After several phone calls offering a free solar power installation a man named Steve Williams came over on the 4 November to discuss the offer. He explained that our home would be used as a display home and we would only have to pay a $900 refundable ($ 150 per month refunded over 6 months) deposit to ensure we displayed the advertising sign for 6 months. We payed the deposit and since then have received a series of text messages postponing the installation due to weather etc. After paying the deposit I check out the website.
We then received $25 as a show of "good will" while we waited for a new installation date. The date had been postponed several times. Last week we received a text message including an installation date and saying there was a letter coming from the company offering a refund if we did not want to proceed anymore. We are still waiting for the letter... Today we received a text message saying the the installation date set is still on track. Do not respond to this text message. No mention of the refund letter.
We are interested in taking this further to ensure that all those who have been ripped off receive their refund. We are currently looking into alternative ways of contacting this man. If we can help anyone in any way to gather more evidence of this scam please let us know.
