archi Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Does any body know Jeremy Gower who trades as Thomas Crown (based in Dorset) as I bought a lovely cap off him before Christmas via his charity page Caps on Cancer where £10 goes to a cancer charity. Anyway being suitably impressed I thought I would like a bespoke pair of plus 4 to match and he was quick to respond with £50 going to charity. Being a trusting sole I paid by bank transfer as the card machine was down and these were despatched last Tuesday or so I am told as they haven’t arrived and neither has the promised email link so I can track the delivery. Since last Friday I have emailed, phones, left voicemails , texted him, messsaged him via messenger with not one reply. Call me a cynic but I think I’ve been scammed on this one so be careful. If anybody does know him them please ask him to email me the email tracking link that he promised last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 He lives close to me. Never met him though. Seems to get a lot of good press and wouldn’t think anyone would diddle someone over some breeks but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Might be catching up still after the New Year if he had a lot of orders over the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archi Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Well that’s what hope but when the calls don’t get answered and promises not kept what else can one think. i hope I am wrong but think the £285 has gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 He’s got a fb Page so could be worth asking him there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archi Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Tried fb with no luck but have since had a text apologising and say there was an issue with RM so hopefully all should arrive tomorrow and panic over. it was really the lack of returning calls that got me worried.

dodeer Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 “The art of good business is to be a good middle man” I am running a sole trader business and half my day is emails and messages as customers are a Weary bunch and like to be kept in the know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WISLON Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 I paid £35 for a cap last November and have yet to receive it. I had already bought one successfully albeit I needed to do a bit of chasing and found he’s a hard man to track down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirokuMK70 Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Have you considered that he or someone close to him might be ill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had my issues he had been out if the country a lot with none or very little email access. he did come good so you may well have to chase him again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenshank1 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 The guy is a total Chancer . Do not buy anything from him as you will be lucky to see it. He cannot be trusted !! I lost my aunt last year to cancer so thought I would buy a cap for fishing and put some money back to cancer charity. Thats was last August , have sent countless emails , left countless voice messages , messaged him on Instagram, messaged his friends on Instagram, then the Caps on Cancer web page was taken down . Found another email for him about 2 months ago and hassled him again and he actually replied , all apologetic and said he would make it and have it in the post the next day . I still haven't had the cap or my money back and haven't heard a thing back from him. As I said he is a total chancer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
