“GREAT DIRECTIONS DECEPTIONS”
SCOTT MOORE IS A SCAMMER!
I first encountered Scott Moore and his dodgy company Great Directions (Great Deceptions) in 2013.
At the time I was receiving PRP treatments with NHI (National Hair Institute) from a Dr Barry White. Scott Moore was his business partner and it was during this period where Dr Barry White decided to take all his patient’s money, declare bankruptcy and flea overseas. Scott then took over the business and rebadged it as ‘Great Directions’. At first Scott seemed like a decent enough guy but as time went on his started to show his true colours and his dodgy ways. Scott has stolen $725 dollars from me and I have warned him to refund it or I will contact ACCC/Fair trading etc.
Scott being the weak character he is, refused to refund me and subsequently I notified both associations.
THIS IS A WARNING TO ANYONE THINKING OF PAYING SCOTT MOORE AND HIS DODGY COMPANY
Between the years of 2013 and 2018 I have witnessed incredibly dodgy actions of Scott Moore.
BEING SHUTDOWN/DOOR CLOSURES
Why is it the case that Scott keeps relocating?
He’d have you think the lack of signage is to be discrete of hair loss though my opinion is that Scott is trying to hide his location and keep it hidden from his landlord and Council what he is up too.
WHERE ARE ALL THE NURSES?
SCOTT'S FALSE STATEMENTS
There are so many dodgy stories of Scott being kicked out of residential/commercial buildings for trying to conduct PRP in them and also taking people’s money and not providing a service that it is not funny.
Scott said to me in a text message when stating that he was broken into for the second time in two months
“I must have seriously screwed someone over in a previous life”.
I think Scott almost hit the nail on the head with that statement though he should have dropped “a previous”.
With the money Scott stole from me I hope he buys himself a 1 way ticket to Kazakhstan because I’m one of many of the balding men chasing him out of town and it appears Scott’s lies and mistreatment of his patients is finally closing in on him.

There are a lot of terrible reviews floating around on the internet about 'Scott Moore and his company Great Directions'.
Personally I speak from a terrible experience I've had with Scott Moore and I draw the conclusion that Scott is dodgy and the locations in which he has conducted PRP procedures are not only questionable but after speaking to my G.P could be deemed dangerous. My advice to anyone thinking of giving Scott money is to avoid doing so and at the very least please do your research.
After to speaking to two doctors in regards to what I have experienced at Great Directions I was advised to report Scott Moore to NSW Health Care Complaints Commission and to have a blood test to check for any infectious diseases that could be contracted through the misuse of needles.
This is my personal account of dealing with Scott Moore from Great Directions.
My first encounter with Scott Moore happened in 2013 where I was receiving PRP treatment for hair loss by a Dr Barry White at the National Hair Institute. At the time Scott was a business partner of Barry and one week it appeared that Barry had skipped town and decided to do a runner on all of his customers, declare bankruptcy and flea overseas. No one could seem to get in touch with him. It was here where Scott presented himself as the knight in shining amour. Here to honor the treatments you paid for with Barry but as time went on I started to question the ethics of Scott and ultimately my intuition was right and I wish I didn't give him more money before he ultimately ripped me off.
I watched Scott relocate his clinic time and time again and each time the clinic's quality gradually deteriorated. From going to a nursing team who oddly gave massages to you whilst the numbing cream set in to being shut down and Scott conducting PRP sessions in a residential apartment in the living room whilst another guy waits in the bed room with the numbing cream drying on his head. Scott's quality dramatically went down hill and when he lost his nursing team he started to apply PRP treatments on his own.
This was always concerning as Scott does not seem qualified to conduct this procedure yet alone take blood. He use to berate his nursing team in front of customers and bully them horrendously. I've watched this happen personally and was disgusted by what I witnessed. The irony of the situation is that they seem to be more qualified than Scott to take blood and administer this type of procedure.
I always wondered why Scott's clinics wouldn't be open more than 12 months and after 5 years of dealing with and with him ultimately stealing $725 from me I've come to learn the following:
Between the years of 2013 and 2018 I have witnessed highly questionable actions of Scott Moore.
BEING SHUTDOWN/DOOR CLOSURES
Why is it the case that Scott keeps relocating?
There is an incredible lack of signage on his clinics. I did find this strange as all other hair clinics I've ever been too seem to have signage. My personal feelings are that it feel's like Great Directions are trying to hide their location and keep it hidden from the landlord and Council what is going on in there.
WHERE ARE ALL THE NURSES?
FALSE STATEMENTS THAT DON'T STACK UP
After reading the many dodgy stories online of Scott being kicked out of residential/commercial buildings for trying to conduct PRP in them in addition to reading account after account of him taking people’s money and not providing a service I am confident that I am not going to get my money back.
I have sent Scott numerous messages requesting a refund and he now just ignores me.
Scott said to me in a text message when stating that he was broken into for the second time in two months
“I must have seriously screwed someone over in a previous life”.
I think Scott almost hit the nail on the head with that statement though he should have dropped “a previous”. It seems like I am just one of the many victims when it comes to being ripped off by Great Directions and Scott Moore.
I have bank records showing the transfer of funds in addition to my text messages/email with Scott to prove that he took the money from me and is not willing to give it back.
If you have been scammed by Scott Moore then you should immediately contact the ACCC - SCAMwatch as well as the Department of Fair Trading. If you also feel as if a procedure conducted on you was not done in safely then contact your doctor and also advise the NSW HCCC on the links below:
