The 2 women working in the store are beyond vulgar. I saw them both standing on the pavement outside the shop this morning hurling abuse at an older Durbanville lady and swearing loudly while laughing and performing line they were in a shebeen.
Fraud charges being investigated by SAPS Durbanville against Pieter, Wessel, Gert Strydom. Detective HJ Williams. 021 9705600. Case number 136-2-2021. If you have been scammed by Strydom pls contact Detective Williams, he needs as many statements as possible to approach Court for an arrest.
Gert / Pieter/ Wessel Strydom in cahoots with Desiree Van Eeden and Ashwill Muller, be aware that this is a group of scamsters and crooks. Also operate under Sonic Renovations and Pool . Wessel / Pieter / Gert Strydom takes your deposit, drops a few roadside labourers at your building site for a few days , then disappears when he can't scam any more money out of you. No materials are ever delivered and he always has a story about being on his way but never arrives. Tries to rush you into paying deposits as the item is being discounted and only available that day. Of course nothing is ever delivered. He is a 34 year old, slightly tubby, Afrikaans speaking man. Brags about being a civil engineer, a rugby player, says he owns property in Namibia, says he is married to Desiree who is according to him a pharmacist at Dischem. Has in- law family in Piketberg according to him and a 10 year od son. Smooth, charming and an out and out crook. Many SAPS fraud cases outstanding against him.
Conman - Sonic Renovation or GP Renovations Peter / Gert and now Wessel Strydom. Takes your deposit, picks up a few men at the side of the road, breaks down a bit, cements a bit, asks for more money for ' discounted' doors or windows and then disappears with your money. He has no tools or equipment of his own, arrives in a little white car. Tells rubbish stories about being an engineer and various other lies. Has very little building knowledge, tells various hard luck stories until he sees that he can't get any more money and then runs. Very charming for the first few days with his Tannie and Oom stories. Absolute pathological liar. Will stop at no lie to try and squeeze more money out of you. Even let his labourers stand on the pavement this week at 7pm and we had to pay them as he had no money. He has now gapped with our full deposit.
Firstly I was told by the teller to go and fetch a gift card from a stand quite a walk from the till, while there were at least 20 people waiting in the queue and she had a packer who could have gone to fetch the cards. They refused and waited until I had fetched the cards myself. I then saw that all the gift cards still read Merry Xmas and happy Festive Season. The teller told me that those were the only ones available. I was in a hurry so spent R1000 x3 on gift cards which read Merry Xmas. I spoke to the manager on duty who apologised but said there was nothing he could do as these are the only gift cards available. Really ? Merry Xmas on the last day of February. That is the level of interest PnP takes in what it offers for sale to customers. ?
