Vodacom dismissed 631 workers and contractors for fraud in the year to end-March after the mobile communications group investigated more than 8,000 cases.

“These cases were reported and identified through various channels, including direct reports received from customers, service providers, online reports, referrals from business, the fraud management system and external whistle-blowing.”

“Contractors as well as strategic and business partners complete separate training relevant to their role and position. The principles also guide the sourcing of suppliers, contractors, and strategic and business partners who are expected to integrate the standards into their businesses.”

Explains why sim-swops can be done so easily by fraudsters. Vodacom literally had/still have close to 1000's of fraudsters working for them.

Perhaps in tomorrow's article we will find out whether MTN and Telkom and Cell C have similar figures/stats, or higher ...

Good, time these A-Holes learn crime don't pay. Should be executed on the spot so they don't do it to another business and would send a clear message to the others.

And jail time?

That's the new way as per anc protocol

If they fire you or you resign then that's it, done and dusted in their view.

And jail time?

Vodacom cannot do that, otherwise they would have done the same to that annoying Please call me guy.

 

[Hemi300c]

And they and many other Cell Co's , Banks etc etc always say they are not to blame and they point figures at others when there is fraud etc.

I would love to see who these "fired" ex employees are...............but I suppose we will never know but if you know you know.

Just for Vodacom alone, its the tip of the iceberg as to how much there is.

All fabricated lies. Fraud doesn't happen in private sector. I think there might have been some technical irregularities.

Now do the banks.

Just simple accounting irregularities and some overzealous journalist jumps to fraud.

Shame they were hungry.

Exclaimed the edgelord with a troll-faced grin.

Difference is that here something actually happens (when push comes to shove).
