I recently noticed a suspicious debit transaction of R99 against one of my bank accounts. The description of the transaction that appeared on my statement was as follows:
NAEDO TRACKED DO (14, 50) DIGICASH 0/MCGK SANET
I had never encountered such a cryptic description for any transaction in the past, so I decided to investigate where it had originated from. After contacting several intermediaries, I was finally able to establish that the source of the transaction was sa netlink, which is supposedly a company that markets golden rewards. I called the owner of sa netlink/golden rewards (Suraksha M.) and was assured that I would be refunded the full R99. Unfortunately, after 3 weeks of waiting and numerous e-mails, the money has not yet been refunded. I don't believe that the owner was sincere when she promised to refund the money.
The worst thing about all of this is that there is no telling how many of these unauthorised transactions these people have initiated against my account. I sincerely hope that somebody puts an end is put to this behavior.
