A SCHOOLBOY who runs a mobile phone sales website has insisted his firm has done nothing wrong after police were called in following complaints.

[Name removed by Forum Team]
, 16, set up GC’s PCs which sells mobile phones and other electrical goods.

Police were called in to investigate claims of fraud and are working with Trading Standards following complaints about the company.

Mr [Name removed by Forum Team] , who is studying A-levels at Southend High School for Boys, has now taken the site www.gcspcs.

co.uk offline.

The Benfleet teenager maintains he has done nothing wrong and the site has been taken offline on police advice. He also said threats had been made by disgruntled customers.

Mr [Name removed by Forum Team] said: “We are confident there is nothing to be found and I would never let the incident of fraud occur.

“GC’s PCs has a legal obligation and we are obliged to do what we can within the UK law.

“We feel it may be customers using the term fraud loosely, but not quite comprehending what it means.

“In the meantime, we urge all customers who have felt unhappy to contact us as soon as possible on legal@gcspcs.

co.uk.”

Mr [Name removed by Forum Team] pays himself £500 a month from the business and also sponsors a scoreboard at Southend United’s Roots Hall stadium.

Roger Grimwade, Essex Police spokesman, said: “We are working with Essex Trading Standards to investigate complaints about possible fraudulent trading.

“We are also aware of allegations of threats being made against premises and persons.”

MAYBE ESSEX POLICE AND TRADING STANDARDS HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO THAN LOOK FOR LORRY LOADS OF SMUGGLED FAGS AND DEADLY SOFAS

I'm not reading through 95 pages, so can someone provide me with a reason why this person hasn't been arrested yet?

Because he didn't do anything that the police considered to be against the law?

Fair play to {Removed by Forum team} for having another go in business though.

Young entrepreneurs are just what this country needs.

HONEST Young entrepreneurs, however this Country needs the likes of {Removed by Forum team} like a horse needs Winalot.

If he'd done anything wrong he'd not still be at liberty.

marleyboy

He's done MORE than enough, and not just on this forum. I hear Robert Maxwell never got charged, it doesn't make him innocent either, but your the LAST person who needs convincing, lets just say the majority of us .....just KNOW

I think some people are still pursuing him through the small-clams court for the return of money he took without supplying the goods they ordered:-

OK {Removed by Forum team}, you keep saying none of these people are real customers, now talk to a real customer.
I have a county court judgement in my favour against yourself for a total of £828.88 that has so far been ignored.
I would like to know when I will receive this amount or whether further action is necessary. I would like to point out that under these circumstances that if you fail to repay the total amount then I am entitled to file under Directors Disqualification Act 1986 which would stop you running any future businesses for the next 15 years.

I would appreciate a prompt reply

Thats what I thought as well, unless of course {Removed by Forum team} thinks a 56k modem is "top of the range"

Oh {Removed by Forum team} can we not have coaxial NIC's on our computers? The reason why I sell PC's on eBay is to fund my self(at fairly competitive prices to others) but building/repairing PC's isnt exactly a hard thing to do, hence the reason it doesnt pay very well(and will probably go to university and get CCNP, CCSP etc... and become a network admin) Any way, building PC's doesnt pay much at all(well there are a few exceptions) and {Removed by Forum team} will learn the hard way if he is marking the price up by so much. Less people will come to him for a PC

Its partially due to the mobile market, and partially due to the fact that non Gaming machines are cheaper to buy in the shops than to make a prebuilt one (especially in an organisation)

Most people may make a set amount of profit on a whole build, but not {Removed by Forum team}. He's actuallly tried to make a massive mark up on individual items. I also wonder if he actually gives technical support lol
