Paid R900 – No Service Delivered (ChemPower Trading and Projects / BestVetst Chemicals)

I am sharing my experience to warn others about ChemPower Trading and Projects, trading as BestVet. After submitting a request for services, I was contacted via WhatsApp by two individuals from the company: Meriska and Christiaan. I was told that a 50% deposit of R600 was required upfront to purchase materials, with the remaining 50% payable after completion. I paid the R600 deposit. Over the weekend, Christiaan claimed his vehicle had broken down and requested an additional R300 for repairs so he could proceed with the job. Trusting him, I transferred the additional R300. He was scheduled to arrive on Tuesday but did not show up. He also failed to arrive thereafter. The service has not been delivered, and I have not received any refund. I want to point out that there is a lady who has previously reviewed this business on HelloPeter, Meriska S., giving it a 5-star review on 26 January 2026. This is the same Mariska who works with Christiaan and is involved in this conduct. At this point, I am extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and communication. I have proof of payment and screenshots of all correspondence. I am requesting a full refund of my R900 and strongly advise others to exercise caution when dealing with this company.
