Good Trader Snowdon Computers

HI Neil,

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I think at the end of the day, anybody who wants to independantly verify a business especially if they use the internet and ebay can easily go onto the references from your clients.

The problem with the internet Niel, is that the internet is so easy to be anonymous, and this makes people become paranoid for good reason, anybody can say anythign without fear of people knowing who they are. This makes it easy for 1/ pranksters. 2/ Disgruntled clients. 3/ Competitors to say or write negative things.

I think most people will just read and think it is "rather strange"..but perhaps it is just innocent, if you look at troys postings on google, you will see he's a long history of posting, he is not a newcommer to the internet, and has been posting on newsnet for a numer of months.

Anyhow, it is a bit of a mystery. As you can see, the "interest" generated has been quite large, however, I feel the "interest" is due to the "mystery" part of it, the "conundrum" rather than the content, if you take my point.

The two main articles in law that relate to the selling of goods are the "sale of goods act" and "consumer credit act" one concerns how you advertise an describe what your selling and your legal statutory rights under this act, and the second concerns itself with people who buy your products on their credit cards. Basically meaning that if someone bought something on a uk credit card and there is a problem with the supplier, the "credit card company" can be sued.....and held responsible...believe it or not.

So if you bought a falty computer but you paid with your barclaycard. Then Barclaycard can be held responsible, and can be sued for you loosing your money on a faulty computer.

Anybody know any further details on consumer legislation?

I think Neil wants to know what is being written about him though.

Sainsbury's trade under that name. They are big warehouse size supermarkets and there is one near me.

I'm sure laws will be brought in to make camera monitoring in cyber cafes compulsory.

Presently outside CCTV can be used if available.

I am talking exclusively about cyber cafes where their is no monitoring and further more offices which can be used on an adlib and anonymous basis, in third world countries and in other countries no such law will be enforced let alone be introduced. In the UK there is not even any draft proposals to bring in such a law that I am aware of.

How about the use of anonymous pay per talk mobile phones that you simply purchase cards for, it is easy to anonymously purchase these cards and these mobile phones. Even you can buy them from millions of locations that you can ensure if ever their is a chance to trace the mobile phone, you can't trace who bought it. Hence the pure anonymity.

I know of a case where a "pay as you talk" mobile phone was purchased this was used in an operation to try to steal some priceless jewelewry, however, the "authorities" where able to trace the mobile phone via "cell phone tracing technology", as the phone was a "pay as you go" they could only trace it to the point of origin, in the UK, they then managed to trace the mobile phone to the day it was purchased (stock control), then could trace the person due to the "installed cameras" at the purchasing counter...and therefore narrowed it down to had purchased the particular phone. They caught the culprits in the end.

The point is that it relies on being traced somewhere along the route...total anonymity is easily possible, particularly if you purchase a pay as you go mobile phone, or obtain a pay as you go mobile phone without any possible connection to yourself.. Presumably those criminals who wish to use the internet would easiliy manage this. It is so simple a school boy could do it. Or anybody travelling abroad.

People would have to go to third world countries to take advantage of this which would be a certain deterent. To be part of the global internet it is necessary to have global rules and I feel these will be introduced eventually.

It is not difficult to get hold of a "pay as you go mobile phone" in the UK, nor is it difficult to find a small internet cafe without cameras. You may go to countries such as Eastern Europe where there are no cameras in the streets as you have in the UK if you are a really paranoid criminal, you may fly to morocco, you may fly to anywhere on these very cheap Go flights. So if a criminal wishes to save money, it is very easy to do. You may even hire someone to get you a "pay as you go" telephone..It is simple...very very simple..you can get access to the internet if you have cash with no trace back at all.

Agreed. You are right. It is a question of how far the authorities want to fight these things.

Correct.

I wish I knew what exactly is going on but a few of us

Twaddle, don't waste your energy on this line of enquiry, I am deleting my posts so the IR/VAT theory isn't valid either.

I got cross because you called me obsessed. Last week I spent two hours maybe reading some of your (and kickaround's) posts in Google, because it is humorous and instructive. If I *am* obsessed it is with your "painting by numbers" instruction manual on how to make £700 a week in your spare time in your first year with all technical info and guidance.

What insurance do I need? How much is carriage? How do I arrange payment? What are my T&C's? Suppose the customer won't pay? How do I recognise a dodgy geezer? Whatever I want to know is there free gratis, including my first years accounts, and now I've got another post to delete.

I am not Troy of the auction house (he he he) or Troy of Peterborough.
