Charge Your Laptop, From Your Laptop
Can anyone confirm that this is a load of cobblers*? Or am I missing something?

Good piece of detective work, Holmes! I wonder if he is selling to "upscale"?
This seems to be a nice little earner, as the website indicates:

If you folow through to the google checkout you do get a southport address (might though be an innocent person)
Trading standards really should be informed about this idiot

Reported to Google as he/she, but almost certainly he, is using Google Checkout.

Re: Charge Your Laptop, From Your Laptop
Being a named person on a domain name whois and designing a webpage is different than owning the company. The limo company may or may not be owned by the same person

Re: Charge Your Laptop, From Your Laptop
So are you saying that a webdesign business isn't allowed to do a job for a next door business without first owning the company??? Never go by a WHOIS as to who owns the company either as a lot of domains are registered in the name/address of the web designer especially if the company owner is an IT numpty..
In the end it's neither here nor there.. No-one here is stupid enough to purchase a licence to produce a device that is literaly saying that it's creating perpetual energy. As Ignitionnet has said if you have a problem with it complain to google or as I said get in contact with trading standards but publishing thier address and trying to link them to other companies (which may or may not be correct) isn;t really what people should be doing in this thread.
