    CoCT charges 28 units @ R100 no wonder people are susceptible to being scammed

    CoCT does not make appointments, they rock up by your place unannounced

    Lower the price of the electricity, then people will stop falling for these scammers. Stop increasing the electricity every year. People r struggling.

    It’s easy to make copies of the identity card and a false name. That is a very soft approach to scammers. The appointment is a good way of defeating the scammers, do calls get answers? Rather NEVER let anyone on your property, not unless you make an appointment with whoever you need to come, you are in charge of your home. End of story.

      Scammers can even intercept calls didn't u know that? They can also drop fake letters in people's post boxes and tell them to call the fake number they put on there for appointments.

    It's a waste of time! Can't this woman just answer the question? What's the modes operandi? She says there's 2 ways but she doesn't even know one?

      In these days it's difficult to judge people ....half don't hav a job because of unfairness....city stil increase in increase ...strange part you hav hours of loadshedding but you still buy the monthly amount and still get less units johhhh.i don't like stealing and similar But I won't make it my business to get involve of that be. You dont know the situation the seller or buyer are in
      The leaders of the country steal the country suffer put up everything nd the person on street pay the price
      Therfor the best nd the good go for cheaper
      I will challenge city to beat the price nd win all instead then we do t hav scams

    Just had a visit by them and told them we were not notified or have any knowledge about them coming around. When they heard we do not have prepaid they apologized for desturbing us very concerned and apologetically, and quickly made their exit. Then I looked up if city is sending out people to come into our houses. Be careful. I had a feeling they also want to come into ones house for other reasons which are not safe. Thank you for asking good questions.
