Scam of note, guy has ripped many people off.
 
Let's not forget about griin-e https://griin-e.co.za/

Both hello Peter and Google reviews show the same trend in reviews.

Small 'warehouse' shop that quotes and never has stock, but quickly fetches it with a bakkie. Witnessed this first hand. Seems there are a few in the same area and operate similar with the same manner of scamming people.

Griin-e was registered in Jan 2022. Also a newly popup. They are only a 17 minute drive to phase energy. I know griin-e has been mentioned before but it is important to note the similarities. Amazingly there is a Mike who answers WhatsApp and works for both Phase Energy and griin-e, or it is just a huge coincidence

Both griin-e and phase energy have the same refund policy wording. I have a screenshot in case they go and change it now. Both updated 10 February 2022 or just a huge coincidence

Interestingly enough, they tick all the boxes at VLDTR.


Be very careful out there.

Edit:
@Snyper564 there are allegations that they are using a company registration belonging to another legit business, I do not have CIPC search, maybe you can comment on this?

Dodgy AF, based on pricing and the fact that they did a cut and paste job of the google reviews.

How come your Google review links are pasted pictures and therefore not clickable?

Ron,

I am not sure what would've given you that impression.

As part of the GeneratorKing Group, we've been operating ethically and productively for over 15 years.

The screenshot you've attached is incorrect, we're located in the same building as the GeneratorKing in Lanseria Corporate estate, not too far up the road from where this pin is located, and next door to FMC Lanseria Cold Store.

Attached is some photos of our building, and a link to our showroom on Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/L...27.9213299!9m1!1b1!16s/g/11srs43r9d?entry=ttu

Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions at this time.
