CON ARTIST CHEF Jason Skead calls himself Magic Meals

We employed Magic Meals (Pty) Ltd represented by Chef Jason Skead to cater for a dinner at our home. My wife discussed all menus, requirements and additional staff with him in detail. He sent us a quotation, we paid a 50% deposit of R4,273-50. Two days before the event he said he was thinking of cancelling because he was too busy. My wife said she would ask someone else to do the dessert, and he agreed he would do the rest. On the Saturday of the event he sent us a WhatsApp advising we had not paid the balance of the quoted amount (we had advised him we would pay him COD) and he was cancelling!! We called immediately, he would not answer his phone or reply to e-mails, he has not responded to requests to refund our deposit. Luckily we only paid 50%, this guy is a *****. No address on his quotation or website www.magicmeals.co.za We have laid a complaint with the Consumer Council and will spread the word on social media. BEWARE OF THIS CON ARTIST
