I'm trying to gain time until i understand what to do.
I called the Manchester Police, and asked them for help, but they say they cant do nothing because i'm Portuguese!!! - can you believe this?!?!?

Any help from you would be very appreciated!!!

thank you

I have just read about your experience and i'm afraid you have been scammed - we checked this company out because prices were too good to be true; the company documentation was not in order and large deposits were asked for in order for a deal to be done. This company posts in many domestic and international trade forums so I hope others have not been duped.

Hi, we share the same experience. Report to your police, contact your bank to talk to HBOS and freeze the account. Contact HBOS directly (you got the account number and talk to the hotline, ask for a fax no. of the international payment division and fax them a complaint asap. It's a Daniel Gurner scam, check that name! PC

Spoke to this guy on the phone a few weeks back.
Prices were too good to be true and he was speaking in such a fast, panicky way....
He also knew knew very little about his own stock..
