The domain is 3 years old, and they look legit but ... They only accept eft payments on the website. (This never ends well unfortunately legit companies offer Payfast etc.) Domain is registered with Hostafrica, they are basically scammer paradise for people scamming with za domains. Address looks like a house and everything else points to a one man show. Its not worth it to order from them if they accepted Payfast then you could of considered. Best would be to go with a reputable supplier that is a company and has a presence. Looks like they do CCTV as well pmbcctv.co.za Yeah I wouldn't use them too be honest Jack of all trades ...

Part of the allforsolar.com bunch yes.

Thank you for this in depth reply this is appreciated. Co.za replied back to say that not enough evidence was provided and they have to un-suspended these 2 domains even though we gave them pages of victims, police case numbers etc. They did mention yesterday that they are investigating this again now and will revert back soon. These truly are very special people I have seen cases where they scam people and then threaten them as well. From what I have seen our warnings on this group definitely helps as these people advertise so hard everywhere, basically everyday also. Hostafrica took down the following 2 domains: https://glosolarsa.co.za https://glotechenergy.com https://globaltechsolarenergy.co.za/ This is a exact clone of the above 2 but they refuse to take it down and saying we do not have proof that its the same scammer, even though the ads on google shows the exact name, same whois, same template everything exactly the same Once again if you got scammed by any of these website please open a police case and report to your bank.

Just an update on this post thank you Hostafrica for taking down the 2 Glo Solar websites both are not working and co.za domain authority for taking down the other 2 this is greatly appreciated. If you get scammed or were scammed please remember to make a Police Case and report to your bank it might not feel like its worth it but I can assure you it is and essentially we will win the fight against these scammers. Another website up by these glo solar people: https://globaltechsolarenergy.co.za/ Global Tech Solar Energy is a scam.

New Websites up Premier Solar Solutions is a scam: www.premiersolarsolution.co.za Alpha Solar Equipment is a scam www.alphasolarequipments.co.za Glo Solar is a scam https://glosolarsa.co.za Glo Tech Energy is a scam https://glotechenergy.com CCMU Trading SA is a scam https://ccmutradingsa.co.za/ Solar Power Kits is a scam www.solarpowerkits.co.za

Welcome to the forum, please make sure to buy from only reputable companies or deal with an installer that you can pay on completion. The solar industry in South Africa is completely run over with scams.

I see the website is up now and still with SA Domain if you got scammed by these people please email [email protected] or Alternatively log a takedown request with ISPA and select SA Domain as well. Amazing how co.za themself ignore all emails about these people and continue to let them operate its going for 2 years now.

Just an update on this post they have changed domains to www.phaseenergy.co.za Phase Energy is a scam please stay away. It's the same people behind this as well: https://powerforum.co.za/topic/33310-another-website-to-stay-far-away-from

New Website up https://getyoursolarpower.com Get your solar power is a scam they are not a legit business and will steal your money. Please stay away! Another website up: https://www.phaseenergy.co.za Phase Energy is a scam.

This is a scam same people behind this post also (They are mentioned here as well) https://powerforum.co.za/topic/33310-another-website-to-stay-far-away-from/

Make sure to use a reputable company so much online fraud in Solar at the moment its honestly scary. Double check references and preferably only pay when they done with the installation.

It is yeah and they create a new website every 2 to 3 weeks as well and just close off the old ones. How they are not arrested and jailed I honestly don't know.

Another website up by this Bradley character https://zenvosolar.com/ Stay clear you will lose your money. If you got scammed please open a case with the SAPS and report to your bank.

Exact same products as these websites: https://powerforum.co.za/topic/33310-another-website-to-stay-far-away-from/ Exact same people behind it as well same contact number and payment methods. This is definitely a scam.

I see they have moved this domain to SA Domain now please could everyone that was scammed by them email: [email protected] Alternatively log a takedown request with ISPA and select SA Domain as well. Hopefully we can get this domain down again now.

Just sent you a message now.

It is a legit website, yes can only see this, though they might have been very busy, or the communication side is lacking

Just make sure about the domain name, cause these scammers sometimes use a name that sounds very similar or looks similar.

If its this one they are legit yes

New site up: https://www.mahalaenergy.co.za Mahala Energy is a scam. Please don't pay any money to these people; you will lose it, Somehow these scammers even accept cards now through Yoco

They constantly create more websites. Sadly, the person behind this, Bradley Mbifi, is linked to 41 of these sites that we are aware of. See this post for more info: https://powerforum.co.za/topic/33310-another-website-to-stay-far-away-from/ They have a new site up its https://www.mahalaenergy.co.za Mahale Energy is a scam

A new website to add to the list: https://inspiregreen.co.za/product/gentech-6kva-digital-inverter-generator/ Inspire Green is a scam please do not purchase from them.

Infinity is down again. At least we were busy earlier this week with ISPA, and they advised Afrihost took it down for the second time now. It seems to be an endless battle with these scammers as they just come out of new holes every week again.

All the info I have regarding Bradley at the moment is that he is a Zambian staying in South Africa and running all these. We provided SAPS with 7 numbers he has or had but they can't seem to do anything with it.

The exact same people are behind this as well. Can see from the earlier websites links I posted the products are exactly the same
