Sandton Pool Services steals deposit
<p>I met with Gavin Liebenberg from Sandton Pool Services with regard to my pool that was leaking too much water. He suggested replacing all pipes which I agreed to (I received the same advice from another pool company). He quoted between R3 000 and R3 500 which I accepted. He requested a 50% deposit which I paid on the 1st March 2017. He left 1 worker at my home for half a day to start digging a trench for the new pipes. On the 1st March, he sent an email saying he did not want to continue as the price quoted was too low. This is an extract from his email on the 1st March: "<em>Please e mail me your bank details so I can re deposit your funds and I will cut my losses</em>". I received a further email on the 7th March: "<em>Accounts will settle today</em>" (it is unlikely he has an accounts department!). On the 13th March: "<em>I told accounts to pay it last week, I'm back from cpt today and will follow up</em>". Payment has not been made and he does not respond to emails or calls. I suspect he never intended to refund the deposit which amounts to an act of fraud. The amount of money involved is small but the principle is big (how many others has he cheated?) We are proceeding with legal action against him. </p>
