Fraud/Theft - Cape Cupboard Doctor

I hired Johan from Cape Cupboard Doctor (tel: + ********** 0689) by referral to come and add a drawer in my kitchen. He came and took measurements. He left and the next day he sent me a message that he needs a deposit in order to buy the materials. I was a little hesitant, but I never thought he would be dishonest, even though he looks like a drunk. After that I battled to get hold of him and he would send an occasional message to say that he will come by. Then I would not hear from him for a while. I said that I was going to report him to the police, and he asked me for a second chance to fix his mistake. And of course this was to no avail. Now I cannot get him to respond, so I am opening a case of theft against him. I contacted the person who referred Johan to me, and he apologised profusely as he did not know Johan was like that and that he had recently heard from another person that Johan had stolen money from after promising to do their kitchen. Not too sure if they are actually in cahoots. Another review on this site has had the same thing happen to her. THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE CAUGHT AND STOPPED!!!
