de*****ing and theft

pd Edwin for gate motor repairs in Jan16 after I logged a call for with a call centre in our area, Orange Grove. Edwin contacted us & arrived. insisted on a cash pmnt of R1400 he repaired the gate motor - it didn't last. <br> We contacted him & made arrangements & eventually gave up. Friday before Easter, the gate stopped working completely. it was a miracle - he answered his phone & arrived. again we were requested to pay upfront & this time I insist doing an EFT since we were still waiting for an invoice which a so called Mary was suppose to forward. this never happened. unfortunately, being desperate to get the gate fixed since the old motor could not be fixed again [which I now doubt & think its his signature approach to ***** one motor to fix another & take one persons money to buy for another etc. etc.] he unfortunately left with our money & since I said he could have the old motor - he arrived to do prep work with his welder and then took the old motor & that was the last time we saw him. he refused to provide us with an address to collect the new motor we paid for.<br> this means he stole R3400 from us & motor which was probably not broken at all - DONT USE THIS ****&THIEVE
