Dear skynetsex,

They are a scam, with all typical signs of such frauds:

- The domain "fast-shippers.com" has been registered using the name
and address of one John Peterson from New York who (should he exist at
all) certainly does not even know that his contact data has been used
by those fraudsters.
http://www.allwhois.com/cgi-bin/allwhois.cgi

- The domain has only been registered on 6 August 2005, and the
registration exprires already on 6 August 2006. That means, it's a
"disposable" domain as only scam businesses use them. Besides,
Fast-Shippers claim that they have been founded already in 1998. 7
years before registering their own domain is quite a long time - far
too long to be credible.

- They demand payment via Western Union. This is typical for scams
because the victim can't track where the money is going, and can not
call it back. Reputable companies offer other, better ways of payment.
Only scam businesses insist on Western Union payments.

- They say they exist since 1998 and serve hundreds of cities all over
the world. Yet they have left virtually no traces on the Internet.
That means they are lying. This "business" is no older than their
website.

- And finally, this "company" does not show up in the official UK
database of registered companies:
http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/WebCHeck/fastrack/

They are clearly a scam. I advise not to do any business with them.

There was a similar question on Google Answers a little while ago but
it seems to have been removed by the editors. I commented that the
site has several copies such as
www.alliancedeliveries.com/

The main thing I noted was the description of the company  is almost a
direct copy of the latter part of UPS?s  company history.

Answerfinder-ga,
I saw your comment; that passage lifted from UPS!?
Apparently GA-Editors no longer advise by email when they delete comments.
