    Legal requirement to have the business address or registered address on the website.

    And spam now also.

    One to avoid.

    Hi There,

    Would just like to explain the reasons for our address not being on our website: we operate a nationwide collection service so there is no need for people to bring there vehicle to us therfore we did not see to give a address, but we will be adding this soon as we can understand your point.

    Also I would just like say we are a bonafide company trying to give the general public a good honest reliable service.

    Thank you

    No company details on the website either never mind just an address. I'd avoid at all costs.

    You don't even disclose your identity on your website. Are you a limited company called Nationwidecarbuyer Ltd? A limited company called something else? A partnership? A loose association of local companies sharing a trading name? Or some bloke "trading as" out of his spare bedroom?

    You may well be a respectable company for all I know, but your website doesn't make you look like one.

    Scurrying in the background now trying to find an address they can use?

    No domain registration address either.

    Google search shows this website right after theirs and then the scam adviser website.

  • I was worried about using them after reading some of these comments but they offered the best price and scam adviser actually gives them a safe rating, so gave it a go anyway and it went just fine, not sure what all the fuss is about.
  • Is she certain that the money hasn't by now been taken back by the payee, and so leaving your friend with no money and no car?

    She wouldn't be the first.

    Also i read this and checked with my bank, you can't take money out of someones account once it's in without their bank receiving permission from your bank who has to receive permission from you...

    Have you checked that out with Paypal?

    and yes, you are right, there is only one reason they wouldn't supply details on their website.. because they aren't legally obliged to supply them..

    Ermm. Yes they are.

    A company must also state its name in legible lettering on the following business stationery, whether in hard copy, electronic or other form:

    all the company's business letters or order forms
    all its notices and other official publications
    ...
    all its websites

    The company must also show in legible lettering, on all business letters, order forms and any of the company's websites:

    ... as said by a brand new user joining simply to sing the praises of nationwidecarbuyer.com and with no other posts.

    Do you really thing we are stupid enough to believe this twaddle?
