Vodacom take your money but do not deliver airtime

<p>On 17 November 2016 at 8:15 I bought R50 airtime from vodacom on the Vodacom website http://myvodacom.secure.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/myvodacom/buy-bundles#/buy-bundles-2</p> <p>it went through and I received the airtime on the simcard. I then purchased a second lot for R100 for a different number everything went well till the last step where I was suppose to get a conformation from Vodacom I got a message in red transaction unsuccessful try again later.</p> <p>I did try again a few minutes later and the same thing happened. A few minutes later I got a message from my bank informing that both of the transactions was successful and the money was transferred to Vodacom Service JH. I checked the number but no Airtime.</p> <p>On 17 November my bank statement indicate that the money went to Vodacom</p> <p> 14/11/2016 VODACOM SERVIC ********** ********** 1 -100</p> <p>14/11/2016 VODACOM SERVIC ********** ********** 1 -100</p> <p>Still no airtime. I phoned 082111 and after all the options I got an operator who recorded my query for about 45 min I received a reference number and an enjoy your day.</p> <p>On Friday I called again as nothing has happened, no call backs. I was told that I must submit my bank statement to prove that the money went off my account, which I did and request a read receipt from Vodacom. That I received for both the recipients at Vodacom I then got a number of emails every time asking for more personal details, which I gave them.</p> <p>I then was asked to rate the system which I did giving 0 for all the questions upon which I got a reply “How can we approve the service” I rep**** please call me, sorry to say Nobody did.</p> <p>This morning I phoned again, Now they say they haven’t received my documents and I must ask my bank to refund me, My bank have not got the money It is in the Vodacom account.</p> <p>Vodacom have no Customer care, they are *****ing our money.</p>

Eventually Sharron Naidoo, from data services paid the money into my cellphone account. She was the only Vodacom person that was helpful and retuned calls not afraid to give her number and email address. Thanks, Sharron, you are an example to all Vodacom personnel.

Now I only two more issues to solve.
