Business ProfileforEverest Ice And Water Systems

First purchase deposit done in October 2022, total paid off in April 2023, total payment was $48,000. Manufacturing was to take from October to April with a planned May Delivery.Everest Ice was unable to provide credit card or cash processing for the machine which was to reside outside of the US. From January to April they presented a solution that I accepted only for me to learn that it was a fraudulent option that would have amounted to money laundering had I accepted. I was told that staff was no longer with the company. After that I was introduced to Nayax a company which Everest used to manufacture their card reader systems for the ice machines. This was of course after I had paid in full for the machine when Nayax made it clear they had no solution nor were they willing to create a solution for the card reader on the machine. As quoted, it was too expensive to consider.This knowledge gained by myself and it seems Everest Ice at the same time I now sit here in November 2023 writing as I have come to a dead end with finding a resolution with Everest Ice. I have been told of my $48,000 if I want to cancel the order I can accept a 30% deduction fee otherwise I can take delivery of a machine that is incomplete and unusable for my application. I have been sold a machine that has never worked outside of the US in an extraordinarily deceptive way. Having joined multiple groups on the social media world of owners I can now say that my issue is not isolated. This is a Ponzi Scheme, a company with excellent marketing and sales and very little engineering or technical ability. In simple terms I am seeking a refund for a machine that Everest has manufactured and has been sitting (by my assumption) at their site since April 2023.
