The Association of Concerned Renewable Energy Consumers (ACREC) has been inundated with complaints from Nigerians consumers about the unauthorized calls they have received from a Chinese solar energy firm, Beebeejump in recent times. This is a breach of privacy and perhaps data theft. This should not be allowed in Nigeria.

That is not all. We also learnt that some of the consumers who have purchased the product complained bitterly of the spurious claims by the brand which started a business in Nigeria over a year ago.

"Invading personal data for whatsoever reason is unethical and unacceptable same as making false about product quality and capability.

In this age where nations and global institutions frown at data and privacy breach, it is unethical and unprofessional for any foreign organization to attempt or steal personal information of people in order to use same data for personal gains. The actions of Beebeejump and its executive is condemnable and shouldn’t be condoned by regulatory bodies," the association said in a statement.

Moreso, consumers complained bitterly that the product they purchased from this same firm didn’t meet the specifications as claimed by the marketers of the brand, who lured them into buying the product. According to some of the complainants, it was discovered after purchase that the product doesn’t last long and it doesn’t power the number of electrical and electronic appliances such as light bulbs, TV and other devices as earlier promised.

As a concerned body, the Association frowns at these actions and the unethical behaviour of Beebeejump and its promoters. Meanwhile, the Association is seeking ways to ensure that the complaints of the consumers who have purchased the product are shared with the regulatory bodies and would do its best to work alongside relevant agencies to protect the privacy and interest of Nigerians.
