    Yippee! I have been unbanned. So I have registered again with fictitious details and have made yet another dummy purchase. I can confirm that the credit-card screen is not secure, and I was able to "complete" the purchase by writing the words "not secure" in the space where it asks for a credit-card number. That site is a joke.

    Trisontana, you are being very polite just typing "not secure" where the credit card number goes; I have written much stronger words and sentences in this field such as....(well, you can guess), and received the "Thank you for your order" message.

    Incidentally, any unwitting customers who have placed an order on the site, and stumble on this site afterwards must do 3 things:

    a) stop their credit card immediately
    b) issue a chargeback against GC
    c) inform the Police.

    Yet when I spoke to [Name removed by Forum Team] yesterday he still denied that the site was insecure, and he said that it is impossible to complete a transaction without valid credit-card information. Is he in denial, or his he aware that he is operating a web-site that is open to fraudulent activity?

    I also placed a fake order this morning: in the credit card number field I put: Wakey, wakey, hands off snakey. Again my order was approved after the "secure" form was sent to an imaginary bank for authorisation.

    You are wrong Jane: Wakey, wakey, hands off snakey is a valid credit card number, it belongs to Simon, one of the chipmunks from "Alvin and the Chipmunks"

    The only fraudulent activity that is going to occur is David and [Name removed by Forum Team] dipping into your credit card for airline tickets, holidays, and designer shellsuits. He is not in denial, he is a credit card fraudster, it's as simple as that.

    I was being a tad ironic there, because I am pretty sure what's going on in the mighty [Name removed by Forum Team] Empire.

    One thing I forgot to ask [Name removed by Forum Team] yesterday was why he is late in filing his accounts with Companies House. If I had asked I am sure he would have come up with some sort of outlandish excuse why they are overdue.

    this thread has been one of the most humuorous along with the most informative I have read in a very long time....I very nearly purchased off this site untill I realised it wasnt secure and so didnt...googled and came here, and have been reading ever since...I have a request though - wondering if one of you who are leaving the 'orders' could take a screen shot and post it here...I think the fact that this goon (can think of better descriptive words but goon will do for now lol) is insisting that his site is secure is frightening..the 'powers to be' seem to be dragging their feet in doing something -and that as well is unbelievable in itself...unfortuately - this individual is still going to take innocent folks money...

    edited to say: please only post a screen shot with NO personal details of the poster of course :)

    I don't know if this will work or not, you may have to log onto the site. If you want to do that the log-in details are bignob@hotmail.co.uk and the password is "scammer"

    http://www.gcspcs.co.uk/store/cart.php?act=step5

    All the "personal" details on there are fictitious

    trisontana - so, the [Name removed by Forum Team] s can't even regionalise their customer account details page (using "cellphone" instead of "mobile phone").
