    Well I don’t care at this point. Nice people don’t leave others hanging. It sound to me that he was living with “other people” so if something bad would have happened those people would have said: We are sorry to inform you... But so and so and this and that.

    But I am monitoring about 6 social networks 4 of them had hits on his name as it is. If there is activity I will make a noise. But I wouldn’t hold my breath.

    He mentioned to me that he never uses him name on anything and the last time I heard he was living in Evans Park, Jhb. I don't know how true that is.

    He is not ill. I called him a couple of times from a private number and he takes my calls but as soon as he hears my voice he disconnects and switches the phone off. He is obviousily hiding. If you guys have a look at some of the threads posted here, you will see that he has read them. He had also told me that he is in partnership with sterne.law@gmail.com. I'm not sure who this is.

    I would really like to find him and get my money back but I have limited means. I don't know how to do it. I don't have a PC at home. I go the internet cafes.

    If there is someone out there that is willing to help me please contact me. I would be very greatfull.

    That would be Anthony Sterne, and final proof that Shaun is full of BS.

    I have never had any business association with Shaun Higley AKA BBBEE Specialist. I have corresponded via private message in his early days, but never discussed or entered any arrangement or talks with regards to a partneship or association. This correspondence was in the course of 1 day. I discontinued any private correspondence thereafter, as I had misgivings about his legal arguments, that were serious errors, rather than different viewpoints on a point of law.

    Question

    The realy intriguing part for me is this - He seemed very good at getting across the web and making a sales pitch, all that is missing is the product, that beng the infamous disc, which has set Dave, and others, back a few hundred bob. Yet, he had an abundance of material, admittedly, in my opinion, not of origin from his pen and/or mind. However, putting a disc together with relevant info would be fairly easy, anyone with access to the internet, and time, would be able to compile a fairly comprehensible set of tools, that could be sold. Making a sale of a disc, even if not of standard, and being able to get clients, would make a fairly easy money making business.

    It's certainly added a new dimension on doing business via the internet for me. Traceability, the assurance of a physical presence becomes a relevant factor.

    Which is a pity really. What seemed so great about online was the portability, the lack of premises related overheads, the fact that the small guy could compete with the big operations.

    I think your statement is a reaction to being burned although you say you were suspicious already before paying your money.

    Physical presence isn't going to make a difference nor traceability. There's thousands of businesses each year just fold and the owner emigrates with everything he can grab. Add this to the genuine bankruptcies and even high street shops disappearing overnight and you're no safer with a 'physical presence'.

    By all means be suspicious. Look for tell tale signs whether it be insistence on cash or no contact details except a gmail address to name but two. Most important is to always insist on references or even a copy of his ID which you can check. In this case you could have asked for half a dozen satisfied customers details, even if you only check one or two of them for validity.

    No matter how suspicious and careful you are the chances are that one day you'll run into a conman who's that good and you'll come short. You can blame it on the internet but this problem is as old as the human race itself.

    Sorry Dave, I might sound a bit harsh and I really don't mean to. I take comfort in that I suspect your comments were engineered to provoke debate. I genuinely sympathize with the financial loss you suffered and especially Rchetty247 who can ill afford it.
