You'd think trading standards or whoever would be involved by now...

I have informed Trading Standards (via Citizens Advice Bureau), and they have replied with a shed load of helpful advice.

In summary:

"We will share the information you have provided to Trading Standards, there is no commitment for them to contact you directly, Trading Standards will only contact you if they deem it necessary. Whilst this does not help you resolve your dispute, it gives Trading Standards vital intelligence on how a trader is conducting their business."

In other news, the credit card company have refunded the full amount.

Lessons learned:

1. Check ratings before you commit
2. Use a credit card

Their web site states they have been taken over:

Parent Company
As of Q4 2022 Super Tweaks has been taken over by the Huamsin Motor Group Co. Huamsin Motor Group Co was founded in the 1980s as a trading company, based predominantly in Hong Kong. The group also includes various other motor businesses. These businesses are leaders in the sectors of motor vehicles.

Huamsin Motor Group Co business ethos has always involved a constant evolution to keep up with the pace of modern times; with a long history of innovation, creating opportunities, developing new businesses and delivering positive change.

This is not reflected in the information from Companies House:

https://find-and-update.company-informatio...y/07842735

Their address is serviced offices.

Good luck with trying to get your money back![/i]

After a bit more digging, I think the Huamsin Motor Co is a bit of a blag; if you search them out on Companies House, you'll see they don't actually exist.

However there is a chap with the surname Huamsin who shares a previous address with the aforementioned SuperTweaks, namely 71-75, Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9JQ.

This address is shared with another 290,910 other companies, starting to look a bit dodgy to me.

In summary, I reckon they're scammers and hopefully people will stumble across this thread before they shell out any cash.

Sorry to hear people have been had by a scam.

Perhaps change the thread title to something like "Super Tweaks London - Scam", it might stand out a bit more in a forum or Internet search and alert potential victims.
