I spoke to Greg four months ago and paid for a consultation he said he would get back to me and he never did. I called him a few months later and he was so unbelievably rude. He even slammed the phone down. I wanted to pay the man money to do landscaping. I hope he does not behave like this to all his customers. I am dispointed why should this happen to other people. read full review »

I got a call from a guy working for World Connect at about 10:30 am on 28 Oct 2008. He could not provide me specific details about where I allegedly entered into this competition.

He said my spouse and I have entered into a competition to win a car. I am not married nor have I been engaged to anyone before. I definately would not enter into a competition if I knew up front that I need to have a... read full review »

I met a consultant outside a absa bank in February and she insisted on talking to me, and she started asking me about my personal details and then I informed her that there is no way I'm giving my details and she ask me to sign so that she can show her supervisors that she talk to me. I only gave her my name and mobile number and she also assured me that should I decide to take the policy a call centre agent will contact me and will explain everything to me as she and others on the street are only trained on the basic stuff.

This company has now tried to scam me twice - but with no luck! After receiving their first scam letter telling me that I won a quarter of a million rand but needed to send R215 in order to redeem it, I decided to call their call centre as an "unsuspecting customer" trying to redeem the funds that I won. The con artist who answered had no clue what he was talking about and when I asked him how he got my details and how I had won this competition he could not provide me with a straight answer. I eventually told him that he was a liar, a... read full review »

Via an Internet dating site, I met a person and she sent me a message via SAFEDIVERT to start communicating. It was rather clear that there would be a R60 per week subscription fee - nothing serious.

We paid 26K for this product and the only documents it reads is the 3 sample documents supplied with the SDK. Anything else than that it does not read and gives you garbage back. I would recommend anyone to beware of this as the supplier do not even respond to any requests and once you have purchased the product you will realise the product does not work as they describe it to work. This company does not even have contact numbers on the internet which makes it even more frustrating. Watch out everyone, dont let them rob you. read full review »
