I am so glad to see i wasn’t the only one HARASSED! this person called every day and when i asked for information, i was ignored. I was never told they were independent, any info i requested was ignored! My boss took over and thankfully he put an end to their calls.
I FEEL SORRY THE OLD PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING INTMIDATED BY THESE COMPANIES – but as we know, what goes around – will certainly comes around for them too!!!!

I have also received one from Effective now and just want to let you all know there are about 14 companies I have been aproached by to do the same thing. Most of them contact you by phone. As far as I am concerned they are all Scammers and just ripping innocent people off.

Gees i must be lucky to be getting a discount. I filled the dam form in last year and paid the money across via eft, 3 weeks later a lady from Telkom came around to update our details in person, needless to say i was livid with my own stupidity. I have just received renewal letter and its is only R 999.00 for the renewal. I have politely declined their services via fax.

The price went up to R1700.00. I received a fax this morning. I almost fell for it. I will not say this is a scam, but it is very misleading to uninformed people. Luckily I found this website in time. Thank you. At least she states that they are independent from Telkom and offers this service as a convenience to the public. This is still your decision but if you are uninformed, you would probably believe that this is compulsory for your ad to be published in the yellow pages.

I contacted them on 041 363 8131.

Someone needs to do something about them. The women even claimed to be the same company as Trudon! when she called in. They have scammed too many people out of their hard earned moneys.
