Mr Vivian John Young and Skrill

This guy is a *****ster! Dont ever respond to any of his emails! He responds to ads on Junkmail or Gumtree and tells you download some payment app (Skrill in my case) in order to pay you for whatever you're trying to sell but then says he needs help from you to pay a pickup agent and he will then pay you for the item as well as whatever you paid the pickup agent on his behalf. I suspect he has hacked the payment app emails and he responds pretending to be them in order to create a false sense of security, he sends you his South African ID as well as the pickup agents ID and says he is a God fearing man and will never **** you. Then he says theres an extra cost that the pickup agent forgot to include and that you must now also make this payment and he will also give you that money back once you provide proof that you paid the agent by going to Shoprite. He sends emails from the app he made you download also saying they he put all the money in the app but it will only be released to you after you make these payments. He makes it seem like you are holding up the transaction by taking too long and that his account has already been debited and the only way you will see the money is if you 'help him' by paying the agent for him. He also says he has put in a little extra R200 into your app account for your effort. DONT PAY MONEY to *** Apparently, this guys ID number is *** The below is a complaint from another person who had a similar experience: 'Mr Vivian John Young (a buyer from my Gumtree & Marketplace ads) instructed me to open a Neteller account in order to arrange a Shoprite courier to collect the items. I was instructed to make a cash sent payment of R1250 to secure the pick up. The second payment R1480 was because the buyer "mistakenly" chose the wrong Provence. I have loads of emails from Neteller and Mr Young. I have a copy of Mr Young's ID document and his email address. I also have a cellphone number which was supposedly the courier driver.'

Contract minutes not allocated

MTN South Africa I logged a call on 13 December about minutes not allocated to me and you STILL haven't allocated me my contract minutes. Your customer service is pathetic... actually non existent. I have multiple reference numbers for tickets logged but that clearly means nothing as I still haven't been allocated my minutes as per my contract. Your 24 to 48hrs turnaround time has long since passed, why isn't this resolved yet. No one from MTN has given a reason as to why this happened. No one calls back to provide feedback. Im given different stories by different people every time I call to find out when this will be resolved. It's been two weeks that I'm without my minutes which I pay for. I can't make any calls! Which is ridiculous since I have a contract which includes minutes, yet I don't have any. But you're quick to send me sms's about my next debit order date and that prices are going up next year!!! What a joke!

Pathetic Manager conduct!

Pathetic Manager conduct! Almost two weeks ago, we ordered the family variety feast which comes with half chicken and two burgers. We specifically asked them numerous times, not to cut the chicken as they had previously done, we want the half chicken intact, because previously, they took random four pieces and gave us as 'half chicken'. Once we got home, we ate the burgers and saved the chicken for later. Again, they had given us 4 random pieces of dry chicken and labelled it 'half' - it was to late to return that night so we returned it first thing the next morning. They remembered us from the day before and took the chicken back and said they would investigate and get back to us. Almost two weeks later, WE had to phone them to find out what was the outcome. The store manager said that it was store policy that we produce the receipt and then only would they re-do the order. But none of the staff mentioned this when they took the returned chicken back the very next day. Now the store manager says that if we want we can come fetch the same chicken we returned two weeks ago as they still have it somewhere in their fridge! Otherwise he wont do anything. What an appalling attitude towards paying customers who are now short on half a chicken which was returned to the store and which they are keeping for us indefinitely it seems, so we can come fetch at some time!

MTN Eastgate Mall - Taking more than 5 days to allocate contract to me.

I currently have a contract with MTN and would like to take out another (porting a per-paid number) but its taking more than 5 days to do so. Eastgate MTN says that it is because MTN have moved over to a new system and they have never used it. Everyday I get about 15 sms's saying 'authentication failed' then immdediately after I get another saying ' You have been successfully authenticated' the after that, one saying ' We have Un-Reserved SIM/Device for your order' - and this happens in not particular order. I dont understand why this process is taking so long especially since I already have a contract with MTN. What is this system that some of MTN uses while other branches like Eastgate say they havent used it as yet???

No Action Taken Against Rude Instructor

Club: Edenglen Incident Date: 27 August 2017 - 8:30am This complaint was raised both on the day it happened and a call made on the 28 August 2017. Up until 7 September 2017, we have had no feedback except that the club will deal with the matter. The yoga class instructor - the only name the club could provide is Monique, verbally abused my husband, (which is ironic since she is a yoga instructor). Her attitude and behaviour was completely uncalled for, this is the general comment from other club members who witnessed the episode, who also said that she is very rude to people on a regular basis - along with being verbally abusive she proceeded to jam the class door shut with a stick. As paying members, we would appreciate action be taken against her as soon as possible and feedback be relayed back to us, as this entire situation could have been avoided if she had handled herself differently.

TIMESHARE SCAM!!!!! Misrepresentation and Bad Attitude

Its all a scam!! Dont get sucked in! I got a call from the call centre who LPA contracts to bring in potential clients, telling me I qualify for a free, no obligation holiday voucher. Right then I told the call centre agent that if this has anything to with timeshare, then Im not interested. The agent named Clivy, assured me that it wasnt, I dont need to take my wallet or any cards when I go to collect my voucher, all I have to do is listen to a 30-45min explanation on how to use the voucher at their various resorts. I got a call two days later confirming my attendance and again, I made it very clear that I wasnt interested in the voucher if it has anything to do with timeshare, this time Paul insisted it wasnt. My husband and I went to collect the voucher at The Views Office Park - 2nd floor, in Modderfontein on 5 September 2017 at 6pm. On arrival, we were told to fill out forms which required ID numbers, combined monthly income, addresses and signatures, which to me was strange as we just had to listen to explanantion on using the vouchers. When I told the receptionist there that I wasnt going to complete the entire form, she told me that I cant get the voucher then. I reluctantly filled out the form but refused to sign it. When the consultant named Sidwell came to fetch us, he asked how it was that we came to be there and I explained about the call centre and how I made it very clear that the whole scenario seemed like a timeshare selling event. He went on to apologise and said that the call centre should not have told me that it wasnt timeshare because it clearly was. He himself called it misrepresentation, he told us that its no point continuing the chat as was very clear from the start that we no interested in buying, he did say that he would still get us our voucher. When leaving, we asked for the form that we filled in so we could destroy it and they refused to give it to us. Another consultant then started saying to me that I didnt give Sidwell a chance to talk and explain what we were there for. When I told him that from the first call I received I said Im not interested in timeshare, he then went on to interrogate and condesend me on what do I think timeshare is and how could I ever leave the house without my wallet or cards, even to go to the shop. He was very rude and arrogant and he wasnt even our consultant and he was the one who said that we dont get the voucher as we didnt sit through our consultants talk. I called the next day to get the names of the consultants present but they are refusing to give me their names. Their attitude horrendous, they really just call you to scam you and guilt you into buying timeshare, they dont take no for an answer as they are always ready to workout a payment plan that you can afford, just as long as you sign with them. Just because I stood up for what I said, I got attacked from someone who had no business getting involved with me and the consultant assigned to me. We dont need their 'free' 5 day mid week (except public and school holidays) voucher but, they cant treat people they way they did me simply because I said - thanks but, no thanks.

REFUND DUE BUT THEY IGNORE REQUESTS

After billing me R258 000 for a nine month period and only after I queried this ridiculous amount and found out that it was in fact COJ's fault, which they took a month to correct. I am now due a refund on my account since June this year, after the attorneys sent a letter to COJ - twice, they have up to date, still not refunded me! If the consumer is late in making payment to them, they are very quick to cut off services with explanation or considerations, but when it is time to refund the consumer, they ignore requests! Typical behavior for a government department. What will it take to get whats is due to me??? They are USELESS!

Discovery Vitality & Vitality Mall

Taking a month to resolve one issue

I joined team vitality on 06-05-15 - joining fee was taken off my account immediately. I was then meant to receive a welcome email with my discount voucher codes for various fitness partners, shortly after joining. I was also supposed to be receiving my kit via courier. I have not received either of these, despite sending numerous emails to team vitality requesting at the very least, my welcome email as I was told that the kit is being ordered from Italy. The response to my email (the last being on the 26-05-15)saying that some would be in contact with me within 3-5 working days. I havent received any other communication from them since. I have called the discovery vitality call center to find out what is going on & all they tell me is that I should email team vitality as they cant put me through & there is no number to call them directly. I have subsequently requested that my membership with team vitality be cancelled & that I be refunded my joining fee, to which again, I have received no response. It seems that now team vitality is in the business of ignoring emails. They took my joining fee & I have nothing to for it! All I want is to cancel my membership & get my money back!

Flight Centre South Africa

Three weeks later and still no quote

I went to the flight centre in Woodmead and Sunninghill within a day of each other to get quotes on a holiday package in December. All my details were taken down, dates, price range and three weeks later, I am still waiting for either one of those branches to get to me with any form of communication! I have subsequently gone to another travel agent and I have received my quote within two days. I will never recommend flight centre to anyone, their lack of service is appalling!!
