Placed there on 22 Jan 2012 by Stefan Mayer, no doubt, or at his request, by one of his contractors (who is hoping to be paid the many thousands of dollars Stefan owes). It has already got 22 responses and awaits yours as well. It is worth visiting the site.
Well it looks like we are finally getting the Government to take notice of our complaints against the fraudster Stefan Mayer. Two customers have filed Fraud reports against him with the NSW Police. After a few more Fraud Reports are lodged he will most likely be charged with the offence. If you were SCAMMED by him as Scullery & Holz trading as Bespoke Installations Pty Ltd or any of his other companies go to your nearest Police Station and lodge a Fraud Report against him. It is not difficult to do and the Police are quite understanding and helpful.
ReplyDeleteThe Fair Trade Act specifies that a deposit may not be more than 5% of the total price at the time of signing. Home Warranty Insurance is required to be issued at the time of signing the contract and taking the deposit if installation is being provided.
For the past many months all Stefan Mayer has been doing is getting customers to sign contracts and pay large deposits (often 50%). As he has no intention of keeping to the contact at the time it is signed this is FRAUD. He has signed contracts with customers as long ago as May 2011 and has not delivered the goods as yet. At least two customers have indicated that their kitchens were stripped out months ago,and that is all they have for the $27,500 and $19,000 paid to Stefan so far. He is probably not putting any of the money he gets into the business accounts, he has no showroom any more. What address did he quote on his contract with you? Once the contract is signed and the deposit paid Stefan Mayer becomes extremely difficult to contact. Customers then hear nothing at all except promises which are not kept, and apologies and excuses.
On 19 April 2011 (See The ASIC Gazette A031/11 page 22 of 47) notice was given the ASIC would deregister Bespoke Installations Pty Ltd ACN 103 540 978 (most probably because the annual registration fee had not been paid).
Stefan Mayer had been trading while insolvent in the other company(Scullery & Holz Interiors Pty Ltd) and as it was in a hopeless financial position he must have salvaged Bespoke which now appears to be his only registered company. All the others have 'gone to the wall'
SCULLERY & HOLZ INTERIORS PTY LTD ABN91 102 846 284 (IN LIQUIDATION SINCE 16 DEC 2011) This company had four CTTT judgements against it which were ignored and a few more CTTT cases still to be heard, when the Court ordered the company into liquidation on the petition of a customer owed $20,000.00 under one of those judgements.
SCULLERY & HOLZ SYDNEY PTY LTD ACN 097 947 843 Date Deregistered 24/01/2010
SCULLERY & HOLZ DESIGN PTY LTD ACN 109 968 470 Date Deregistered 28/11/2010
His most recent scam which was brought to notice is that an employee of his who worked for some fourteen years was told to find another job in December 2011. That employee has been defrauded of $50,000.00 in unpaid superannuation contributions plus six weeks pay.
How does this government allow companies to operate for years without accounting for employee superannuation contributions. And what about BAS statements and accounting for GST collected? One wonders if the Australian Taxation Department will ever look into Stefan Mayer's companies and their financial affairs.
Is this fraudster about to abscond? It has been stated on other sites that the family home in Pymble is on the market and they may be moving to Bali where they have a property.
If you have been SCAMMED by Stefan Mayer then act right away and contact the Dept of Fair Trade giving them all the information they require. Then file a Fraud Report at the nearest Police station.
