Telkom & Seemingly ***** Trudon Company

<p>Just over a year ago, a gentleman called me saying he was from a company called Trudon and wanted our company to list in yellow pages. I told him I wasn't interested but he insisted on sending me information to look at. I told him that was fine. An email from Trudon came in and I didn't even bother to read it but little did I know that it was upon me to reply rejecting the offer until a couple of months later when I noticed that there were monthly additions onto my Telkom bill. I contacted Telkom and they told me it was Trudon and I had to sort it out with them. After a long hassle with Trudon, who were now placing all the responsibility on me, they agreed to terminate 'my contract'. That did not happen, deductions went on and after more to-and-fros, they refunded me. During this time, I received my bills directly from email addresses of Telkom employees rather from the system as I usually do and it was after I complained that I received a proper bill from Telkom with Trudon deductions not showing. That was months ago and all seemed to have been sorted out.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now my latest bill has an additional R499 for "Directly entries'. On calling Telkom, they say it's Trudon. I don't have a contract with Trudon and it puzzles me how Telkom bills money for a third-party company without the approval or consent of customers. I wonder if this Trudon company has something to do with some people within Telkom. To me their actions appear fishy and probably **********. I wonder how many people have unknowingly fallen prey to the activities of Trudon. Maybe this is something that needs to be looked into.</p> <p> </p> <p>In all this, Telkom washes itself of responsibility yet it's Telkom that bills this amount. I think there's something terribly shady with Trudon and more so, its relationship with Telkom.</p> <p> </p>
