Anybody here heard of this lot: http://www.global-cargo-shipping-company.com ? A friend here is looking at buying a bike from the yuk and the seller has suggested using this outfit do do the deal. They hold the money until the bike arrives here. Opinions? -- Paul.

I have no knowledge of the company you mention, but I'd run a mile. -- Dnc B1200 - +30bhp ~|~ ZZR1100 - faster when upright V2300 - flat cap and rug ~|~ A6 2.5TDi V6 Quattro Sport MIB#26 two#54(soiled) UKRMMA#26 BOTAFOT#153 X-FOT#003
1) the domain sounds dodgey as hell 2) the page looks dodgey 3) they have no terms and conditions (404) 4) the domain was registered just over a month ago 5) the seller wants you to use them They look highly trustworthy.
There is a perfectly good way of solving the problem they claim to solve, and its either to use a letter of credit or a reputable forwarder and cash against docs or similar. Add the fact that the 'sign up to be a member' smells very much like some of the 419s in my mail box and I'd walk away - both from these guys and from anyone who suggested using them. YMMV, but that what I'd do. You may also want to Google for an alledged similar 'service' someone was offerring with a very dodgey (non)TNT url.
Yes, I did a whois as well. Does look dodgy. -- Paul. CBR1100XX SuperBlackbird BOTAFOT #4 BOTAFOF #30 MRO #24 OMF #15 Buy this house: http://personales.ya.com/wibbleypants/main.htm This will be ready soon: http://personales.ya.com/wibbleypants/bb_in_andalucia_spain.htm
The source for the already ropey looking page shows " saved from http://escrow-uk.org" and when you go to that addy it's a holding page for another site, and whois gives a whole heap of gobbledygook that tells me to run a mile. Quickly.
Cheers for the opinions everybody. -- Paul. CBR1100XX SuperBlackbird BOTAFOT #4 BOTAFOF #30 MRO #24 OMF #15 Buy this house: http://personales.ya.com/wibbleypants/main.htm This will be ready soon: http://personales.ya.com/wibbleypants/bb_in_andalucia_spain.htm
Bargepole. There is one escrow site that is well known and trusted, www.escrow.com but it costs. Frankly, anyone wanting any other one is at the fiddle. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a I demand nothing of you except that you amuse me.
