Scammed by Parkmor Paving

So, I have just officially been scammed by Shaun Jonker of Parkmor Paving. On 25 June I paid him a deposit for my paving project which was set for 2 July. On the night of 1 July he calls me to say unfortunately he can't do the paving the next day because the person assigned to the job has Covid-19. He will call me again to reschedule. Since then he has been giving me the run-around in terms of getting back to me. However, we finally set on a new date of 13 July which I confirmed on Friday 10th. It's now 13 July and no sign of Shaun / Parkmor Paving. All calls go to voicemail, and WhatsApp messages are unread. Email and landline are all directed straight to Shaun, so there is no one else to contact and no further recourse. I realise now he has no intention of doing the work and has actually stolen my deposit. I wish I had read all these other reviews earlier. I can kick myself for not doing so. But please be warned - do not do dealings with Parkmor Paving.
