Aaron Freeland states that he operates a company that does office fitouts as well as supplying office furniture.
The problem is that the furniture never gets delivered and we are down $8000 to this con artist.
He seemed legit from the atart and we went to view an office that he supposedly fitted out with similar furniture.
We selected what we needed and as we did not need the furniture until we moved to new premises paid a 70% deposit. A while later he contacted us and asked if he could get the remainder of the payment in advance, which would really help him out (which we paid as the furniture was supposedly in storage).
When we moved to the new premises we contacted Aaron about the furniture and all seemed OK but there were a few delays. Well one delay became another delay and another excuse. We Even offered to provide the truck transport and labour to pick up the furniture and dleiver to us. which was all good, but what do you know, delays excuses etc and no furniture.
Just noticed today that he has cancelled his business registration (not sure if he has more or not)
He comes across as professional initially then excuses delays lies
Sorry to admit it but he fooled me and I have been conned fby a fraudster
Here are some emails form him to give you an idea:
Andrew,
I am writing this email to formally apologise for not being able to make it to site this week.
I need you both to clarify that I can install Monday and Tuesday next week. The install will only take 1.5 days and delivery half a day. I will load Sunday so there is no further delay.
There are a number of combining factors that have impacted my ability to complete this. I don't want to go into to much detail of a recent personal event but it has impacted me considerably. Given that I was to install these workstations last October and have covered all the storage costs of this stock since then at no cost to you I ask that we work together to get this done.
There is nothing untoward going on. I am a professional operater. I just have a lot on my plate at the moment that needs my attention. I hope that you can respect my situation and circumstances. I just wanted to articulate this in writing rather a phone conversation so that both parties are protected.
I don't like stuffing clients around. Its not the way I do business and with your support I will turn this around for you.
Regards
Aaron
Andrew,
I will ensure that workstations are delivered by Wednesday.
I am happy to stay back after hours until completed.
My mum is arranging funds today and tomorrow as I need roughly 2k to cover truck, labour and dealing with the left over stock.
I have handled this poorly but I am relieved that I have finally been honest and open about my situation.
Just so you know why it will be Wednesday is that I have Marketing Consultancy client that I work Monday/Friday and Tuesdays which commence this week.
My word doesn't count for much now but you will get your stock next Wednesday and will ensure that the I worl closely to make the fitout a success and to your expectations.
I am extremely embarrassed by my current situation and beg you to give me until Wednsday before you commence any proceedings.
Regards
Aaron
Andrew,
I don't know what to do.
I have your stock. My mum hasn't come good with loan so I am basically stuffed until I get money in from power banks.
I am extremely embarrassed and just at a wits end about how to resolve this in an efficient manner.
I obviously cant afford to pay back the $6k straight away either and I don't want you to be anymore out of pocket than you are.
I am not sure how much longer you can give me to come good with your purchase.
please have a think about it and let me know
Andrew,
I am not lying regarding my inability to deliver the furniture and my financial situation.
I understand your frustration and disappointment with the entire process.
I 100% have your stock I am not a fraud and want to complete this project.
I have fallen on tough times as discussed in our meeting a fortnight ago and have been trying to come up with ways to complete this project.
My mother unfortunately due to her impending retirement cannot support me as intended.
My suggestion is that I price up the costs of load delivery and installation and work out an arrangement with you to pay back the costs.
We will need a truck for 2-3 days.
We will need to cover labour or provide assistance for the unload and installation process.
I will be in a position to start on Monday and will make myself available to complete on Tuesday and Wednesday.
What ever the costs come to I am happy to sign a document that requires me to pay back each week a certain figure.
This will be cheaper for both parties and also a quicker solution.
The truck can be hired on a credit card and will need one assistant to help me load the trucks (say $200/day x 2days)
Let me know your thoughts. I do not want to go to court or go down a legal process hopefully we can make it work like this.

Andrew,
Sorry my phone has been dead since yesterday.
This is how we will work it.
Friday at 10am have your driver meet me at 4 Dunoon St, in Doncaster. I have screens and components stored in a shed there. Its my old residence. From there we will rive to Mitcham where I have some desktops in storage. From there we will drive to Airport West where my containers are and by the time we get there they will be down and ready to load.
This is 100% locked in finally. ill chat to you tomorrow to confirm all arrangements.
I have no phone credit at present but will recharge shortly
