After reading a couple of people dissing certain computer retailers, i thought i'd put in my 10 cents too, since it seems like these's a lot of them around, and they dont deserve business.
After Doing Business With a guy, And Him Disappearing With My $$$, I Figured I'd Let The World Know To Avoid Him. Here's The Story (i know it happened a long time ago, but the guy is certainly probably around...):
If You Live In Pretoria, And Looking For Good Deals On Pc's, Avoid This Company And The Guy At All Costs...
July 2 Years Ago (2004!!!) He (garhard Swart) Disappeared With Hardware Worth R1200 Of Mine To Be Exchanged (he Ordered The Wrong Stuff). I Tried To Call Him Numerous Times, But No Answer. Eventually It Seemed Like His Cell Got Disconnected. Time (months!!!) Passed.
I Never Saw Him Again (more Than A Year!!!) Till Last Week In Menlyn. When He Saw Me I Could Tell He Remembered Me. I Immediately Went Up To Him And Asked What The Hell Was Up, Since He Owed Me....he Played The "i Dunno What You're Talking About" Game, But I Quickly Reminded Him...he Gave Me His New Nr And Told Me To Phone Him The Next Day & We'll Make A Plan... Upon Phoning Him He Told Me That The Company Has Been Thru Tough Times And Such Crap....i Went To The Police With A Case Of Theft...upon Investigating They Found That He Has Apparently Moved...not Making Matters Easier....
Just A Warning...gerhard Swart Is A Con Artist!! Thief!!!!
Avoid Doing Business With Him!!!!
Ps: His Company Also Goes By (or Used To) The Name Of Cks or Computer King Solutions
