I'm at the point where I will do almost anything to get a result. I'm in for going to the media....BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that you are another victim.
If you can fill your info through the A Current Affair Website that would be great. The more people and complaints that A Current Affair recieve the more likely they are to do a story..

PS... thanks for the other link of which i know about. Theres a lot of unhappy people on there as well.
Bad enough following this forum let alone another one!!!!

Multiple phone calls like most however I must have got them at the right moment. He actually transferred the money in two goes as well while I waited on the phone.

There is a saying in sales that the next person to speak loses. Long gaps of silence when you are not happy can work as the other person thinks they need to say something or do something.

Any communication should now be return of money, nothing else. Advise calmly that you know all his details from his business registration and will not stop to get your money back.

I would also arrange your own courier to collect the item. I was told that mine was 'just' put on the courier truck however the courier company specified didnt deliver to the sth island......

Good luck!

Good luck.

If you are going to do it. Do it ASAP.

I had a mate drop by the Williamstown location today to try and pick up a compliance plate/vin for me today but the place was shut up. Also despite about 100 attemps I couldnt get our mate Scott to answer today. Yesterday he answered the phone to me and sent me a VIN number but it had too many characters and was useless. Anyone know what is going on with Scott/ the shop at the moment?

My guess is they have done a runner!
You must all get together now and pursue some action.
All those who were holding back, not wanting to rock the boat, in the hope their camper might arrive, should get on to the media now to track down where they are and pressure them for answers for rectifying their problem.

Got onto Scott late yesterday afternoon.
He told us that he has closed the doors and is seeing a solicitor.
Will post again once I have more information.

He also was trading under another name on Ebay, and last night he cancelled all his bids. The reason that was listed was "trailer not available anymore".
Hopefully he has come to the realisation that you cant rip people off and get away with it..
I dont believe anything that he says until I either see it with my own eyes or it is confirmed.

We to have been ripped off by Scott.We have been to see him given a cheque which bounced went to see him again numerous promises but no money.Been interviewed by ACA sent a complaint to Consumer Affairs Victoria and also informed our solicitor.He owes us $7120 but It will be a miracle if we see it so ring ACA and give him what he deserves

We are in same situation as well . We paid in full back in September and still no trailer ! I am onto dept. fair trading for more advise . But as you say i will keep persisting with the phone calls

My sympathies. What a croc :((
