Bad unreliable company

Found the company through Facebook Market place. Reached out to the owner. He sent me a quote for bricks and told me to pay 50% for delivery before close of business. I then told him that want to see the items first before paying and i was on my way to Fochville (the company's listed address).

Went there only to find it was a farm and there was no factory as described. I tried calling the owner. He stopped answering my calls after i told him i was at the said address.

This is is a week later and I still cannot get hold of the seller. I told A friend to call him and he answered. Mmmm

Nearly lost 13k for something non-existent.
