IT Workup

[ITworkup]

@edvinas, thank you for providing clarity on the situation. I look forward to this being continued on Thursday.

For the time being, can you please confirm who will be handling all pending orders done through itworkup.co.za? Will this be fenway.co.za, who have stated they are not affiliated - or through cssi.co.za?

Please can you also touch on the relationship between itworkup.co.za and fenway.co.za. I see they share the same website design. I was also able to login at one stage using my itworkup.co.za credentials and view my order - however, this for some reason is no longer possible.

Hello,

All orders are now managed and handled by CSSi which were made thru ITworkup website. We no longer have access to the bank account or stock, as we were forcefully removed from the office despite having fully paid the last requested rents. More details regarding this will be shared in a blog post.


Fenway is our new company, and we will be fulfilling all new orders placed through the Fenway website. Unfortunately, we had to remove all accounts from our new platform, as all invoices and orders were originally part of ITworkup, and legally, we cannot retain access to them under a different company.


If you require any assistance, we have provided all necessary information to CSSi. They have full access to the Payfast, TymeBank, and Yoco accounts and should be able to verify your payments or placed orders.

Thank you.

So i had to reply and did not know I even had a MBB account since 14 years ago, but I just went to pick up my order last week, and arrived after 6pm, and the owner was walking out of the building and met him. What a great guy. He showed me the ITworkup sales team, some of the drivers and packers were still packing orders and the phones were still ringing some guys were taking in orders. Guys, they were processing hundreds of orders it looked like, I saw with my own eyes. So the owner is indeed the guy James as above someone tracked online. He is the same guy who launched Home Connect, CSSI, CipherWaVE, and involved in supporting startups. I actually have a home connect fibre line too ;-) When I asked him a few questions about ITworkup he just smiled and said 'watch this space'. It looks like this might be the next TakeAlot. One of guys said they launching in capeTown and Durban. My guess after what I saw is they not interested in making profits or they suppporting from the other companies this startup and not all about money at the moment but growing market share with a GREAT SERVICE which explains their CRAZY pricing and stupid bargain offers. My gaming i9 rig with 2 GPU's worked perfect right out the box. I just finished setting it up and they sent a message that if you write a review, on the next order, you will get 'discount-voucher', so thats me coming out of my box to write this. I saw one of the new G series Dell laptops they just got in and want it ;-). Google 5 star review also on the way, and I know i am a newbie as i just follow blogs, but here is my first ever review on MBB and can vouch this is not a small company, but a major new player on the deck which I think we all need. I highly recommend if anyone still has doubts like i did after reading all your posts, get into an Uber and drive down, and if you lucky meet the CEO or the team. What an inspiration even though I only had like 4 minutes of face time with him and he even inspired me to bring my business idea to life, so thank you Mr. James. ~From Tiago.

Just to add, I’ve taken screenshots of all the posts he made here because he will definitely rush to delete them now.

And you guys can say hello to James' account, which he started here to write nonsense without any consultation with me. I will provide more information about this in the blog, but it might take some time before I get to it. Thanks.

And Tiago=James, we know.

The entire itworkup.co.za website and design were part of our ITwork branch. We have simply moved everything to our new company and new domain, www.fenway.co.za, which we now fully control and can use to provide even better services.

Now, just sponsor some few serious articles on MyBB about www.fenway.co.za.

 

[ITworkup]

Hi all, just left the offices. I managed to get the phone I ordered but it seems I am lucky. The itworkup people apparently didn't pitch for work today so the brilliant guys that own the building, CSSI, are sorting through all the inventory and are trying their best to fulfill orders. I suggest if your order was supposed to be in, you should call or go there and see if you are as lucky as I am.

Orders that are newer I hope you guys can get a charge back. Both itworkup and fenway sites are down and Google says they are closed, so unless the guys can tell us differently I think check if your order has been delivered to the office, if not charge back if you can..

Good luck everyone

Edit: please note that the people in reception and there physically aren't itworkup people, just good guys trying to help, so please don't be rude or angry at them.

This stock was shipped by us from Europe. We have been doing everything possible to ensure you receive it and that all orders are fulfilled. Even while dealing with disputes with James, we never stopped providing and shipping services to our clients.


Also, Fenway.co.za is not down – it is fully operational and has never been down. You can check it here: www.Fenway.co.za.

What is James hoping to do with the ITworkup domain and company considering he's now last the companies only competitive edge in the market, which was the ability to work with ITwork in Lithuania and do direct imports?

What is James hoping to do with the ITworkup domain and company considering he's now last the companies only competitive edge in the market, which was the ability to work with ITwork in Lithuania and do direct imports?

Here’s a perfect example of how James tried to take advantage of the organic traffic we built for ITworkup to sell his own services related to data centers and similar things. This is the equivalent of selling beds on the BMW.co.za website—our customers were never interested in anything like that.

He has no chance of continuing any business through ITworkup because he has none of our systems, website, or suppliers.

That’s the reality.

Reading all this... the conclusion:

 

[derp90]

I must say, I'm pretty annoyed now that I've bought items from the 'itworkup' company with the understanding that I would receive warranty via them, but it seems doubtful that the itworkup company will last, seeing as all they have is a domain name, and fenway can't or won't take on that warranty.

I don't hold much hope for my warranty now. It seems unfair that it could just be gone, even though 90% of the work of getting my order to me and supporting the logistics and infrastructure was seemingly done by what is now fenway.

I guess I'm just ranting, but if legally the warranty is provided by 'itworkup/cssi', I guess there's nothing that can be done.

show from start to finish .That's why i buy all my tech stuff from Wootware.

If you have any issues with the warranty, email me at [email protected]. Since everything was purchased through our European suppliers, we can either get a refund or a replacement. We do this solely for our customers after experiencing such cynical behavior towards us from James and his CSSi company.

Even with this thread being super entertaining, I cannot see how anyone can support any of the companies on either side of the fence here, this public mud slinging kindergarden contest does not inspire any confidence

Better than Scott who disappeared and didnt say a word i suppose

Better than Scott who disappeared and didnt say a word i suppose

And then just magically restarted the business without saying a word either.

But yeah, I was wary of ITWorkup as an idea initially, but was warming up to possibly using them, now it will take a fair chunk of convincing for me to part with my money on either business atm.

 

[Streetlight in the rain]

I would rather support local IT shops. But thanks for the entertaining reading material.

i had to sign up an account after reading all this.

i know some people will have at go at me for what i am about to say but i don't care. it's called freedom of speech.

There are two sides to every story and all you are doing is taking on the one side. let this James guy respond with his side before you throw mud all over without having all the facts. all anyone has is hearsay and posts of things from conversations. that does not constitute actual facts. proof is in the pudding and i for one will not eat the pudding until i have all details about this.

 

[ITworkup]

I have a very strong suspicion that James just created this account after his big failure writing from Tiago’s account. Even if that’s not the case, the answer is very simple:


All the facts, along with evidence, will be documented here. Over the next two weeks, as I have more time in the evenings, the full information will be completed from start to finish:

If James wants to prove anything with facts, then let him come forward with actual evidence and screenshots showing where I am wrong. And yes, I have made mistakes, but I have always admitted them and never ran away from them.

The only person who never makes mistakes is the one who does nothing at all.

I have countless emails sent to him where I asked him to back up his claims with facts and, if he was mistaken, to simply admit it and say, "Yes, I was wrong."

HE HAS NEVER IN HIS LIFE SAID THAT HE WAS WRONG. NEVER.

Yet, he has lied hundreds of times, and every single one of those lies will be exposed in this blog.

Whenever you show him real evidence proving he is lying, he just starts talking nonsense instead of addressing the facts.

Any of the mybb admin can check ip range, email add to confirm if this is James
