Jason Schilder - Cape Town scammer - beware!!!

In July I saw an ad on gumtree by a Cape-Town based company called the “The Door Guyz”. I am always hesitant to do business remotely (with all the scams going around) so I contacted them, looked at their web site, spoke to a moving company that has delivered many doors all over the country for them - and all seemed legit. I asked for quotes, and on 29 July I paid my deposit of R14 500 for 3 sets of stacking doors.

However, I have still not received the doors – the owner, Jason Schilder, ignores my calls and messages, and only responds about once per month, each time promising me that the doors “are almost ready”. This has been going on for more than 4 months now, and in the meantime I cannot complete my bridal cottage.

According to the CIPC web site, the previous director was a Mr Michael Jacobus Schilder, but he resigned in February this year, and now Jason Schilder is the new sole director.
