**** Companies

would like to share my experience of being ****med by a company called megapoultry that is based at western cape. This company claims to be selling eggs and live çhickens,everything looks real about this company and they even have a website:www.megapoultry.co.za When I first started speaking to this people it was on a Saturday, I spoke to them through watsapp as they suggested its quicker and easier to communicate on. I then placed an order of 20 boxes of eggs were by each box was costing R195 so the total of my order was R3900 plus courier of R680 making a total of R4580 then they told me about the payment arrangements were I was told to pay 50% upfront then the remaining 50% I pay on delivery of my order when I have confirmed everything. It never came to my mind that this people might be ****** because I checked everything about them and they seemed legit,so they sent me the banking details as follows : Bank name :Nedbank Limited Holder name:Vuyolethu mega poultry Account number: ********** 665 Branch code:173310 Reference: ********** 665 I then deposited R2300 as my deposit though when I deposited it gave me Nogwanya v as account holder but i never suspected anything about them. They then told me I will recieve my order on Sunday ,then on Sunday they changed and said they made a mistake I will get my order on Monday because Sunday the company is closed,I understood that one . Monday morning they told me that my pickup has been done and the courier guys will call me with tracking information,I waited for the courier guys and they didnt call or email me anything about my shipment .they sent me an invoice of my order though I ddnt understand it well but because on the invoice they didnt state that I paid 50% deposit they just wrote the total amount of my order,I didnt take it to mind as well because they quickly mentioned that they made a mistake and they will correct it. Before 12 during the day they forwarded me an email that was supposed to be sent by the courier guys regarding the shipment and tracking number and the massage that was forwarded to me stated that from the courier I must deposit money for insurance of the eggs and this money is 100%refundable on delivery if my order arrived in a good manner,the insurance amount was R1080 . Now the one that I ordered from suggested that I deposit this money from the same account I used to deposit my 50%of stock,suggesting also pay the remaining balance,I told them that I will deposit the insurance money only and the rest I will deposit as we agreed on and that is on delivery ,they said it's fine. I deposited the R1080 into the same account and send them proof of payment,after some minutes they told me that my shipment has taken off that was around 14:30pm so I was expecting my order to arrv Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday around 12:30 I checked with them as it bothered me that why are they so quiet,because on the morning I tried to call the courier guys to check how far were they but they never picked up my calls. I then asked the ones from the farm to play check the courier guys for me and said ok they will and they never came back to me ,now I started to get worried as I kept on trying to call this people and they are not answering and they ended up blocking me on watsapp. Wednesday morning they unblocked new and send a whatsapp that was saying they apologize for the delay but the courier guys had a breakdown and Mr marco, whom I don't know sent some engineers and I will get my order as soon as they finish fixing the car. I asked them to send me contacts that I can surely speak to courier guys ,they them said the courier guys don't like talking on the phone when driving they will call me as they approach my area. I tried speaking to them but they were not responding and they blocked me whatsapp again and from there I knew that this was a ****. They ****med me for R3380.
