URGENT COMPLAINT – ***** ALERT: Gareth Lawrence / The Home Cooked Chefs

🚨 URGENT COMPLAINT – ***** ALERT: Gareth Lawrence / The Home Cooked Chefs I am reporting Gareth Lawrence, owner of The Home Cooked Chefs (Registration: K2023649741, Address: 43 Riverton Crescent, Riverton) for *****ulent business practices, theft, and failure to deliver services paid for.

On 1 March 2025, Gareth Lawrence contacted me directly to promote a relaunch of his business, claiming they were running reopening specials. As a previous customer, I trusted him and transferred R1141 on 2 March 2025 for two weeks of pre-cooked meals.

I received nothing. No food. Just excuse after excuse. I followed up multiple times and was strung along with lies and false promises of delivery and refund. Eventually, he completely ghosted me.

On 3 April 2025, I had his bank account blocked for suspected ***** after a month of chasing him. Only then did he contact me again—not to apologise or fix anything, but to complain that I caused the account block. Since then, it’s been complete silence. No refund. No food. No resolution.

It has now been three months, and I have reported the matter to the police for *****. I’m tired of being patient and polite. This is theft, plain and simple, and I want my R1141 refunded immediately.

I’m sharing this as a public warning: Do NOT trust Gareth Lawrence or The Home Cooked Chefs. This operation is dishonest and *********, and no one else should fall victim to it.

I demand a full refund, an apology, and accountability for this ****.

You know who I am. If i would give a 0 star i would give it -100000000
