Lufonohandymanservices / Pool Services

Lufunohandymanservices/pool services. Received a quote from the company after providing all the necessary info to repair my pool. cost of material was R7613 which I paid upfront to him. He came out to do work and then advised he needed to re quote. the re-quote was R44k which was way out of my budget. I told him so and he said ok he will refund my money after returning the materials to the supplier. He kept on advising he is awaiting the pool store management. After a week when i advised him i do not want any more excuses and he needs to pay me. He stopped responding to my WhatsApp and did not take any of my calls. He has the nerve to read my messages but not reply. Its been three weeks now and still no response from him. DO NOT TRUST HIM. HE HAS TAKEN ME FOR A RIDE FOR R7613. I will be engaging with the small claims court to recover my funds.
