Stay away. They’re *****sters. Garage doors. “Starck Garage Doors”
I contacted this crowd via the internet advertising as “24 Hour Garage Door Repair & Maintenance Services” or “Garage Door Repairs Door & Motor Maintenance”. They’re responsive to a call out and offer to give a quote. They arrive late, claiming traffic is a problem. They have a bakkie with decals on it and look the part. They give a quote, and then ask for a deposit of 50% of the quote. They use a speed point for payment right away. They then agree to a date and time to do the job. They give an invoice for “Starck Garage Doors (Pty) Ltd. On the day when they must appear, they call, citing unavailability of a “installer”. They call from a landline that doesn’t receive incoming calls. None of their numbers work. You speak to “Yvonne” via WhatsApp, she only sends text and voice notes”. They then make another arrangement for the next day. Then they disappear. None of their numbers work. They don’t answer the mobile phone. They’re *****sters. Stay away. They’ve picked the wrong victim this time. Their numbers are: (081) 579-0614 , (011) 477-4766 , (011) 477-7327 email is info@garage-door-repairs-johannesburg.co.za

KPMG not to be trusted.
Don’t let the one star be confusing. It should be zero stars. Promise and peril: The KPMG Apology Paradox Dec 2014 to Jan 2016 - KPMG South Africa takes a brief for R23 million that results in harming civil servants - primarily 4 persons and an investigative unit. The 4 are not afforded a hearing and the “report” is littered with falsities and heavily qualified to serve no purpose. Jan 2016 - Jun 2017 - Public pressure mounts, clients start deserting KPMG South Africa with their reputation tarnished. Jun 2017 to Sept 2017 - KPMG comes to South Africa for an “internal review”. They refuse to hear people. They issue a public apology to South Africa, and conclusions, findings and legal opinions are withdrawn. The full fee is paid back. September 2017 - KPMG South Africa publicly apologises to South Africa, saying “sorry will never be enough” but refuse to apologise to the people by name again. 8 partners “leave” KPMG South Africa and they donate R47 million to charity. It later turns out those that left were paid to leave. Oct 2017 - KPMG South Africa appears before Parliament admitting “the work isn’t perfect” without saying what is and what not. Jun 2018 - a professional auditing panel finds: “When a professional copies and pastes conclusions as if they are their own, that’s dishonesty and unprofessional” and “There is prima facie evidence of non-compliance with the code on the part of certain members [of KPMG].” Dec 2018 - a Commission of Inquiry finds: “The reputation of SARS was severely damaged by the allegations made in the KPMG report” and “The leadership of SARS was undermined to such an extent that it became difficult for the organisation to function effectively.” Aug 2020 - KPMG South Africa publicly admits causing harm to people, that they were traumatised and undertook to “contribute towards reparations”. They never do so. Jan 2022 - a Commission of Inquiry into state capture and *******ion finds: “The integrity and effectiveness of SARS have been compromised by political interference and discredited reports that sought to dismantle its leadership” and “The KPMG report was part of a calculated effort to weaken SARS, leading to a loss of skilled personnel and a decline in tax compliance.” KPMG stakes their entire integrity on the thoroughness of their own secret internal “review” which is never made public. 2015 - 2025: KPMG International and KPMG South Africa are challenged on the content of the secret internal “review” and report by one person. They consistently refuse to take it up. If the person is right, it’ll undo the entire spin put to the public, and their reputation will be totally ruined. They’ve painted themselves into a corner. It has happened before: Companies conduct “reviews”, issue “apologies”, but later scrutiny show these to be totally inadequate. BP - 2010 Volkswagen - 2015 Wells Fargo - 2016 United Airlines - 2017 Equifax - 2017 Facebook/Meta - 2018 Boeing - 2019 Johnson & Johnson - 2019 Nestlé - 2021 It will happen again. Totally insincere and dishonest. Not to be trusted.

Best ENT specialist in Gauteng.
Absolutely fantastic ENT specialist. I would absolutely recommend Dr Adzatia without any hesitation. After walking around for two weeks with serious discomfort and pain and half deaf, my GP recommended me to Dr Adzatia. He was willing to squeeze me into his busy schedule the very next morning. At his rooms, they did state of the art testing, he had equipment to show me exactly what was going on in my ear, nose and throat in real time, and the medication he gave provided almost instant relief. He is what I like to refer to as a “progressive practitioner”, starting with the obvious things and least invasive, eliminating possibilities and then as time goes, depending on response, adjusts the treatment. In my case he ultimately had to do a small operation. Super efficient, the friendliest doctor you’ll ever meet, happy to take calls or even call back. He’s the sort of doctor that just makes you feel better for seeing him and being explained what the issues are. Superb bedside manners like doctors of old and an absolute pleasure to see. You won’t be sorry. Dr Adzatia knows exactly what he’s doing. Save him on your contact list. I’ve never in my life needed an ENT, but when it came to that. I’m very glad it was him. His office staff are just as friendly and efficient. Trust me. He’s the ENT specialist you need if in need. He is truly a very special doctor, and special human being. 🙏🙏🙏

Uber ******* and ******** banking deductions - “Uber shopper statement”
Of late, I’ve noticed unauthorised debits from by credit card by Uber that are referenced as “Uber shopper statement” followed by some sort of reference number. Attempts to contact Uber have failed. Uber is impossible to get hold of. They all equal the exact same amount of R20.00. Daylight *******. I wonder how many other people are being ****** like this. Uber has become a most unreliable and ************* service and brand, always reported as either dangerous, a bad experience, wrong deductions, cancelled trips at last minute, and now these unauthorised deductions. I’ve also reported it with my bank, which has resulted in me having to cancel my card and pay to get a new one. The hassle and inconvenience resulting from Uber is inexcusable. I’m guessing I am not the only person being fleeced like this. Somewhere there’s something seriously afoot at Uber. My advice is to never entrust them with your credit card or bank card details. Simply impossible to try speak to them to get your money back. Shocking service and even more shocking practice by them.

Very dissatisfied with FNB
I’ve been with FNB for over 3 decades. Always impressed. But something seems to be slipping over there. On a Sunday, I transferred in realtime an amount from another SA bank to my FNB investment account. To make sure all was well, I first transferred a small amount. I received the Incontact notice and I checked that the transaction reflected on the FNB online app. So far so good. I then make 3 subsequent transfers from the same bank, in quick succession. All were realtime payments, all reflected on the FNB online app and Incontact. Two days later, the one transaction is gone. ****! Thin air. I ask. I get shunted from pillar to post. FNB is adamant they never received the 1 transaction of the 4. I go to Incontact and find all transactions were erased. There’s a gap between the days. Blank. Nada. I ask for a copy of record of Incontact messages for the day, but nothing forthcoming. FNB then tells me I must go to the other bank it’s their issue. I do so. I have the Proof of Payment but that’s not good enough for FNB. I send proof of all 4 transactions that occurred minutes after each other. Still not good enough for FNB. I ask FNB to provide me with their copies of the Incontact messages of the day and the emails. Nothing doing. Everything gets “escalated” and “sent to management” and the standard replies are typical. It is about trust, ultimately. What may be little money for FNB is a lot for me. Their responses are so bad, that they cause trauma, frustration and stress at levels I won’t explain here. It takes hours to get a response telephonically, and same with emails. Some staff are friendly, but they’re clearly unauthorised to do what needs to be done. I accept that FNB has its own internal controls to guard against ***** and so forth, but how on earth does a transaction and all its related records simply disappear into thin air? How? Incontact is different from a statement or transaction record. The emails sent by a Incontact are different records. How is this possible? Meanwhile, life goes on… If FNB responds here, I’ll predict the usual: “We are investigating blah blah.” Or: “We are aware of the issue and are busy determining what occurred blah blah.” Standard predetermined replies. Days will pass. Who knows what will happen. If anything at all. I find it incredibly bizarre and totally unacceptable and very unprofessional. FNB can do better. Really.

Don’t transact with Armour SA online. You will regret it. Trust me.
I placed an order online on 13 September 2020 and paid the same day. I waited a month for my delivery. Nothing. I emailed them on their website and have not received any replies, nevermind an acknowledgment of receipt. I called them. I was promised delivery within the week. Some excuse about order mixed up. A month passed. I called again. Another excuse. Promised delivery with the week. Nothing. I called again. Another excuse. Promised delivery within 2 days. Nothing. I’ve called again. Another excuse. Promised to deal with it within the same day. I live in hope. Don’t transact with them online. Pathetic.

Don't ever buy a thing from Incredible Connection - The Grove Mall, Tshwane
Went to Incredible Connection at The Grove Mall, Tshwane in May 2017. Asked for help and they were very keen to provide me with advice and suggest a laptop to buy for my wife. I accepted their advice and found their attitude rather refreshing at the time... It was a birthday gift and my wife was busy moving offices. She elected to not use it until she moved to her new office in late 2017 to make it extra special. She tried it once, to load software that I purchased with it. It hung and was generally unresponsive. I took it in to Incredible Connection. The service was the poorest imaginable. Clueless, not really interested and the process to a while. They said they'd get back to me by the following week. They did not. A month later I went there and they could not even find the laptop. I had to find it in their register for them. Then in the most lacklustre way possible, they switched it on and asked me what was wrong it it! It seemed to work and I took it. Now my wife is in her new office and she decided to start using it. Same old problems. She asked an expert to have a look at it. This is now a brand new, "state of the art" laptop - supposed to be... He found the battery faulty, the motherboard faulty, the hard-drive faulty, you name it and it was faulty... I call them and after a long wait. listening to a pre-recorded voice telling me to hold on, eventually, a man answered. I explained the problem. I wanted my money back or a new laptop. I was calm and reasonable. He made me explain the entire story and then said "oh, you must speak to my manager...I will put you through..." He does so...pre-recorded voice again...and then a voicemail facility. I left a message but have no expectations for a call back. Incredible Connection is actually a very poor but certainly Incredibly Bad Connection. Stay away at all cost.
