RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted October 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2018 I have decided to do the Xmas shopping early, and SWMBO's present to me was going to be one of these https://goo.gl/images/muZKj6 So I did a bit of googling and came up with this lot: http://www.mlasshop.top/model-railways-trains-c-708_763/?page=3 Who had/have one at a very reasonable price (£32.00) Too good to be true? I had a look at a couple of Domain Registration sites doing a 'Whois' search, but on first look, all ownership details seemed to be 'Masked' under GDPR regs. Another Google tonight gave a Registered address in Dover, and the company claims to have 106 stores in Eastern Europe, with main markets in Western Europe. Working through their site, there seems to be an 'eclectic' range of items available, with no common theme. Also, no contact details (which I thought were a legal requirement) Being poor wage slave, I am loath to part with Hard earned cash on something which may be dodgy, even if it is 'Her' money Has anyone else had any experience with these people.

RMweb Gold ian Posted October 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2018 Looking at it, I wouldn't touch it with someone else's bargepole. On the selection on the home screen was this a secondhand coach that they claim to have for sale - which has been lifted from another website. http://www.mlasshop.top/coaches-c-708_763_764_2033/Hornby-039oo039-gauge-br-mk2-039intercity039-bluegrey-brake-coach-nom9450-unboxed-p-15264.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted October 24, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks to the Mod Squad for putting this in the correct place. There are so many choiuces now, I found it hard to decide. I did have a browse through some of the rest of the site. Nothing really inspired confidence. This is one bargain that I will not be adding to 'Bargain Hunters' I suppose I had better keep looking for the wife's X mas pressie.

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted October 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Looks like a scam site and not even subtle. I copied one of the headers and pasted to Ebay. It turned out to be lifted from the shop of our old friend from Cartmel!! A second item took me to a site called Manchester Model Shop, which when found on Google looks as if it is in some lock-ups down a back alley off Bury Old Road A third search took me to an item listed by Rails of Sheffield.
