Congratulations on successfully claiming the best ADSL package in South Africa!

We have created your Afrihost ADSL account on our system.

Here's what you need to do to activate your ADSL account:

Please email a copy of your ID or Driver's License to [email protected] or
alternatively fax a copy to 0865 511 781.

One of our team is standing by to verify and activate your ADSL account as
soon as possible.

Once your ADSL account is verified and live, we will send you an email and
SMS confirming that you can start using your ADSL username and password.

Why do we need you to send us proof of your identity?

While we know that the vast majority of our new clients are honest and
trustworthy, the unfortunate truth is that in the past dishonest people used
fake details to sign up with us.

They then used up all of the traffic allocated to them and we had to absorb
this cost. This led to a significant increase in our overall costs.

For this reason we need to have this step in place so that we can
continue to bring you the best value ADSL packages and ensure that
your costs are never increased.

We thank you for your understanding and help in this matter.

If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at [email protected]
or give us a call on 011 234 5045.

Thanks and enjoy the rest of your day!

Warm regards

The Afrihost Legal Team

So they oversell.

& really **** them. This is the last time I do business with them.

I intend to use my 10G which I paid for.
 
Don't think they oversold but crooks supplied fake account number or stole Credit Card details so Afrihost don't get paid at the end.

WebAfrica also does the same with ID verification.

They can not sell 10GB if they have no intention of not allowing a user to use 10GB. Will they force me to pay more if I do use my full 10GB as advertised?
 
It's quite clear that they are referring to people fraudulently signing up and using bandwidth that Afrihost did not end up getting paid for ......... sheesh :rolleyes:
 
The bolded part of your post refers to fraudsters that sign up for accounts, rape them and don't pay...hit and runs if you will.

It's pretty simple to understand..

+1 to all.

It's just strange how "some" people get their backs all upright when authorization is requested ... :erm:

If you clean why the fuss ? but if you intend on doing something you should not be .... well .... :rolleyes:

If you don't like it, why bother to sign up? :confused:

If you no longer want the account, give us the UID/PW and we will use it for you! Make sure you cancel immediately though. :D
 
I'm confused - where are they saying you can't use the 10GB you bought?

Or is it that you're dodgy and you want to sign up with fake details - and can't?
 
Ag shame man! :D

This guy just needed some attention, and he knew if he used the term 'Afrihost' in his title, he will get it.

Now pick up your toys again and go play elsewhere. :rolleyes:

dude this is just stupid. Whats wrong with giving your ID? you can just ask them to close the account since they want your ID.

I guess you have no bank accounts since they ALL need ID's?
