Hi all, I'm not sure if it is the good place to post it on the forum but it is the one that I found would be the best. Here's the thing,in short, for what I need help. Do any of you living in London know about a courrier named "pss couriers" http://www.psscouriers.com/ Because somebody wants to sell me his laptop using this courier from London to Montreal (Canada), but something smells bad about it: 1st: The price is ridiculously low 2nd: He absolutly wants to use this courier, which doesn't have a contact number on its web site and reply to email with a lot of english mistakes and without a signature at the end (very unprofessional). Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'm pretty sure it's a rip-off but at the same time I don't want to pass an awesome deal if people tell me that pss couriers is good (I'm suppose to pay to them and then they give him the money when I authorize it i.e. when I check the laptop is as described)
Never heard of it, Orpington is outside of London, but I've never heard of a family run business for a courier service, especially an international one! Does look a bit dodgy, there is barely any info about this company anywhere on google!, but if you want to be on the safe side say you are willing to pay extra for using a different courier. The phone number is 01689 850233 if you want it - from directory listings.
Thanks a lot for the input...there is always a catch when something looks too good to be true....hehehe
def a scam for starters a small company like that can NOT ship internationally without outsourcing. so it would be much cheaper for him to use any large proper courier. also on the tracking bit, enter a random number and you get a 404 no matter how many digits you use. the website also has no mention of prices, location, contact details etc. pretty bad if your a business. surely the website is to get customers? not let them see you but have no way to contact you or find out how much your services are. also its hosted on 1and1's servers so its probably worth contacting them to tell them its fake

Why is it all registered in the United States? Probably want to avoid getting arrested by the British Police. I think this is a case for the police so you should report it ASAP to the UK and US states police for fraud. Good job you asked about the courier first!
I wanted to thank you all. I really appreciate your help. And I wont even bother to reply to that guy. Thanks a lot!!! edit: LOL, on the whois above the website is registered with a @yahoo.com email...
'After almost 30 years delivering consignments, Practical Services (Southern) Ltd are able to deliver a high standard of results, regardless of your requirements.' blatently a fake.
