Vodacom taking advantage of vulnerable customers

Vodacom changed the status of my number without my authorization or consent. This is fradulent. I have a contract with Vodacom for the past 4 years which I paid R1000 for and my account was always up to date and did not owe Vodacom a single cent. Now my contract ended and I got a phone call from one of the consultant at Vodacom who wanted to retain me. I expressed my concern about not wanting to pay R1000 monthly anymore but the consultant did not budge and mentioned I will loose my line. I was being forced to stay on by the consultant which I did not have a choice but had to agree to a month to month for R30 after he indirectly threatened me that I will loose my number. I was told that my number has been changed to month to month for R30 and was ok with the R30 monthly payment. Few days later I got a text stating my line has been changed to prepaid although I already agreed to a month to month contract with Vodacom for R30 and I called Vodacom to understand what was going on and why was my number status changed to prepaid without my consent and I could not get any help. Few days later my line was blocked and not working till date. Contacted Vodacom and up to date there was no solution. Also there's an excess amount of R1500 that was left in my contract account which was attested to by one of the consultants at Vodacom because I made excess payment into my account and I was told to ask for a refund and I have done this and up to date Vodacom has not refunded me. I have heard a lot of negative things about Vodacom from other customers but I did not know I will be the next victim of their fradulent activities. Vodacom is taking advantage of vulnerable customers and this is not ok and people need to be aware of this

You did not get in touch with me because you know exactly what you are doing. It is all lies from Vodacom. You have cheated and ****med me. You changed the status of my of my number in a fradulent manner without my consent or authorization. I have been a loyal customer for over 4 years paying Vodacom a R1000 monthly and my account is always up to date. You have messed me up with you incompetency and unprofessionalism by changing my number status without my consent or authorization. That's a serious ******** offence. What Vodacom has done is *******. You are not fixing the problem you created but keeps lying that you will call me which has never happened. You are also owing me R1500 which you have not refunded me till date although I asked for a refund. You are just ****ming vulnerable people. Vodacom does not have integrity. If you do you will not be engaging in these *****ulent and ******** behaviour. Now I know why I was told not to use Vodacom because they end up cheating and sucking the life out of you
