Theft under false Pretenses

I am Hildegarde Banks, a single parent of 2 sons from Eldorado Park, south of Johannesburg.

On 21 August 2025 I made contact with a guy by the name of N Thaver via whatsapp. I was responding to an ad I saw on Facebook for Quartz countertops. I received a reply in which he requested my address to come do the measurements. He came to my place of residence where he took the measurements and provided me with the attached quotation on 16 September.

On the 9th November we had a whatsapp call whereby he informed me that I need to fix the sink cupboard before he can do the installation. I then bought new boards and had a new sink unit made. On 17 November I made 2 payshap payments of R3000 each from my FNB account to his capitec account 2176040283.

On 1st December he came to my place of residence again for final fittings. I sent him a message on Friday 12th December whereby he rep**** that he will confirm by the afternoon when the installation will be done. This was the last message I received from him. Since then he is not taking my calls and also not responding to my messages.

I am a small business owner and I try to support small businesses where possible. I have requested several quotes from different companies and I decided to support Mr N Thaver but he saw it fit to **** hard working persons.

I have been saving to fix my kitchen for a few months and he has the audacity to ***** under false pretences.
