One thing I have used to good effect is Google " streetview. All British/English businesses must now have a published postal " address on their website to trade online - if they don't, don't buy. Typing " the address into Google can be very revealing about the kind of operation " you may be dealing with. It's not an absolute solution, but it can give you " a clue. I've seen "traders" with really impressive websites making out they " are some huge corporation - where the address is a tiny house or tiny empty " shop. there are also scammers who represent that they are at a british address - seems to make the fish more trusting... but they can be anywhere in the world. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
