Wootware was also fine until they gave me a faulty mobo. Sent it back to them and they gave it back still faulty but they insisted it was tested. Bleugh.

Request report, then request the seller to do an RMA (to obtain authorisation to return the goods) on which you will receive another report, should the issue be unresolved, then initiate a RTV* to sidestep the seller.

*Only RTV in your own capacity when the seller don’t resolve the issue, as per provided report and under registered warranty.

The vendor will also provide a report, resolve the issue or leave the issue unresolved.

There is always the CPA.
 
Just received an e-mail from Prophecy - they also closed the shop and started an equipment rental service.
 
the main issue is the rubbish story he gave me after i called him... totally evasive and nonsensical...

- that sybaritic had some unfortunate fraud which lead to their closing...
- that sybaritic was liquidated and stopped trading immediately in December
- that his stock confirmation process was unfortunately automated which is why it said my stock was available (load of crap) i know the stock confirmation was a manual process which means, he confirmed my stock at his suppliers with the intention of getting my payment and running...
- this only really affected the turkeys (like me) paying him via EFT... no way to get your money back without going to court...
- that only people around my particular purchase time were affected... (9 december)
- soon found out it was happening from October already...
- that he is an employee only now at tech stop but the "investor" can't give me any assurance as to them not doing this again...
- that he's "honouring" the money he's stolen from me by giving it back to me if i spend another R10k with him?

the story goes on and on...
 
Isn't liquidation a legal process?

I'd log complaints of fraud at both his bank, your bank - and the police.

Has anybody checked if he's still using the same bank account with Tech Shop? That'd be rather amusing.
 
Liquidation is a legal process for sure.. and he's opted for voluntary liquidation as Sybaritic... this could have financial implications for him and his new scam TechStop.
 
Their site is completely borked and broken atm.
Someone needs to physically visit that place and see what's going on, it can't be run by a single person.
What's the possibility of it being hacked, or a having a disgruntled employee trying his luck.

0 percent. This is purely a move by Graeme to get away from Sybaritic if you ask me. I would be surprised if there is a "silent" investor other than Graeme himself.

Can anyone find out when the Voluntary Liquidation request was submitted?

How is he going to stop folk just turning up asking for their order. His face is on the internet too. Such a risk, he must be a bit doff.

Surely its registered somewhere and can be validated? Not just him claiming to be in liquidation.

Cipro has it listed as going into Voluntary Liquidation, but I want to find out when that was requested.

His final deregistration was due to AR 16/07/2010… You can request the close corporation information from CIPC at the cost of R30 for the certificate disclosure. In truth, his assigned financial officer didn’t do the submissions… which is also the owner(s) negligence.

But now if the CC was deregister on 16/07/2010 then he has broken the law by trading after that date?

Yes, not to mention tax, VAT... also his responsibility to update entity details with suppliers etc. Audit trails will pull his pants down and... SARS and the police will be knocking.

Ahhh well, I suppose the statement that Karma is a biatch is appropriate now.

Also his linked in profile is somewhat interesting, There is not much in the way of business experience which may explain why Sybaritic has gone tits up.... in a way its a surprise it lasted as long as it did.

It reflects as such on the CIPC as well. He'll be in massive schitt if this is somehow "staged":
