Caution - Lead Generator (Appointment setter)

Has anyone done business with a so-called appointment lead generator, S BUX, under the name Leads 21? cellphone number ends in 842.

I paid for appointments that never materialised. I wrote off the money paid for those appointments, but I also paid R2,000 for a corporate appointment where expectations were created with the client, and I was assured the meeting was “90% secured.” That meeting never happened as client didn't pitch.

Since October, I’ve been promised a refund, and I’ve been more than patient and lenient. In April, this same person made a R500 cash send, but since then the excuses and stories have continued and even went as far as sending a bogus cash send on 4 May.

I thought I’d share my experience with this individual as a word of caution. A a very fast talker and very convincing.
