Is this another Dash Coaches?

[Eagle]

Still sticking with the now-inaccurate name though...

(Also I notice they spell their name three different ways on that page, as Leelon, LeeLon and Lee-Lon.)

Wow, a Flash based site this time around.

If there's one good thing from all of this, it's a great way of eliminating possible sites to use to build a website!

Maybe we should go and create our very own LeeLon sites (as a tribute, of course) to see if he might get a world record for the number of sites created for the same (fake) business?

Hi Andrew,

Once again I notice that the LeeLon Travel website and Facebook page are unavailable. Please can you once again confirm that the coach on 15 December will still be running? Are there any other passengers travelling on this coach or will we be able to sit anywhere we like on this coach?

Dear Charlie,
I can confirm the coach on 15th on December is still running and you can sit anywhere onboard this coach, Sorry for the late reply as I have been out of office the last couple of days.

Many Thanks

I am sure you can sit anywhere - even in the driver's seat!

The coach will be at some depot locked up, so you have to find it first and then work out how to get on. :roll:

 

[jon0844]

Yes. It will be a magical adventure! Make sure you've also got cash for fuel too.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Lol yeah. Making me feel tempted to book now

 

[BestWestern]

This is dragging on rather, is he still at it? Has anyone sent this prat a message just telling him to p*ss off?!

Sorry to be curt, just a thought!

 

[Blindtraveler]

I wonder??????

 

[Dennis]

only just got round to reading the latest routeone webzine, got a few paragraphs about these 'operators' in there. Doesn't inspire much confidence.

The article is technically incorrect though.

A limited company registered in the UK must provide details of the registered company name, company number and registered address on both the website and any email marketing campaigns. However, this does not apply to sole traders nor to companies registered outside the UK (unless local laws say otherwise.)

However, as he collects personal data he must register with the information commissioner.

But...he claims he is a limited company!

 

[jon0844]

Well his company certainly seems very limited...

And if an organisation isn't one of limited liability (company (Ltd/PLC) or partnership (LLP)), the owners are personally liable for any losses and/or outstanding debts.

The only logical explanation I can think of is that this is some GCSE coursework about a fictional company that has been put online......It's clearly not a real Company, though it could be a fraudster trying to get gullible illiterate people to part with their cash.

I have seen a page on Linkedin that states this person attended Minsthorpe Community College from 2002-2007, so according to these dates, he will be in his early 20's by now, which would rule out GCSE coursework in 2012.

I suppose that information shown on Linkedin may well have been given fraudulently, as much of the other information that emanates from him, from what I have read from postings upon this thread.

That would have been interesting back on Page 1

Against my better judgement I've made the payment, just waiting for my e-tickets now.
If anyone wants 2 tickets from Sheffield to Chesterfield on Saturday, December 15, 2012 let me know.

EDIT: E-ticket has arrived, it's a late one:

So in a couple of hours time you should be on your way from Sheffield to Chesterfield! Do let us know how you get on.

So did the bus run then? If not, can someone now report him to the police for obtaining money by deception?

Still there, albeit at a different host.

I am sure that telstarbox will let us know as soon as he can.

 

[telstarbox]

I'm afraid I wasn't able to be in Sheffield at that time so guess we'll never know!

 

[Blindtraveler]

havent checked but is he0still advertising a night service from Edinburgh down the east coast?

 

[Darandio]

Still there, albeit at a different host.

And looking as professional as ever!

Only promblem with current booking form is that there has to be at least 1 adult 1 child and 1 infant and that people aged 60plus can't book any tickets

By the way, what IS the vibrant city off Leeds? And how far off from Leeds is it?!

I never knew there were so many free website creators out there though. I'm surprised more businesses don't use them to save costs.

It a secret place, which is also where the bus picks up from

As the creator of the "Closed Stations Journey" quiz, perhaps I should consider using one of the free website creators to do one for me, using the quiz idea for "journeys of railway remembrance".

Anyone for a run up on the Wick and Lybster Light Railway....

LeeLon Travel Services website is still there for all to see. Did anyone find out any detailed information about them recently ?
