Re: Spam messages
My efforts to try and get rid of some spamming.

Re: Spam messages
You can also get into a lot of trouble if you're corrupt and if you steal tax payers' millions. :P
They don't need permission to call you. That's what unsolicited means. However, they MUST remove you from their database immediately if you ask for it. ECTA act and all that.

Re: Spam messages
We had Joshua door, and the usual credit killers calling DAILY for staff, sometimes twice a day, (staff don't work in the office)
African bank too
So eventually got hold of the regional manager of one of the stores and informed him we would open harrassment charges should they keep calling my business looking for staff for personal matters
Calls have since ended
I am always amazed at how much these staff members are allowed to borrow though

Years ago I had the same and informed the caller when hr phoned for confirmation of employment not to provide credit to the member. Credit Provider said how came I say that. Exactly 3 months later the same person phoned asking if I could speak to the default payer. I reminded him of 3 month previous and the call stoped.

Re: Spam messages
Got a message from them this morning from the address below. DA is the most persistent spammer in SA. Changes email addresses and 087 numbers daily. Wish I could get one back on them.
