Scam Warning

[Marcel]

We've just been notified by Trading Standards....

Regarding www.camerafamily.co.uk

The address given for the business on the website is actually that of a van hire business in Glossop, Derbyshire who know nothing of Camerafamily. The telephone number given on the website is actually that of an elderley Glossop resident who is fed up having to field enquiries about cameras! We have tried to trace the owner of this business and have established that payment for cameras is to be made by Moneygram to a Sergey Degtyarev. Moneygram is intended as a means of sending a money transfer to family or friends and is an inherently unsafe means of paying for goods. Moneygram have no records of a Sergey Degtyarev.

You may wish to advise your readers to be aware of this website and to regard it as a probable scam.

So there it is, from the horses mouth. Scam

That elderley Glossop resident should have grasped the chance and start selling cameras

The site has been taken down now, it shows the Russian hosting companys blurb.
