Hi
folks! A recent comment by "PDQ" below my January post, prompted this update - a little background first:
In
2010 we paid Viking Marine a $4000 US deposit for a boat lift - it is now more than 3 years later
and we still don't have
the lift or our money back....
In
2012 the Canadian Ministry of Consumer Services
established there were numerous others in the same predicament. They subsequently laid
charges against Bo Moller, owner of Viking Marine International.
In 2013 as a result of the above charges, Bo
appeared in court earlier this year - he retained the services of a lawyer, and the matter goes to trial later this year!
On Aug 5 PDQ Group commented "Odd, I did as you said, followed the link and typed in "Viking" ... NOTHING came up relating to your supposed story.", and on my complaintsboard.com posting commented "Funny how his link to the govt. doesn't come back with anything related to his supposed story.".
Based on these comments I
decided to see if the Canadian Govt link still worked, and it does. And I see now that the Canadian Govt
has added more charges - on July 17 2013 the Canadian Govt added new charges against Viking Marine and Bo Moller. So it seems that the Canadian Govt has found even more folks in a similar predicament - wow!
PDQ, thank you for bringing this to my attention - without your sarky comments I would not have noticed these additional charges against Viking/Bo, and brought them to the attention of the many folks that follow my blog for updates - much appreciated! Smooches!
