So I have it on good authority that Jonathan Stephenson of my solar installation saga https://www.gunsite.co.za/forums/showthread.php?108318-Scam-Alert-Sunsmart-Solar&p=1528075) seems to have expanded into the firearms field... he's the guy heading up "The Tactical Nation" and some event called Headshot Circus.

Website with massive promises, contact details oy a cellphone number...

Firearm people in general are kind and trustworthy. I hope this twat has a short stint.

Out of curiosity, what the connection to him and these guys?

I can't see anything on their website except they claim to have navy seals on staff, which is odd in the local context.

According to the info I have, he's the brains behind the outfit, with someone else as the face. (Consistent MO as in the past!) I suspect he knows his name proceeds him.

They claim to be importers of a number of brands, including Voere. The solar (and previous water drilling) scam worked by taking large deposits on high value items or services, and then failing to deliver, citing a litany of excuses. Expensive gun stuff (or perhaps training courses with Navy Seals??) plays right into this model.

Leopard, spots, etc...

Im quite wary of them. No footprint in the industry but they seem to claim importers of all big brands etc.

That website is a total mess as well

Maybe their navy seals are real seals. You know, the ones from the cape beaches that bites beachgoers.

Jonathan Stephenson is a con artist and fraud. I represented one of his victims in a suit. He just cons people out of their money. He needs to be exposed. A real piece of shit who belongs in prison.
