Global Technology Corporation Pty Limited., Reviews
Jul 4, 2014
Smarthome.com.au sell Z-Wave Home Automation products, Foscam IP Cameras and other technology items.
They are a Melboune based online company run by Frans De Greef and his wife Carly De Greef. Their former company that has been delisted is Smarthome Australasia Pty Ltd, their new company is Global Technology Corporation Pty Ltd. Note this has NOTHING to do with the businesses Smarthome.com or Smarthome Australia Pty Ltd.
After having spent thousands on automation products from their company and having to wait 6+ months the the order to trickle through bit-by-bit, the company closed without notice to any customers. I personally had approximately $500 worth of products owning that I could not be credited for by my credit card company as the duration of the delivery dragged out over too long. I have been in contact with 4 other people online who have lost between $88 to just over $1000 each, and the more I look, the more individuals I can see online via forums that have have paid them and not had products delivered.
Frans De Greef closed Smarthome Australasia Pty Ltd (trading on the website Smarthome.com.au) on April 2nd, 2014 with no more than a sign on their shopfront door (keeping in mind this is an online-bsed company) and the removal of their website. No email correspondance was provided or responded to, and no phone calls were answered or messages returned.
In late May 2014, the same website with a different format has with Carly De Greef listed as the website owner on WHOIS and the Director as per an Australian Securities and Investment Commission record search.
Beware, Frans De Greef and Carly De Greef who operate Smarthome.com.au cannot be relied upon to deliver products once they have recieved their money.
These are the individuals you should be aware of:
