Description

A person named Pritam Mahapatra contacted me on Facebook on May 5, 2024. He has a website at https://solarbooking.ai/ and he claims that he helps people close solar deals (he knew I started being a member of the solar company called Powur). He said he could guarantee I make several solar deals per month if I pay him to manage ads and pay for the ads myself. Then, for the first two months, there were no sales whatsoever. He claimed he had a full refund policy if there were no sales, but that wasn't true. I lost about 5500 dollars in total and I'm trying to get a refund from my bank. Pritam refused to give me a refund and he lied many times throughout his scheme. He also charged my account even though I said I did not want to try to use his services for another month. A representative at my bank said that this merchant is definitely suspect. Pritam once said he is located in India, but his company is listed as SOLAR BOOKING ALBUQUERQUE NM.
