Default I've been scammed!!! WARNING FOR ALL

Should have researched the company on the web. moto-racing.co.uk

They've scammed loads of others. I spent 34 quid for some foot pegs nearly 2 weeks ago. Took the money and not a peep since then. They never answer the phone or email back. Remember the name so that non of you guys lose money:

moto-racing.co.uk

How did you pay ?

" I contacted my credit card company, lodged a dispute and asked them to investigate. Amazingly I then got an email two days later and the pads arrived two days after that "
( From the MCN link )

I bought a set of s/s braided brake hoses off them the year before last and it took around five attempts and several weeks to get the right ones sent. They were pretty hopeless.

This information shows that the domain is not registered to a company but to an individual, the address given above may be the owners home address.

The address they give on their website is also a residential address, the company TA (Hi-Way Transport) does not seem to exist but the VAT number is genuine, from that VAT number I have found the following information:

D Riley
11 Pinewood Road
Matlock
DE4 3HN

Phone number registered at this address is - 01629 582654.
This number is different from the one shown on their website.

I paid with CC. My bank has asked for a copy of the order and their terms and conditions (not sure why).
