Telephone 44-704-5732477
Registered No.04918956

Foreign speaking

Lots of mysterious companies have set up at these addresses as shown on UKdata.com

Offer is:
10 PS3 for sale - For $2150 including VAT (sounds too cheap, and why state dollars if you are in UK?

Havnt discussed payment terms yet but sure that T/T, western Union, moneygram will come up!

Im 99% sure they are dodgy but least its another company discussed on this forum which I dont believe has come up after searching on here.

Thanks

Tim

Thank you for your feedback.

DM- I put it on the forum so that people know about the company!! I had no intention of buying anything so please refrain from the sarcastic remarks, I thought the whole point was to inform the forum, however, I appologise if you did not mean it to sound like that.

Anyway, I have an idea, it maybe an obvious one, and maybe something that has been discussed before but thought I might throw it about for general discussion.

Really directed at Anthony and the Mods!

How about introducing a tab under 'quick navigation'. This could direct people to a wholesale list of known scammers.

The list would would include the company name, address, reg no, trade discription and date of proven corruption/fraudalent activity. It could be shown on a table and in running order of most fraudelant companies (much like the heat maps as produced on the London Stock Exchange) going from red to green with the spectrum of shades in between. Most fraudelant shown in dark red with companies yet to be proved but with information of dodgy activity shown further down in green.

The list could be added by any member, but owner/mod would only have permissions in order to facilitate whether a company should be placed in the red area of the table.

There could be 5 or 6 different symbols showing the type of fraudelant activity (ie credit rating, dodgy payment terms, fraudelant paperwork, non delivery etc) with a key at the bottom to show what each meant.

The table would only be available to members and if proved popular could be subscribed to with a small payment in order to pay for the set up costs later on. Who knows, people could download the list or it could be snchronised to their PCs if they wished so that they would have the most up to date information.

The various forums on new companies would still happen but reduce the replication of already answered postings on discussed companies. Mods could share the workload to place a company in the danger zone of the table.

Just an idea, could be crap but would appreciate your comments!

I dont think that DM was being rude in his post, £110 is obviously to little for a pal ps3.

And your idea about a scammers list. Firstly there are a few sites which already operate in this area. Secondly, it would take to long to set up, scammers can often have someone elses identity. And lastly, scammers are hard to catch, half the names on this would probs be 1 guy.

Sorry to be a little aggressive towards the idea. Its just to hard to set up, and the scammers section on here is pretty good.

Thanks Matt

Thanks Matt and your response to it is not aggressive at all. I have not come across too many lists but just thought that I would ask about it on here and see if it is possible to consolidate all the information on one table. Always good to batter a few ideas around!

And your very right, this forum is very good for pointing out the scammers which is of course one of the reasons why we are all on it!!

Thanks, Tim
