Hello London Citizens,

I'm a Dutch student living in the Netherlands. Recently I saw an advertisement of someone, who wants to sell his motorbike for an astonishing low price. I agreed on buying, and now he has passed me the following website of an elegible London company called LorexTrans. (google doesn't give a lot of hits...). The site is the name, with www. .com. Is there anybody familiar with this transportation company? Is it a fake? Even London Yellow Pages doens't come up with anything. And I don't feel comfortable sending money to some company which can't be contacted or looked up anywhere.

thanks in advance!

Learn to use the look-up facility. LorexTrans.com is registered to an
address in Scotland

117 Blackcraigs
Kirkcaldy, Fife KY2 6TN

with an administrative contact

Birrell, Debra

and that record was created on 23-Sep-2008.

Not likely for a company which claims to have been around since 1994.

Quite right. Why not send me your money instead? I can sell you a very
nice property here called Buckingham Palace.

goed geluk

Thanks Robin for the information. Perhaps I'd rather not buy at all from this vendor.

Furthermore, I'm not interested in buying Buckingham Palace: I contacted the current owner, and they informed me they aren't interested in selling! :P Never liked the neighberhood anyway...

kind regards,

P

and the address appears to be residential, again unlikely for a 1994
company.
