Also trading as LMG products. They say there is a problem with the payment system and you must pay by payment transfer or check.I chose payment transfer. LMG PRODUCTS sort code: 54-10-59 account number 19606761. I purchased a £169 projector on 15th March it\'s now April 19th. Not the only punter ripped off. Constantly apologies to until lat friday when my details were removed from their website so I could not log in. Also the mail boxes etc service they use in Leeds is aware of the problem but indicate that this has only occurred since Friday and they have been with them for a while. Geoff told me from Officestore24 that the items come from China and awaiting clearance by customs. Possible that the items have been confiscated as counterfeit. Mail Boxes Etc have disclosed data protected information to West Yorkshire trading Standards. That is definitely the bank account details I sent payment too.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Website looks genuine,I purchased projector for £288, when I tried to pay, it wouldnt a ccept payment. I rang the freephone number and Geoff advised that sysrem was down but I could send a cheque and that items would be delivered within 3 weeks. Cheque cashed, no items delivered. Rang them 4 times in 4 weeks, each time they say that items havent cleared customs yet but will soon. On the last conversation I asked for a refund, they said theyd send a cheque within 5 days. No cheque has arrived. Website still operational but I cannot contact them anymore. I sent a recorded letter to their address and someone called thor signed for it. Still waiting to hear. Not hopefull of getting my money back. I think I,ve been robbed

I have paid this organisation £683 and the goods have not been received. The website looks legitimate but it appears to be a scam. I have phoned and emailed this organisation but had no joy.
