another call today, at 13h30. When I asked the woman why The Unlimited keep on calling me after I have requested not to be contacted several times, she just ended the call. Next step....a formal complaint with the Information Regulator.

We're so sorry that you're still being called after requesting to be removed from our database. We take the POPI Act very seriously, so we'll investigate this matter and get back to you ASAP. To assist us in this process, please send us a private message with the number on which you are still being called, if it's different from the one in your review.

I fail to see how this will help as it hasn't made any difference previously.

Hi Tina.

If it's the same number mentioned in your review, then there shouldn't be any calls made to it. We'll need to look into how this is still happening. If it's a different number, please provide it so we can add it to our "Do Not Contact" list.

I deleted the review posted earlier today, and decided to instead continue this thread...just so that people who research this company and read reviews, can see this and how long this has now been going on.
I do not believe a word The Unlimited's representative posts here.
After all my requests to have my information removed, I am still receiving calls and the spam has now escalated. From 9:20 this morning, I have received 3 calls, and over the last 3 days, 6 calls. In my opinion, this company has no regard for the protection of personal information.

We completely understand your frustration and we sincerely apologize for the trouble we've caused. Our IT team is investigating this issue because it's possible that you are being manually dialed even though you were already added to our "Do Not Call" list in our system.
