[ToxicBunny]

You have been BS'd from start to finish...

The money is gone, and your only option is a fraud case with the cops and the banks.

This.
Then he should go to a tat parlour and have "do not repeat" tattooed on his forehead.

First - "name & shame", maybe some people here have some experience in dealing with this business or person.

Second - lay fraud charges with saps, dont let them string you along with "its a civil matter bla bla bla".

Third - get started with small claims court, although attorneys are not permitted to represent parties in the small claims court, have a once-off consult with an attorney to get your ducks in order & ensure nothing is left out in drafting letter of demand etc - make sure you inform the attorney you are taking action through small claims court & you only need his help in drafting the documents etc.

I do not belive I am being unreasonable by posting this information here, as if this order had ever been legit, he could at least had the decency to contact me at least _once_.

[Aghori]

I thought you said 20k?

 

[xera]

Thought it was R20k?

R 17 320.00 total (friend payed the rest), I said R20k to avoid being specific, hence the '~' character before the amount.

 

[xrapidx]

I can't understand how you let it be for so long.
