  • the guy behind all this is scott major email address [EMAIL="scottmajor@hotmail.com"]scottmajor@hotmail.com[/EMAIL] hope this helps

    he tricked his way into the pet shop as he has been banned from ebay so he could get a new address i feel sorry for the guy who owns the pet shop with all the calls and visits maybe a few visits to the guys home might change things anyone in penzance ?
  • Sorry buster but are you sure you are not Gary because I have been reading the link you posted and it seems that that has people writing posts defending these rip off merchants aswell. And as on here poeple have been suspicious of them. They pick up on the similar writing style between them and cgkelectricals posting and I have to say you have the same writing style. If I could post the text from an email I recieved from them it would look very similar to yours.
  • Hi

    I have been looking for this link for a while and now i found it , let me tell you who i am my name is Gary Hicks owner of C G K pet supplies based at 36a Market Jew Street
    Penzance
    Cornwall
    Tr18 2ht

    Let me tell you a little about scott major the mastermind who has ripped many people off including myself.

    This man approached me asking if i would like a website for my pet supplies, as a businessman i agreed and paid a fee of £500.

    Scott then started to build a website but the sales where abit slow so suggested ebay, as i had a ebay account set up 0173mooch i allowed him access to this and my paypal account.

    After a week we had a few sales but it was not really working with the pet supplies so scott said what about electricals. I agreed and asked where he would buy his stock from etc and got details, the slaes started coming in and there was alot of money coming into paypal.After a week or so a few parcels started coming in and going out so i thought everything was fine and left Scott to it.

    Then my shop phone started ringing angry customers (where is my laptop) was all i seemed to hear every 2 seconds.

    Scott had changed the bank account on my paypal account and transfered £10,000 pound he said to me we had made £3000 profit so he handed over £1500.

    I has now not been seen since just before christmas and my phone in the shop is non stop i only wish i knew a soloutins as this has affected me in a very big way , my shop is suffering , im suffering and now i owe paypal £10,000 pound.

    Any help would be great and if this man contacts anyone in penzance about a website say no and call the police please he must be stopped.

    Regards
    Gary Hicks

    I'm sorry, I don't believe a word of what your saying 'Gary'.

    First 'Buster' comes on with an alibi for you saying someone else is to blame, then surprise surprise YOU come on 20 mins later to give a longer (not very believable) version of the alibi.

    Sorry, don't believe a word, just sounds like you're trying to cover yourself for the pet shop cos people have rumbled where your located.

    The scam is up so can all the SG/CGK scammers (including Buster and CGK, nice try but were not stupid) please sod off and leave this thread to get back to what it is meant for.

    You actually can order them with XP online, it costs an extra £40 as you get XP installed and a Vista disc too so you can install it if you want. Having said that I would be pretty sure (having negotiated with Dell before) you could phone up and get it with JUST XP and NO Vista disc for no extra cost ;)

    Thats why I said ring them, you then wont get charged the extra £40 ;)

    If Buster and Gary aren't too busy playing with each other on or off the Tosh or DS you might be able to contact them on 08002425409
