Dear Sir/Madam I was looking for employment for myself and my husband and came across an advert for agents on cruiseliners. I applied and found that my husband and I were invited to an interview. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the employment they were offering required that we pay them R2000 plus we have to pay for our tickets to Miami, and then we are not even sure that we will have a job. I have it all in e-mail form. Better hurry to catch these bugs. They are interviewing a lot of people on Thursday, 7th May 2009, here... read full review »

I purchased a MADINA LOUNGE SUITE from Russells Ladybrand in December 2008. I reported this matter in February 2009 and was told the lounge would be collected for repairs, that was done and instead it was badly damaged rather than to be repaired. Now I want to exchange this suite and I am being told I was supposed to have reported this within 7 days but in th econtract there is no clause that says such. Please help me deal with this because I don't want this lounge suite anymore.. read full review »

Pixel Magic systems introduced the high definition product MB100 (media box). Initial support and feedback was good as the product had some software bugs but in a short space of time thereafter, they became extremely quite. I've personally logged complaints on the forum and sent emails to their HQ - all being ignored. Whilst this company still sells other products, their ethics are shocking as they have taken peoples money and literally are just leaving everyone in the dark. These guys need to come to the party or they should be marketed... read full review »

I discovered my rental deposit not being returned tome from the Owner(he was holding the deposit), only 6 months after we moved out of the house, due to the agent keeping quiet that she had not had the deposit returned to use a deposit on the next place we rented.

Therefore the agent kept quiet about this for 6 months until I brought it up with... read full review »
