In addition to filing formal complaints with various agencies, I wrote the two television shows that aired hunts with Saskatchewan Goose Company and asked them to pull the episodes so no one else got screwed by Tyler Mann.
So today I got the attached email from Paul Beasley of Canada in the Rough.
Hi Charlie, I have spoken with Tyler and been advised that he is refunding your deposit. I am sorry to hear that you have had an unpleasant experience
as our time with Tyler and our dealings with him have been nothing short of fantastic.
Hope you're still able to find that waterfowl hunt you're dreaming of as a western waterfowl hunt can be truly amazing.
And guess what, I got an EMT right away from the Mann for the full amount. Thankfully I have auto deposit and it went right into the account (funny how he had my email...). Still holding my breath that it wont be yanked out for lack of funds at the other end but I dont think it would have gone through without the funds in the account.
I was going to call the RCMP tomorrow and file a theft / fraud complaint but guess I wont have to now. However, I am going to get nasty on his facebook page.
I did write a thank you response to Mr. Beasley for his efforts - he could have easily done nothing. Amazing what going to one of his "promoters" did, seeing as the Saskatchewan and my efforts didnt pay off...
