The postcode matches the street address in Google maps, but I'm sure that doesn't mean much at all!

Prices of some of the engines look a bit to good to be true.
Pics. of the boats are taken all over the place i.e UK, USA.
UK address does not look right.

I would be very careful, but if I am wrong let me know I wouldn't mind an engine at those prices.

Found this posted on their site:

"This domain is under examination at the moment.

It will be finished within 24 hours!"

verytricky · 24-01-2009, 12:35 AM

It is currently the registered address for about 75 companies, several of which are under investigation for fraud, including mobile phone fraud. (PRIMUS COMMUNICATIONS ) - known from Watchdog.

Even have the house plans if interested - not a very big place. It is actually residential, no business development at all.

Africa , Boatec , JE HArgrave , Jubilee service station, mt scaffolding, JR & E associates, primus connumications, OMOYA entertainment, Blunt arts, beresford building co, united art contact, edorix, us computers (UK), Cheshire wildlife trust, valid security services, snappy design, HA Burton, Bridge development consultants, edorsac, willovale factors, george artwork, bonnie cook, us comminications and networking, rebecca mcfayden consulting, wixon gibbs, g14 art studio, jsk contracts, knowles and christou construction, missing link communications, resturant spy, integrated consultancy, ribe development, looma, AA&T scaffolding, j howwitt and son, impressium, a way with words, pyradean building, eadie developments.

They previously had just three things: telecom business, building trade, art dealing and now - selling boat engines.

About 2/3 are closed by companies house or non trading.

Oh, and several charities, ALL of which are 'documents overdue' by the charities commission. ( THE MISSING FOUNDATION

Address is correct.
Also rediding at that address is MR EDWARD READ, and MRS SUSAN MARSHALL-MANIFOLD, who appear on a few of the other company lists as directors.

A current real telephone number apparently is 020 8878 6572

It's a voice or fax to email transfer/forwarding service and a favourite with the scammers as they think it gives them a kosher looking UK contact number.
If you see 070 as a contact number it's worth avoiding them.

As for scams...try posting on Ebay.co.uk on the "want it now" section, anyone had a go?...

Have a go and see what you get back in about 1-2hrs...

It amazes me how the idiots keep trying!, sad really.....

alexcway · 17-02-2009, 09:28 PM

I just found this site:

http://www.boat4fun.co.cc/

sounds pretty much the same you are talking about.
I was thinking too buying a nice boat from him, but after reading this thread my mind changed.

Oh and i already contacted him.
Pick up or looking at the boat is not possible....

After some emails he mailed a an invoice.
Now he wants me to pay about 4700€.
Now i am trieng to make a compromise with him.
Will see what happen, i will let you guys know.

Hi all, a week ago I contacted Aquatrix Ltd. looking for a jetski. Lot of models and very cheap prices not just for products but freight (they offered me to deliver the PWC to Argentina at just 320 pound with all taxes included !!). Then, looking into the internet for more info about them I found your comments. I am almost sure they are same people (same Fax Nbr but different address) and same scammers.

http://www.aquatrix.co.cc/

More, I got today the same answer as Tony Davis got some time ago...

Hello,
We will deliver the product directly from our US. supplier. That's why you have the testing period. You can test it and if you don't like it you can ask for a full refund.You will have to place your order, after that make the payment and as soon as our bank will confirm the transfer we will enable delivery to your agent address.

Thank you for your interest.
Regards
Mark
