Charged $1 for receiving an unsolicited CNY greeting SMS

[innovate]

Damp, I checked my bill last night and I am 1 of the victim with the 1 dollar charge. Call up M1 and they can't do anything. Try to call mTouche and the phone is always engage, anyone got a better ideal how can we solve this once and for all.

Thanks

called M1 and they're willing to 'waive the $1', awaiting a reply call....

just keep calling M1..and REFUSE TO PAY..rather than pay liao and trying to get a refund.(which would be impractical!)

I think that's the way to do it. The telcos can't just absolve themselves of all blame, they're the ones doing the billing!

I emailed IDA and they agreed to help and look into the case.... hopefully, something is done fast.

Log in to M1 website and file a complaint, I believe they are very customer focus so they would response to all website customer complaint, dont trust the verbal discussion with M1 operator (no record retention hence no one knows how many complaint)

They might win in the old days, but in the new days of internet and forums, these things get publicize very fast and consumers know very fast, we need to keep on complaint to M1 and Singtel Mobile.

I suggest u write your own letter to IDA and not copy from others, so IDA realize that there are many ppl complaining, not the same email being forwarded.
In your email, write your phone number, your telco service provider, and say that u are being charged with $1 for a Value Added Service that u did no ask for, complaint to IDA about M1 and Singtel Mobile, so they will get to the root cause of the problem, dont complaint about mTouche, becasue even they close down mTouche, another guy will set up another company and do the same trick. M1 and Singtel Mobile are branded names and they will not close down.

i was just informed by m1 customer service when i called them that my bill will be waived next month, inclusive of gst too...

but i find it funny why no announcement is made about this whole hooha, maybe too :embrass: ?

 

[Terence]

Aiyo, a media reporter just emailed me asking me about the email I had circulated to my friends.

I guess the press is really catching on to this.
