Based in Luton wasn't he?
I've just bought (or thought I'd bought) a Vax carpet cleaner at a reasonable price. However, it turns out that "We have had a slight accident at our warehouse today and are unable to ship your item. However, we are confident that we can supply the item in the near future."
Searching, with hindsight, for the original company behind the eBay username via Trustpilot, amongst others, shows that precise excuse being used so many times that if it wasn't so dire it would be risible. Those are the least vitriolic of this firm's reviews as well. Some of their ridiculous lies and delaying tactics really do put one in mind of a certain individual.
OK, I'll get my money back from fleabay... eventually.
The company, you'll be unsurprised to learn, is based in Luton.
Does the local authority wherein Luton is situate provide an entrepreneurial start-up scheme for fraudsters and scam artists or something?
