Watch out! The scammers have created a new company so they might be about to start up again. The company is SUNSTOR and here is a clip from the Certificate of Incorporation of a Private Limited Company. Shame on Edmonds Accountancy.
New Name Same Old Scams
This scamming pair are trying to hide their scams.
In December 2015 they renamed the Jumbrolly Company to Sunhaus Ltd.
In May 2016 they changed their registered address from Unit B Central Way Walworth Business Park Andover Hampshire SP10 5AN to 66 Shorton Road Preston Paignton Devon TQ3 1RG.
In June 2015 they voluntarily liquidated Hampshire Garden Furniture Ltd.
Don’t get caught out…they will just be the same con artists.

So how do the scams work?
- Richard Wood is at a show and is a jolly nice chap! You fall for it and show interest in a product. You fill in an ‘inquiry form’. The form is actually an ORDER form. You realise and try to cancel. He sues you and shows the signed order form in court. You lose loads of money.
- Richard Wood asks you to sign an inquiry form but the front sheet is different to the sheets below. The sheets below are actually order forms and the top sheet is a simple inquiry form. Your signature copies through to the sheets below, and you have inadvertently ordered something. You try to cancel. He sues you and shows the signed order form in court. You lose loads of money.
- Richard Wood sells you something at a show. He takes all the money immediately. Nothing turns up. You try to cancel. He sues you and shows the signed order form in court. You lose loads of money.
- Richard Wood takes your contact details. He comes to your house and sells you something. He takes all the money immediately. Nothing turns up. You try to cancel. He sues you.
- Richard Wood sells you something. Half of it turns up eventually. You complain. He says he delivered everything. You are stuffed.
- Richard Wood delivers a perfectly good product, on time and everyone is happy…don’t be daft that never happens!!
The show grounds that he operates at count as BUSINESS PREMISES so you have no right to cancel. All his products count as BESPOKE so you have no cooling off period. He plays the law to his advantage…allegedly.

The ‘factory unit’…real story…
Can you spot the difference? One is a bland rented warehouse and the other is a scam ‘factory unit’ for HGF…allegedly.
One picture is used on the HGF website and the other comes from Google Street View – which do you trust? The units are run by Swattons (Andover) Ltd. Why not ask Swattons how they feel about hosting HGF at their address? Their email address is: info@swattons.co.uk

“Thanks for bringing this to our attention. He’s not traded at our show before and certainly won’t be in the future if he decides to apply”
