Dishonest, *****, unreliable, *******

We called Attie based on what came up on a google search in a desperate attempt to have our geyser fixed on a Sunday. He was not punctual, however he eventually came to check what's going on and said that the geyser had burst and we need a new geyser. He wanted a 80% deposit which we paid him. He didn't end up coming back that day as promised and only at the end of the day, after phoning him, did he say that there is no stock of the geyser and he would sort it out the next day. We became suspicious and found negative reviews on hello peter and google. We called him and requested a refund. He promised to refund as soon as the money reflected in his account. Anyways we had another plumber fix the geyser within half an hour. Turns out the geyser did not burst! The element burnt. This proved Attie to be a chancer. Up until today 1 month later I still have not received my deposit of R12 000. These people are ****mers, absolutely dishonest, unreliable, bunch of pathetic *******. Please be cautious!
