Having been interested in Smartflower.com I was excited to meet the Smartflower Texas dealer Bob 'Kill-a-watt Cowboy' Oliver of Wild West Wind and Solar. At least until I put a down-payment and couldn't get in contact with him. All kinds of stories, voice mail was full, he was sick, his cousin was sick, won't return texts or emails, all the behaviors one expects from a crook. Well sure enough when I asked for a refund, he finally replies with the "F" word and refused to refund my down-payment.
When filing my BBB complaint he rambles on about not owing me any money and asks for proof, which I supplied in the form of the Wire transfer which clearly states Smartflower down-payment. To which BBB confirmed my complaint as part of this record. Having multiple businesses registered in his name, Amazing Renewable Energy Solutions, Inc. the only one still active, I felt it important to warn others about crooked Bob Oliver and Smartflower Tx.
