Runs away with your money

Came to fix leaking toilet and the apparently the pressure reduction valve to the house was wasting water and had to be replaced. Had to pay 1600 rand before job is done. Then when he came to do the job said that the old valve just needed to have some stones removed from it and is now working fine. He said he would pay me back a fair portion of the 1600 but after many follow ups and lies I was never paid back any money. I think the whole thing was a hoax. Wish I checked Hello Peter before letting this guy in my house, don't make the same mistake. Stay far away from these *********.
