I recieved a phone call on monday the 29th of August from Ausfis, the lady speaking was Veronika Gail.
Having survived a farm attack, I have been desperately searching for a way to get out of South Africa. So when she started talking to me, I got so excited that I didnt listen to the alarm bells going off.
At some point it got to the credit card details and payment. I told Veronika Gail that I am not able to pay R2214.09 now, but I asked if it would be possible to pay her at the end of september, that way I can save up a grand each monthh and still have enough money to pay my bills.
She assured me that it would not be a problem, and she just wants to start filling in my information so that we can get started, she talked about availablility, and how important it was to "secure a position".
When she asked for my card details and security number, I did not want to tell her, she put me through to her manager, Mr. Chris Jordan. He assured me that it was totally safe, they have a SSL system. What ever that means. I told him repeatedly that I cannot afford 2k right now, he insisted that he just wants to put it on his records.
2 minutes after the phone call, my bank texts me, my account has been debited. Im furious, I call them and he says the best he can do is a 30% deposit back into my account.
After that I talk to all my friends and family who live in Australia. Then I look on the internet, literally hundreds of thousands of people insist it is a scam.
Heart pounding, Im panicked, they have taken from me all my money, I called back and insisted on talking to Chris Jordan. The telesales man said he is not in. But he put me through to HIS manager, guess who, Veronika Gail.
So Im allready gagging on the "something fishy", and tell her in no uncertain terms that I want my money back. Any company with as bad a reputation as they have, I want NOTHING to do with.
She said she would get Chris Jordan to email me.
That was monday evening, and tuesday morning.
Since then I have called back 4 times, each time I ask for Chris Jordan, the phone gets slammed in my ear, or I get put on hold and no one ever picks up.
I am panicked, I dont know how I am going to pay my bills, buy food or get to work this month, September has not even started yet, and nomatter how many times I call and email www.ausfis.org, they dont do anything.
The picture attached shows gramatical errors in their email, and the horrible excuse they use.
They said if they do pay me, it will take 7 to 28 working days, which is bullshit according to my bank, because if they were able to take all my money from my account in 4 minutes, then it cant possibly be such a vast time difference in reverse.
Please people, when you read this blog, understand that I am NOT an unsatisfied customer.
They swindled money out of me. I am literally financially crippled because they were negligent and purposefully abused me.
Dont do business with Ausfis. Dont give your credit card details over a telephone conversation.
Dont become a victim of crime.
