Ripley1313 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hi everyone, Not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question, but has anyone dealt with the above supplier? I tried researching them and even had a look at Google maps and Google Earth, with no success. They are based in Ethekweni, KZN. Appreciate your feedback.

SolarDIY Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 This domain was only registered in May. To be safe i would suggest if you are in the KZN area then rather take a drive to their premises and check it out to be on the safe side before conducting any online business. They could be a legitimate business but rather err on the side of caution. WannabeSolarSparky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No landline, nothing just a mobile number and website. This should be cash and carry only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley1313 Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Thanks for the replies. If someone is in the Ethikweni area, maybe do a drive by? Would be interesting, as their prices are borderline "magical" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosh - Quantum Solar Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I do not believe in Magic - So I would stay clear of this - The prices advertised could only be possible if the goods are stolen, goods do not exist and you will pay money and get nothing, or you get something that is not what you expect.

Roy - Tecron Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I see they have our products listed - We have never had dealings with them ever and they don't have an account with us. I called the number on their website and explained that they are listing our products and they are not an authorized reseller. The lady just hung up the phone. Seems like a scam to me. zsde 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R16K is not pocket change... -GT- Edited July 31, 2023 by -GT- more details added ZaydS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley1313 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Hi there, I am truly sorry this happened to you. I really hope you get your money back. Since I asked the question right in the beginning, I bought Google Earth Pro and use that to actually look at every "potential" supplier. If anything looks out of whack, I pass and move to next supplier. All the best to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripley1313 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Hi Christiaan, You should not have made a payment, before someone could do a physical drive-by. Everyone on this forum that I spoke to feels that Atom are scammers. I have had no response from them, from the day I posted my question on this forum. I truly hope they are legit and just VERY bad at communicating....... for your sake! Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 These people are definitely scammers. We were scammed of R18000. Please do not do business with them. Once they have your money, the courier that they use... aamco logistics, will send you a message insisting that you must pay R10000 refundable deposit for the insurance to courier the items. They are rogues and you will never smell your money or the products ordered. Please be careful and don't fall prey to these scammers.

Zweli Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Always Google the name of the company and add the word "reviews" e.g. "Atom Distributors Reviews" or "Atom Distributors + hellopeter" ... Retail Energy is another scam company too. Luckily I did my research before shelling out my money. Edited October 23, 2023 by Zweli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Jones Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 We ordered a 5kw Kodak battery from them, did the eft for R32000-00 and never heard from them again. They dont answer phone calls as the number is engaged. I then requested another quote from another email and they quoted within 5 minutes. I then asked them where my battery was i paid for two weeks earlier and never heard from them again. ATOM SOLAR DISTRIBUTORS ARE THIEVES.
