Sorry you can't be more precise? I'm having trouble getting a grasp of anything you've typed.

From what I can make out you've heard a rumour that someone possibly pre-ordered some models which maybe didn't turn up. He or she may have ordered them from a company that you're not sure exists, or what they're called, and that fraudulent charges might have been made against the purchasers credit card.

You don't work part time for the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad do you?

I'm sorry, but you can't come onto a forum and spread that sort of unsubstantiated rumour. If you're going to subject a company to bad publicity at least try and present some factual evidence in a literate fashion, especially when a lot of your previous posts have been in support of a reseller of models who I suspect isn't the one who might or might not exist/be scamming customers.

Just done a search on censored, site looks very dodgy indeed. No address, no phone number. The Contact Us button just opens up email to send them. There is no other forum of communication available except for email.

They apparently operate from the UK yet all of the prices are shown in Euros.

I would certainly be very cautious of this site.

Guys: PH has a name and shame policy here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

The same also applies to the posting rules which you agreed to when you signed up.

I see a lot of sites with just a mobile contact number and PO Box for an address - and no company/VAT reg numbers. Do people really buy from these sites!
