    UPDATE

    Copied from the forum at http://geteven.biz/viewtopic.php?t=67

    Guys and girls........ very important news!

    Ive just had a phone call from Amy - formerly of musthave100.co.uk

    She is very upset and concerned - and she too is a victim of this scam - is now unemployed and owed wages.

    After a very long chat this morning (luckily as someone who shouts loudest - and I cant claim inocence there!) - she had my mobile number in her notes and was able to give me a call - after recognising my username and speaking to me about getting 2 sets delivered - 2 and 2 was put together!

    Anyway, she has said that both her and Caroline actually answered the ad that we've now all seen posted for her job and worked from home. All contact with Adias Varzukas was via ICQ so she's never seen either the Coventry or London Addresses and not able to help on that.

    Amy unfortunately had to leave on Thursday early for a hospital appointment and told him she wouldn't be at work again until Sunday. (Bare in mind its home work.) So when she tried to log into the company on Sunday, was the first she realised something was wrong..... then got worse when she saw the forum! She did say she did think about joining to spill the beans on what had now transpired, but was a little worried after seeing some of the posts.

    So, we've had a major peice of luck.

    She will be contacting the police today - and now they must listen and will not be able to fob people off with "tell your bank". Amy has agreed to call me back with her crime report number. I believe she will also speak to Caroline to do the same. Whislt most of the company info had to be logged into, people that they called, they have got some of the records and details that can be passed over.

    I have been given her home phone number - and personal email address. I can verify that the info given is true, as I had to call back with a bit of further info to pass on.

    Oh - and those that were saying that they had shipped Argos TVs - were spot on! Amy was told that they had problems with their supplier and even though it was a loss, it should keep faith in the comapny. It definately worked! A one of the recipients I virtually helped them by giving them a green light on HUKD!

    I am at work at the moment - so not able to expand too much - but thats pretty much the crux of the call. I will try to get back on at lunchtime.

    So guys - those who have given Amy and Caroline a hard time - and suggesting tracking down - you are off track.

    Everyone - apart from Adias Arzukas has been duped - though no one is sure who Richard Lee is. He may be the same person!

    So chin up folks - this is a major breakthrough........

    Once I have the crime ref number - everyone reporting should report this number.


    So lastly...... rather than some of the nasty comments you may have seen on this forum, I would like to say a big thankyou to Amy for coming forward. Your email address and telephone number is safe - and will not be passed on - you have my word on that.

    I'm probably up for the high jump anyway but ill check out that forum. Boss called me in the office and had a chat, he seemed to think I was the dodgy scammer :D :mad: :D :rolleyes: but after a tad heater discussion it was firmly established that him and me were a victim of a fraudster! The only thing to save my bacon is a CC claw-back.... Bearing in mind my boss fought hard to get where he is today, he had NO idea you could put into motion a CC claw-back! Cleaver guy but he has absolutely no common sense.... :eek:


    Thanks people!!!!! :T
