The more reports the better the chance Google will react. Those who lost money should approached Carte Blanche, juicy one for them. Seems that's only applicable on paid/promoted google ads. We should have a pinned fraudulent sites post.
November 28, 20223 yr Hi i am sure that solar-origin.co.za is a scam site. Their VAT number is invalid as per the SARS search. How does one go about taking then down, I almost paid R65k for batteries.

November 28, 20223 yr Good day everybody So it has come to my attention that someone is scamming people using my company name JP Sonkrag. The website www.jpsolarsupplies.co.za is a fraudulent website and we are NOT affiliated with it. Our site is not yet built as i only reserved the name. We only have an Instagram & Facebook at the moment
November 29, 20223 yr Another update on this company: I did a search on the company registration number on their quote and the result is attached!
November 29, 20223 yr I also send an email to: [email protected] Anybody know if this will yield any results?
November 29, 20223 yr Here's another web site highlighting these scammers: https://mygqeberha.com/i-smell-a-solar-rat/
November 29, 20223 yr I see that, all the same findings. Is there a way to bring this to the attention of the broader solar public before these guys scam any more people?
November 29, 20223 yr Having the same problem with the following sites : Megawatt-solar, Solar Genesis and Solar Trade sales.
November 29, 20223 yr Good day Everyone. My name is Joy and i am a co-owner of JP Sonkrag. We unfortunately are not the owners of the website jpsolarsupplies. They have used our name and a domain with a name similar to ours. Our webpage is still under development. My sincerest apologies to anyone who has been scammed. We only currently have an Instagram & Facebook page. I have done an affidavit to that effect 😪

Pricing is competitive and the site has good customer feedback. Any steer would much appreciate. On 2022/11/09 at 1:28 PM, zsde said: Even a warehouse operation like Inverter-Warehouse allows me to go there, get what I want (if they have it) and pay right there. Too many out there that brag about their warehouses in different locations with no provisioning to get the product and pay them. 🤨 Whilst on the subject of dubious (questionable) traders, has anyone actually bought from one of these two outlets? https://solartradesales.co.za/ https://phase-energy.co.za/ Good day everybody So it has come to my attention that someone is scamming people using my company name JP Sonkrag.

November 30, 20223 yr I have logged a complaint but the issue is that their domain name is not my name; they just use my name on their page. Also since they have used Thyme bank it requires an ID number only to open account; so they could have used a random ID number

December 7, 20223 yr WARNING: avoid solarbay, hellosolar, sunsmart, heatsmart I lost R90,000 with solarbay - see solar-bay.co.za for public service announcement.

Anyone have any further info or dealt with them? https://techinnovations.co.za/ This website is run by Technological Innovations Solar sole trader based in South Africa trading as Techinnovations and with registration number 7910255983085 and Kenneth Mashifana Makunyane Owner(s)).

Registration number checks out, but their online pricing is higher than other trusted sites, so not sure what their deal would be.
