********** Contracts taken out on my name and Vodacom couldn't care less!!!

On 8 Jan I received two SMS's stating a new quote was generated on my Vodacom profile. Then airtime transfer services was activated, I phoned the Vodacom customer care being late at night there was no answer and I hanged up. The next morning a lady phoned me and I explained she stated there were two contracts opened on my name. She flagged my account so that any changes could only happen in store and ensured me the numbers would be removed. The sms continued after two days so I phoned Vodacom again and logged into my Vodacom profile where I could see the two numbers the call operator then escalated the matter and ensured me it would be removed. End January my bill was normal. Now end February and it started again this time an attempted sim swap, I logged into my Vodacom profile and saw the two numbers still there with a bill of R 13 000. I phoned the customer care this time I was informed that I would need to get a police affidavit and forward it onto the ***** department. As for the debit order there was nothing they could do, not freeze the account, not cancel the two ********** contracts nothing. The email reply from the ***** department states they will reply within 7 - 14 days. This is unacceptable I must suffer due to their neglects to protect me and there is no assistance that they can offer I feel hard done to know ********* can steel my identity and Vodacom couldn't care less in fact they care so little that they will still debit my account and leave me without money for the month. I am sure what they are doing is ******* and a good lawyer could take them to school. I decided to transfer all my money from my account and pay my other debit orders manually and WILL NOT PAY VODACOM UNTIL THIS ***** IS STOPPED AND MY ACCOUNT SORTED. My contracts expires late 2021 I will be canceling.

what makes you think I will provide any information for a number that comes up as "potential *****" this is even more evident of how pathetic vodacom is that they cannot have a business name registered under their own numbers. I have sent you my instructions to cancel all my contracts due to your neglect and pathetic service.

No one has been able to sort out this mess. Vodacom have really treated me so badly and feedback from the call center yesterday was they do not see any *****. I have however been able to see that these ********** accounts was done by LikeMinds Vodacom and I am now waiting for the recordings of these so called contracts to be forwarded to me. WHY DID THE ***** DEPARTMENT NOT DO THIS????
Also worth mentioning that once you go through the whole process to investigate the ***** you receive an email and within it is an email address you can use for feedback *** THIS EMAIL ADDRESS BOUNCES????
I have also instructed Vodacom to cancel my legit contracts as I feel they have violated the agreement between us. I cannot believe that a client of 15 years are being treated this way. It is an eye opener to see how bad service delivery is within Vodacom.

Day 74 still not resolved. Vodacom has now cut my lines but still no feedback from the ***** department, still no voice recordings provided. I have referred the matter to the ombudsman.
