Sending me false SMS's

I received an SMS from truworths saying that I have R1000 in vouchers and R3200 account limit. All I need to do is take my ID into the store an they will activate it. So....I drive all the way to my nearest store and find out it is not true. I had to fill out some details first. Bit annoyed, but I was still ok at this stage. The lady said I would get an sms letting me know if my application was successful. Low and behold, I get an SMS from them saying the following... "Your Truworths offer with vouchers is waiting for you. Please take your ID to the nearest store to complete." Now I could be mistaken, but that leads someone to believe the at the application is successful. So once again I drive all the way to Truworths...only to get there and be told that my application has been denied. ***?? Then why offer me **** in the first place? and why not send me an SMS saying it has been declined? Why tell me that I have vouchers and offers waiting for me and when I get there tell me it has been declined??? Twice I had my hopes up and twice I was deceived. Very, very disappointed. Dont offer people stuff and then decline it. Very bad.
