Telkom 1023 online listing - White Pages

**Blurock** · 13-Feb-23, 11:40 AM

Listing on 1023 is free – so don’t get conned into paying for it.
Fraud is defined as “deception for personal gain”. In this case it is clear that the caller abuses the public’s innocence and lack of understanding for her own financial gain.

Is it possible to delete / mask off your personally identifiable information and upload the pdf scan of the document as an attachment?
(Click "Go advanced" and the attachment routine is blow the post entry area).

Same thing happened with me.
Considering getting legal advice :-( I don't trust them.
Even the way the deal with phone calls and emails is very dodgy.

At work we keep getting the White business pages phoning and saying it is the telkom white pages and it is free, but you must confirm your details and sign. I've attached the copy of what they send. In the agreement part you will see they will invoice you six thousand rand.

Quite a long drive from the company's physical and postal address according to CIPC to the post box in that form

Rydalvale, Phoenix, Durban to Pretoria main post office is quite a haul.

I see they haven't renewed at CIPC for the last couple of years. Pickings must be slim at the moment.

Do nothing. It is a private company looking to make some loot.

Hi LindaR
The exact same thing happened to me - a lady named Sage (also with an attitude and very rude) called and I would also like to know if this is a legal document and what I should do because my gutt tells me this is a scam.....

Now I received an Invoice for R14 400 for a listing that I cannot find anywhere on a website called Telecom 1023. A lady (with an attitude) called me asking for payment of the Invoice. I asked her to send me the agreement, which she did (It was the form that they sent for the supposed "free listing"), this time accompanied by the terms and conditions in HUGE print on a separate page that she attached. Is this a legal document and what should I do? Please assist

Hi - any feedback on this?
Happened with me as well and now they keep on phoning to get payment.
Even though i have said that cancelation has been done in given time. Claim they never received the cancelation...
