There are so many scammers trying to get you listed on some directory. DONT!
If you want to get listed anywhere first do your homework and check the credentials of the company.
Never do an on-line listing.
You may approach the Consumer Protection Association for assistance.

These scammers have become busy again, received one of these yesterday morning
Please tell me what you guys did…..did you pay them?? Same thing, Telcom 1023, happened to me this week, I might have to pay the R14 400 from my own pocket! Please tell me whether you found out is it a legal document, can they blacklist me/us nd l the other threats…..
PLease do not subscribe to any directory or business list or anything that you see on FaceBook or receive via email.Originally Posted by Lyd
First do a search to see if the company is legitimate and then consider whether you will receive any benefit from being listed.
Even if the company is legit, also consider that some of these companies will sell your contact information to other organisations.
Expect even more spam!
A company such as Telkom or any corparate institution will not use a Yahoo or gmail account.
Block these immediately. If the email was sent to multiple recipients, it is also a clue to spam.
Get additional security to protect your data.

Do not pay them whatever you do. You need to block them and ignore them. I got this advice from Wendy Knowler. A journalist in Cape Town. Google her. They tried to threaten numerous times. I just put the phone down. I have had no threats from for a while but every now and then they try again but no legal action has been taken against me and I signed the form on 22nd May 2023. good luck.

Guys please help!!!
Signed last year April due to over working and being in a hurry to get everything done! Did not read the fine print.
Blocked all the numbers and emails.
After a year I just received an email from the sherrif office demanding the payment...
Yet NO VAT is on the statement and also no banking details...
Please help me. I am in so much trouble already with this I honestly can't handle more.
Since when does the sheriff of the court deliver letters of demand?
Via email!
If you can delete your own details, please post the email as further evidence of the fraud being perpetrated by this operation.
