Please see the e-mail data trail as below.</p> <p>I need to be refunded for all these deductions.</p> <p>From: Deon Joubert ********** /> Date: Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 4:58 PM<br /> Subject: RE: Vodacom Customer Care Reply - Authentication Response ***~4Q42<br /> To: ********** <p><br />This deduction is still going through against my account.
