    I just rang the "order line" and got through to [Name removed by Forum Team] ; here's the conversation (I taped it):

    Burgerflipper: Silence
    Me: Hello?

    Burgerflipper: Hello?
    Me: Oh hello, it this the GLC Group PLC?

    Burgerflipper: Yeah
    Me: Oh hi, I am keen to buy your Nokia Navigator 6110; is this still available?

    Burgerflipper: Who are you?
    Me: I do apologise. my name is Beauchamp Orme-Smythe, I am calling from London

    Burgerflipper: Do you wear a Tesco bag on your bottom?
    Me: Excuse me?

    Burgerflipper: Your mother is a !!!!!.
    Me: Well, maybe she was once, but I really rang to buy a mobile phone with my credit card. Can you help me that or should I go elsewhere?

    Burgerflipper: Why don't you go and f*ck yourself
    Me: Maybe later, but first I want to buy a Nokia

    Burgerflipper: What is your phone number?
    Me: 020 7589 1465

    Burgerflipper: I am ringing it; no one is answering
    Me: That is because I am not at home and I rang you from my mobile.

    Burgerflipper: Right, I have had enough time now to trace the call and the Police will be with you in 10 minutes
    Me: Why?

    Burgerflipper: Stop wasting my time
    Me: I just want to buy a phone, can you help me with that?

    Burgerflipper: F*ck your mother (hangs up)

    OMG, just imagine if I was a real customer trying to place an order?

    Essex Police (with its unlimited budget) have set up a crack team who's only job is to trace any phone calls made to the Southend Wunderkind. He has been such a help to them in the past as a one-man (child) crime-fighter that they are more than happy to devote all that money and manpower to this task.

    So that's why the charges against him were dropped :rotfl:

    It's worth re-quoting this from the original glowing article article in the Southend Echo:-

    Garry Adamson, director of commercial services at Southend United, said: “When you do business with [Name removed by Forum Team] , the first thing you need to do is suspend disbelief.”

    [Name removed by Forum Team] , why are you selling gift cards if you are closing down? Surely there is no way these can be redeemed once you have gone?

    I must state now that James Gilmour did not ring today or at any time and no calls have been answered on that telephone line since February. As it is switched off, it would have been impossible for him to call me. At least i know who the threatening calls were from about the Tesco bag. Thank you for that evidence.

    [Name removed by Forum Team] , you seem to be contradicting yourself. First you say that the phone system has been switched off and you never received that call. But later on you are talking as though you did receive that call, because you mention the Tesco bag.

    And why won't you answer my question about the gift cards? Is it because you know you are breaking the law by selling something that cannot be redeemed. That is known as false trading.

    If, as you say, your phone system is switched off, how are you going to take any orders. I just don't understand your trading methods.


    I see that you have disappeared again when any embarrassing questions are asked. Some people would call that the action of a coward.

    Surely that kind of question is a bit too complex for someone with a PhD and a few Degree's.

    Just a reminder of the way [Name removed by Forum Team] sometimes struggles with the truth. Remember this about the Basingstoke address?

    I am not aware of this website and it now looks like someone has used some of my details!

    I suggest you do not use this site - it's registered in Basingstoke I spoke to a mail company there.

    Looks like someone is trying to copy me and make things look worse, so please ignore it

    they have not used any other personal details or customers etc


    It did belong to him all the time, as was proved by this later answer:-

    thank you for your question. I do not live near Southend and do not live in Southend. In fact the travelling time to Southend is the equivalent of being in Reading. Every company has to have a registered office address and so Basingstoke is our new registered office with much newer technology, more expensive but newer technology thats easier to use. Commuting isn't relevant.

    And, of course he does live near Southend.
