He makes a good point for us to remove the link. Any members or guests that click on the link are just adding to the problem.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

I don't think that it is a scam...as in not getting anything. More question of ripping off his design, I think

The price it was offering was a lot less than the material cost to build it to the spec that was advertised. Even if you got something, it wouldn't be what you thought you were buying.

It was. A scam. :oops:

Before I realised the Rip-Off of Matthias's IPR, I'd flashed the card. Once I knew of his rip-off I was going to video a ceremonial burning. But I can't because this is what the c***s sent me. Go on...have a good laugh... I have been a prat. And when I researched them I thought they seemed kosher.

Anyone know any WhiteHats who can trash their website ?

Looking at Companies House...how can two entities both have 75% or more shares ?

What is it they’ve sent you Roger? I didn’t see the original ad and can’t be bothered searching for it.

which I now realise was a scam by ripping off Mathias's designed and built product. But hey...they are Chinese so what do you expect? *

This is what I received and I would like to shove it up very hard. Many times.
