Telkom 1023 online listing - White Pages

[LindaR]

Any advice on the above question please?

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.

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.

PLease do not subscribe to any directory or business list or anything that you see on FaceBook or receive via email.
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.

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.
