Thread: Has anyone else lost money to Mohamed Abdo swayonthemoon, cairodance

Myself and three other dancers I know have lost our money to Mohamed Abdo. He is advertising all over face book by befriending dancers and then posting his advertisement. We sent money in September. He says he sent them but nothing arrived. When we asked for our money back he said he would send again. I asked so many times for a traking number or even an address and phone number of the shipping office so that I could ring and get a tracking number. We even offered for a friend who is a well known dancer who was in Cairo, to pick up the costumes or to even help him get the tracking number or help him scan a receipt to send to me!!! We finally demanded our money back again and then he said that the costumes 'miraculously' were found at his post office. I said send them but give me the tracking number and scan of receipt immediately or else return our money. No reply since. He now has three websites.
We recently found out that the photos on his websites are Hanan Mahmoud's costumes.

Welcome

Never mind, found him on fb. Thanks for posting about this problem. I'm sorry this happened to you. I think everyone should send him an email stating what a fraud he is.

Thanks Jasani,
Well I don't know what he's up to for sure although it's not looking good but if he carries on like this, even if it's just a few of us, he's going to ruin his reputation (if he has one). I just think waiting 5 months after paying so much money is ridiculous. Any normal person in business would return someone's money if they were incapable of sending the product for some reason. I'd love to hear if others have had issues with him.

I'm sure there's another thread about this problem. Same vendor. I remember... But I can't find it...

So sorry you went through this. Thank you for the heads up, though, you've probably saved at least one person from the same fate.

Yes there is another thread but I wanted to start one with more of his names in it so it would show up on Google (which it now does) if anyone googled him. Yes I hope it does save others from loosing money in the same way.
