Well over the last 6 weeks we have found several other people who have been ripped off by Charles Shackleton or Les Swainbank. Most recently some colleagues we were in contact with from South Africa returned to Shropshire England to claim their missing goods (items that ordered and paid for but never shipped). My Shackleton wasn't pleased or all that happy to give them their items back. The last contact I had with them involved the local police who were more than happy to assist
I assume with the way Antiques Supermarket does business that police have been involved more than once. The biggest benefit of committing crimes internationally is that there is a great deal of cost involved and prosecuting somebody in those circumstances can be very tricky. So most people just lay dawn and accept they have been shafted. The problem for guys like Charles is not everybody takes this sort of thing laying down. Hopefully our South African friends will be able to post some good information here when they get home.
Updates will be posted as they come in. One more thing there seems to be another fake person involved now. A gentleman by the name of Simon Lofthouse has been signing off on some emails now. He is listed as financial director.... So we have William Darling, Simon Lofthouse, Charles Shackleton and Lez Swainbank.....whenever an email is sent from any of these people there are the same spelling mistakes also when you call the phone numbers on the website and ask for Simon or William no one who answers knows who you are referring to????
