    Default Should I be Wary?

    Has anyone had any dealings with a company called CS Audio Restorations. They say that they are based in London NW3 but do not have a web site and in any e mail communication do not give a contact name or telephone number?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    If they won't/can't even provide basic contact information, then I'd give them a wide berth.

    Once/if you have that info, and you're keen to try them, ask for 5 reference customers and then contact 2-3 of them at random to see what they say.

    They will only give an area post code...Anyway the exact same ad appears on Yahoo auctions Japan at three times the price so I have drawn my own conclusions

    They are a total scam I have been told they advertise ridiculously cheap hoping there are a few mugs out there, they only accept bank transfers. I know the add you are referring to crazily cheap I dont think anyone would sell that cheap.
