We ordered our camper in Nov 2009. We have heard all the same excuses and sob stories as the rest of you. We threatened legal action and eventually got the trailer, tent and kitchen. We are still waiting to get electric brakes, tool box and solar panels but Im not holding my breath. We were so excited when we ordered our trailer, but the whole experience has been one of stress and heartache. The trailer he supplied us with is nothing like the one we saw in his Williamstown factory. Its CRAP, and definitely not suitable for off road use. Its less than a couple of months old and its already starting to rust. I suppose at least we have got something, which is a lot more than what others seem to have got, but its not the point. We paid Scott our hard earned savings and have not got what we paid for.
Scott, if you read this, Im quite sure you know who I am. I am not going to let this go, and I will get what is still owed to us. I am a strong believer in karma and I honestly believe that one day you will get yours. I can't believe that I was STUPID enough to get involved with this conman in the first place. But what we saw at his Williamstown factory was a great product that was great value for money, and we liked the idea of supporting a local business.
I dont know how this lowlife mongrel keeps getting away with this. Surely what he is doing is fraud???
A local business in the area who knows of him told me he is still operating out of Riverside Ave, Werribee, and his business is called Riverside Campers. There is no advertising etc on the factory, but last time I checked there was definitely activity there (about 2 weeks ago).
Thanks for the messages, We need everyone that either hasn't had any delivery or only partial delivery. we still need a few more to come forward.
Wouldn't some of his actions be fraud or other criminal action? Try talking directly to the fraud squad, rather than your local police station.
Sometimes they seem reluctant to take on something that seems too hard, they may need a letter from your local member to get them moving.
The QLD police have referred me to the e-crime division and have filed a report which I am sending with a few other details to the VIC police. This is where it gets harder because the state police don't talk to each other. I have also contacted the Federal police as I was scammed online. They have given me numbers to contact if the state Police find it too hard. They also recommend that EVERYONE who has been scammed or ripped off by Scott Mackinnon or Graham Mackinnon to contact SCAMwatch home this is an ASIC website. This could all go away if these people answered phone calls and emails and also would not have arisen if they did what they were paid to do.
The local member is a great idea especially if you have reported it to police and haven't had any action yet.
Last chance boys, fix your wrong doings or come for the ride with us
We have NOT got our trailer or our money back. We bought ours on the 16th August 2009, maybe its getting delivered this September. Add us to the list.

If he shows intent to keep the money and not give the product then it is fraud.
That said, it should be reported to both the local police fraud squad and the AFP website.
Good luck!

Just to let those know whats happening at My end, if you read the post I made a little while ago ....Short story..
Bought a Camper trailer from Scott on Ebay, Paid in full, Never recieved it as it was always being repaired, Then finally was told that it will be repaired and in the mean time ill get my money back until such time.
Well Yesterday, 17/6/10 recieved a call from tyhe Werribee CIU about my Trailer. ?
Asking question about where I bought it, Price all that, then he asked where it was.
I said it should be at His Factory as its being repaired after the Electric brakes stuck on and busted the bearings, The Det Sgt then said it been ON SOLD to a gentleman in WA who unfortunatetly paid $15,000 to scott and by accounts its only a standard 7x4 trailer with nothing else, no tent, kitchen, just a bare trailer.
So anyway Ive been told that due to this with My trailer being onsold that they will be speaking with Scott today (17/6/10) about this as its become quite serious, THEFT and another matter as well.
I can now tell you all that SCOTT MACKINNON has been Charged with the On sell of my Camper Trailer but my bad news its at WA, will be hearing next week about making a statement and seeing pics on whats left and seeing about making a claim with my insurance.
So least some good news as he is Finally getting what he deserves, Stupid thing was, I never cancelled the reg on my trailer so straight away when he onsold it that became theft.
I am happy to recieve private Private Messages about this ...
