I have one statement so far, but when I saw the queue in their shop I aborted the idea of trying to settle the amount owed.

I will pay, but only if I get an invoice and it is 100% legit in terms of the detail on it.
 
Mr Zuma sais he wont pay taxes for Nkandla cause he didnt ask for it.
I say I follow my president patriotically, I will not pay my e-tolls because I didnt ask for it!
 
Have received 4 invoices so far - all carefully ripped up and placed in "file 13"

Thanks for the heads up - if they call will add to blocked call list
 
Got a call from then Friday. Just hung up and went about my business. Haven't given it a second thought until I saw this thread.
 
Haven't received any invoices, calls or any other form of correspondence.

^ my initial thought. Decided on my "annoyance" strategy rather. As I answer the call I just say "Hold on a sec for me?" and then proceed in putting the phone back in my pocket ...and later checking how long they held on for.

WRONG!!!

You'd better quote the full 10-digit number because many legitimate businesses and individuals have an 011-083-XXXX number.

It's also the number sequence for many with Skype subscriptions. My worldwide family calls my personal Skype number which starts +27 11 083-XXXX.

From here:

Ignore sms, email and phone calls from Scamral. They are illegal methods which they are using to intimidate you into paying and getting E-Tagged.

If you answered a call from Scamral by mistake, you can just hang up. You are not obligated to talk to them or explain why they have not received your payment.

If you really feel the need to answer the phone, you can tell them:
1. that you do not have any agreement with them and that they must stop harassing you. Hang up.
or
2. ask them to hold and put them on hold indefinitely.
or
3. that you have handed over the bills to be disputed and you will not pay until all disputes has been resolved or until you are legally advised to pay. Hang up the phone.
or
4. You have lodged a dispute. At this point in time your disputes have not been resolved and you have been advised not to pay until all your disputes have been resolved. Hang up the phone.

Do not provide any personal information over the phone. It is not safe. Do not provide an email address.

The only legal method for them to communicate with you is they must post you a tax invoice.

Then, if you really feel obligated to do something, you can remain anonymous and query your invoices using http://cvsonline.co.za/etoll/

While you are querying your invoices Scamral cannot take any further action against you.

You will also be assisting OUTA and your fellow motorists in compiling statistics that may be used in defense of non payers or to challenge this unjust law in court.

This is a free service provided by OUTA but bear in mind that they rely on donations to continue the fight against E-Toll, so please support them if you can.

Be informed. Know your rights.
