Greyman 28,372 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Looking at all the reply,s looks like someone may have taken a legit business,s advert,s and added them to a fraudulent site, it happens a lot with eBay adds, people copy your ad and try to sell what they don't own, camper vans, boats and things like that are very common scams on eBay during summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 If he's been a registered ltd company for 4 years with accounts up to date, why would he start trying to scam people now? The op joined, posted this and hasn't been back since. I smell a rat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ginger beard 4,652 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I think walshie has shares in the company or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what you're digging at, but I'm pointing out facts that everyone else seems to have overlooked. That and the fact someone joins a site for one post with "keywords" and the company logo then doesn't come back is a bit suspicious Seems like he wants someone else to do his dirty work for him.

That's true, mate and we simply don't know enough about the place. If anyone learns anything from the thread though it should be summarized as Buyer Beware however that's applicable to pretty much anywhere.

electrolific 3 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) wow, what a lot of comments... To answer a few issues: * Robert Burleigh is probably a real person and may have had his identity and reputation used for this - if anybody knows him then obviously let him know * I went to the shop and its just an accounting firm. Their website and background story looked so genuine (all the detail on opening hours and range of products etc.) but something didn't smell right and the fake copy of a passport rang alarm bells (its attached, check out the name really closely). Also, I don't like to do a bank transfer of thousands of euros when I can just visit them - I'm currently in Germany but I'm a kiwi and took a week to see some of the UK countryside. * I did indeed just sign up for this forum, and another one, just to post that message. I couldn't find any info or reviews of them anywhere before I went to their "shop" so I thought I'd create something online for people to (hopefully) find. I also reported the website but I doubt anything will happen since I have not suffered a loss (other than wasting my time going there). In New Zealand I would have posted it to a hunters facebook group but since I'm not a member of one here... * Just in the last few days I contacted them again (via email) asking whats up, how come they weren't there etc. ... and their response is below (which contradicts their premise of having a store you can visit): Hello Mr. Haydn, This is an web shop and we usually sell by online orders... do not meet people.
