Re: Re-conditioned Engine Scam

Is it a mobile or landline number if its a mobile it will be a PAYG not easily traceable probably a false address as in most other scams the money is no doubt long gone

Then I would ring him up and ask him a few questions about his involvement in and with UK engine supplies. Better still I'd go and see him if its close enough to you.

But I'm only saying what I would do......... what you do is your decision to make of your own accord.

That's me................I'm a sort of aggressive type if and when wrongly provoked

Re: Re-conditioned Engine Scam

I can't see a Unit 21 at British Wharf Industrial Estate - seems to only go up to Unit 10 as of May 2015 but these signs aren't usually most reliable and google street view doesn't drive into the estate.

What does he say when you speak to him ?

You say you have done a lot of research on this which has led you to believe it is a scam. Could you point us to anything which made you come to that conclusion - it may assist in researching.

Re: Re-conditioned Engine Scam

If you call does it switch through to another number and is the STD code for the area the address is in?

Re: Re-conditioned Engine Scam

Ok, Have you spoken with Trading Standards ?

Have you got the website addresses for these different trading names - how did you come across the company and make the order - through a website or through ebay etc ?

Re: Re-conditioned Engine Scam

Heres an idea - http://urlm.co.uk/www.ukenginessupplies.co.uk

Contact his website hosting provider UK2 - He could well have given them his actual name and address and not his false name or address. Advise them of your situation and that you would like the name and address of the owner of the domain name with a view of issuing court proceedings against him! If they try hide behind the data protection act 1998 advise them that you could take them to court in order to get an order from the courts ordering them to disclose said details and they would liable to your costs! (blanging it, i know!)
