Now, don't expect them to actually do much research - be prepared to hand them a story on a platter
(Please excuse my media cynicism)

Nailed it MS !
firstly, ...nothing shouts louder than the media.(use this to your advantage)
secondly.....the media likes nothing better than a well worded press release dropped straight in their lap. ( short, sweet, 3 second grabs from a whole bunch of people who have been ripped off) DRAMA, a dodgy salesman they can chase down the street,
I get the feeling that this is all that is left available to you folks.
surprisingly enough, it can often end in a desired result.(particularly when their house is on the line)
good luck everyone involved.

He needs to be shown for the scum that he is, so hopefully he can not start up somewhere else and do it to more innocent people...

You must have mine, Scott promised mine was leaving with a 'Bill' on the 16th of Dec. We live in Brisbane.....he never did ring me back with bills number though...

I think that everyone that has recieved a trailer has recieved someone elses trailer..
As the story is that if you walk in with CASH he will selll you the trailer that is in the workshop weather it is going to Townsville or Brisbane, that is why it takes so long for people to get there trailers.. ALL us silly people that took him for an honest bloke and paid in full are suffering as a result as he already has our moneyand does not give a s**t, so he gives our trailers to people that walk in with cash, if you get my drift..
Nothing but a lying con man..

Hey good stuff... where's everyone else thats complaining...STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND LETS ALL ROAR... DONT JUST BITCH and sit back AND WHINGE... THAT AINT GOOD ENOUGH...
if you mean what you say... DO IT - AT WHAT EVER COST.. WE HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.... not one for being ripped off...JUST DO IT
ps.. NEED CONTACT NUMBERS TO DO SO...i FEEL LIKE I STARTED THIS, AND IM QUITE HAPPY TO FINISH IT... nothings over till the fat lady sings..( and I aint fat )

You'd all be better off checking with VCAT and seeing what action you can bring against him via small claims - this is a cheap ($40 if your claim is under $10k) lawyer-less process, and at the end of the day you have an enforceable undertaking against him, so you can at least cause him some minor inconvenience.

Thanks for your Post MS, all info is muchly appreciated.. Thanks again

Has anyone else had a phone call from our mate Scott today???

[beaver00]

Just a warning to all that have recieved their trailers and also to those who will hopefully recieve them in the near furture.. Check you wheel Nuts and Wheel Bearings are done up properly and they have grease in them. Ours were loose and lucky enough we checked as the tyre may have fallen off or badly damaged the bearings during travelling..
Just go over them with a fine tooth comb and make sure all is done up properly..

just a question has any one gone to his workshop and demanded on the spot a trailer or a cash refund.

if i was involved in this i would just go and sit there with a couple of "large friends" he must have some cash hidden away, bad luck if he has to take it out of his own bank account.

Hi all,
We to have been conned, lied to and manipulated by this man to. Unfortunatley for us we paid up front the full amount for our trailer back in september this year. As we live in the Pilbara region of WA we were promised and organised to pick up our trailer in perth on the 30th Nov. After several attempts through phone calls and emails, after lots of emails and text messages between us and Scott we were promised that it would be there next week. Nope didnt happen.
He agreed to give us our money back as we were travelling to NSW for Xmas and he would get it to us in time. Organised a payment scheme for him.............NO MONEY
Reckons he put the money in the bank ....took him two weeks to chase it up ,,,surprise surprise he put it in the wrong bank account.

We ended up having to stay in hotel that were 3 x dearer than the camp sites we had booked to get over to NSW. He was still ringin us right up to the night before Xmas eve "yep mate definatley put money in the bank"......
Surprise surprise rings my husband on Xma eve and tells him that he hasnt put money in the bank .......doesnt have it and wont have it until after 4th Jan 2010.

The fact that we have lost our money and have no trailer is bad enough but what really ##### us is that our family has had to miss out on things during our family holiday because this slimy man has kept our money and lied to us. that sucks

As an aussie you try to do the right thing and buy australian made and support small aussies businesses........and this is what we get in response to that support

I have never met a man who has so many excuses, lies and stories to tell. We to were told about the break in but i wonder if it is just not someone like the rest of us who are peeved taking the equivalent of what is owed to them in tools and other things etc.

We have now engaged a legal firm to get our money back and make this little man be responsible for his actions. Scott is very careful in what he writes in response to our emails ( if he answers them) however he has led several messages on my husbands phone stating that he has lied to us from the start.

We to will be contacting the media to let them know what he is doing. I am happy to join in any group approach to the media.
