To cut a long story short, we were at an event where one of the DCs was performing and paid a "professional" photographer close to £100 for some photos to give to grandparents etc. This was at end of May. The photos were supposed to be delivered within a month (which I thought was bad enough).
Over two months later, we still haven't received any photos. I have phoned the photographer several times and been reassured that he would send them next day delivery etc but needless to say they haven't turned up.
I tried to call him again today as yet another deadline for delivery has passed but have not had a response, so I have texted him and left a voicemail to the effect that if I don't get the photos or a full refund in the next 48 hours I'm going to have to progress this with the relevant authorities and alert any other interested stakeholders (eg the event organisers and the building owners where the photos were taken).
Realistically, what is my best option for getting my money back and making sure he doesn't scam other people?
He's not on twitter or FB so those aren't opportunities I can pursue to shame him into actually sending me the photos I paid for or sending me a full refund.
