I do not know this shop but the phone number given is a mobile phone.

The postcode is the same as the Docklands Hilton Hotel so maybe you
could ask someone there if they know the shop.

The website looks ok (http://flamingo-electronics.net/). HOWEVER - although
they claim to be a Limited Company, there is no company number on the
website (AFAICS) AND a quick search of the Companies House database using
their WebCHeck facility (http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/) does not find a
company registered as Flamingo Electronics Limited, so I'd be suspicious.

I stay at the Hilton Docklands quite often and can't think of *any* shop
in the immediate area, least of all one that looks like the one in the
photograph. That looks as though it's inside something else and I
can't think of anything like that around there. It's housing, a couple
of pubs and the hotel (and it's not inside the hotel).

Curious.

The postcode is allocated *only* to the hotel, which is at 265
Rotherhithe Street. A quick search suggests that 12 Rotherhithe Street
may not exist.

In addition to the other answers you have:

https://www.flamingo-electronics.net/

The top picture on their info page does NOT look like it has any
computers in the shop!

The company logo is different on the two shops.

Strange to just have one branch in South London and one in Milan.

If you download the second picture and enlarge it, it looks like the
name has been Photoshopped.

That logo looks familiar too:

http://www.shop4antiques.com/graphic...ingoHilton.jpg

If they are in UK and Italy, then why are their prices in dollars?

Payment?

"If your order is under 5000 $ USD the only available payment option
will be transfering the money through WesternUnion service
(www.westernunion.com)Reliable, fast and convenient. Millions of people
trust Western Union. "

Haha!

It gets better:

"If your order exeeds 5000 $ USD we can use an escrow service like
LegomEscrow.com . In this case contact us by e-mail with your order. You
will have to sign up at legomescrow.com in order to complete the
transaction."

Look at it!

Look at http://www.legomescrow.com/contact.html

Back to Flamingo:

They have a Verisign "click to verify" logo - it doesn't do anything.

And finally:

Domain Name.......... flamingo-electronics.net
Creation Date........ 2004-09-26
Registration Date.... 2004-09-26
Expiry Date.......... 2005-09-26
Organisation Name.... Nicolette Maxwell
Organisation Address. 1 Thorndale Court
Organisation Address.
Organisation Address. South Elgin
Organisation Address. 60177
Organisation Address. IL
Organisation Address. UNITED STATES

Doesn't match any of the names or addresses elsewhere and a quick Google
doesn't come up with anything at that address, though the street exists.


You haven't given them any money, have you????????

I thought I was being cynical at first, but there's no way they can
possibly be legitimate!

Anyone fancy trying the phone numbers?

Strange coincidence, or not? (See my other post.)

I do not know this shop but the phone number given is a mobile phone.

The Fax number is the same one listed he

http://www.hipermarketing.com/nuevo%...r_agmerca.html

50 COURTFIELD GARDENS- SUITE #4
SW5 OND LONDRES, REINO UNIDO
TEL: 44 20 7900 2566
E-MAIL:
http://www.sponsorclick.com

The "Suite 4" gives it away as almost certainly a shared mailing address
of some kind.

The postcode, according to
http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/addressfinder is a bunch of flats in
Kensington, probably short term rentals.

The domain name has its web site hosted by https://hostingprod.com/ - if
you go to that page, you get Geocities, i.e. Yahoo free web page service.

Emails to this address seem to be routed to a Yahoo server, if I have
used
http://email-test.com/cgi-bin/webtes...d&cmd=mxlookup
correctly.

The postcode is the same as the Docklands Hilton Hotel so maybe you

See my other post! Bizarre, all the same.

could ask someone there if they know the shop.

Totally different contact name on same mobile number.

"With a history of 7 years behind us "

but domain name registered six months or so ago.

Until you look closely, maybe.

Quelle surprise!
