********** WASP deductions

My number (which is used by my elderly mum) has been **********ly signed up and daily deductions have been made from the number for WASP services which we never signed up for. The phone is not even a smart phone. I only found out when I noticed her airtime disappearing despite her not using the phone.

I want Vodacom to refund all the deductions taken from the airtime. We never signed up for this. This is ***** and Vodacom must take action against the company doing this.

Despite unsubscribing from the **********ly subscribed service, airtime is still being deducted from my account. I am not sure if ExploreApp or Vodacom are the **********. Still not no help from Vodacom. Unable to speak to a live person on Customer Service !

Vodacom wants to offer me R5 as a token of goodwill ! Ridiculous. They say "Holy One" is deducting the money and they cannot control it or stop it! The call centre is so noisy it seems as if the agent is calling from a public restaurant! Keeps saying cannot hear which is obvious if there is so much noise in the call centre!

Vodacom is enabling **********! This is unaccepable that you cannot stop these ********** deductions!

Please contact me on ***

The affected number ***) is used by mum who will not be able to answer your questions on the issue.  I need Vodacom to investigate and refund all the ********** deductions since it started. I am prepared to open a ******** case against Vodacom for facilitating this ***** against me. I have already contacted the media.

Dear Vodacom - I've explained in detail the ********** and ******** deductions to my number which your call centre agent has already told me that Vodacom cannot stop 3rd parties from deducting customers account.

Investigate this ***** and refund the money ****** over several months. I've asked you to contact me on my number and not the number where the ***** took place (which is my elderly mothers number and she will not be able to explain the issue)

Vodacom eventually resolved the issue for me and compensated for the ****** money. Thank you to Sonia Anne Livesey - you did great in assisting my elderly mum with this issue.

I only hope Vodacom can stop these ********** once and for all and hold them ********ly liable.
