That was the right company.
Should I do business with this company?

Dear mint3789,

I assume that you are referring to this earlier question:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=715234

The brief answer is: I recommend that you don't do any business with that company.

Evidence suggests they are a scam, for the following reasons:

- For a British company, the legal form "Inc." is incorrect. If they
were an actual registered UK company, their legal form would be Plc.
or Ltd.

- There is only one company of the name Microvault Limited listed in
the database of registered UK companies. However, neither are they
located in Manchester, nor have they been founded in the year 2000.
Nothing suggests that they have anything at all in common with
Microvault Inc.

- At ECplaza, another business-to-business marketplace website,
Mircovault Inc. appears with the same range of products and with Tony
Raymore as their representative, too - but now they are suddenly a US
company, located in Bloomington, Illinois:

Of course, there is no Microvault Inc. registered in the state of Illinois.

- Apart from the address of the obviously fraudulent company
Microvault Inc., I did not find any evidence that there is a building
named "IFS House" in Manchester (that's what the abbreviation MCR in
the address stands for).

- The alleged UK address, with the exception of the "IFS House" part,
AND the alleged US address have BOTH been copied from two branches of
eXpansys:
http://www.mobileplanet.com/company.asp
http://www.expansys.com/company.asp

- I did not find a website for Microvault Inc. anywhere. It is hard to
believe that a "company" that claims to exist since six years now has
not yet managed to get a website of their own and has instead to rely
on business-to-business marketplaces like EC21. The fact that they
registered with EC21 only recently, on 19 January 2006, makes one
wonder how they did business in all the years before - I did not find
other marks of them on the Web. Actually, this fake company is
certainly not older than their registration with EC21.

All these shady lies and obvious attempts of deception show clearly
that Microvault Inc. is a scam. I recommend to avoid any kind of
contact with them.

Regards,
Scriptor

Excellent feedback,the guy is still emailing me though.Thank you again
for your thorough answer

I recently did a transaction with Tony Raymore through paypal. Weird
thing is that he had a secretary to handle payment using secretary's
Paypal account.

Initially, we contact through email, he was polite and responsive, and
agreed to accept my order for 5 ipod video as sample, for total $1120.

After received my payment through his secretary's paypal account, he
even send me UPS tracking label.

But I never receive delivery. He explained that there are some payment
issue with paypal.

After argue a couple of time thru email, he agreed to refund me.

Even stranger thing is that his secretary is located in another
location city of Cal, she claimed she never know TOny personally, and
she never knew I did not receive delivery. She is just hired by Tony
for receiving paypment thru her paypal account, and sending money to
supplier.

So we both realized that we are all scammed by Tony Raymore. Tony used
her identity to take the risk of paypal tracking.

So who is Tony Raymore, we dont know. He is witty, he hires other
people to do paypal, he is never verified.

Be aware, his UPS tracking label is a trick, .. still very strange
,his sending address is not IL, not UK, this time is NY

If you go to ecplaza.net, search for WIFIGAMES, ha ha.. You find that

Of course, I filed paypal claim against him, actually his secretory,
who seems like another victim.
