GUMTREE ********* - Disappeared with Deposit

I needed a fence put up around our house and found an add on GUMTREE for PERIMETER SECURITY SERVICES offering the services I was looking for.<br> <br> I contracted TIM SCHRONEN via the email service on Gumtree and later spoke with him using his cell number ***. <br> <br> Tim rep**** and we arranged an meeting for him to come and do a quotation on the 8th of August., The quotation stated he would be able to complete the work as requested in max 2 to 3 days. and would start after an 50% deposit was paid. <br> <br> After paying the deposit, he started on the 12th of August, by putting up the wooden poles.<br> After that it was the one excuse after the other and by the following week we could not longer get hold of him via his home or cell phone number. No wire, not gates, all we got was poor quality poles and super bad workmanship. The poles aren't even the same length or close to level.<br> <br> He disappeared with our deposit and we are unable to get hold of him. If contacted him via a different number he answers his cell and of course as soon as he hears who it is he puts the phone down.<br> <br> Please do not make use of his services, you will surely be disappointed or worst!
