We had no responses to several emails sent from 9/28/2012 to 10/1/2012 when we received confirmation of everything including the delivery date of 10/9/2012 at 9 a.m. We were at the delivery site of 184 Live Oak Road, Springtown, TX 76082 at 9 am. and no delivery has appeared at this time 9:35 p.m. No email or phone responses either. At 2:00 p.m. my husband requested me to search http://www.ask.com for "Is British Transport Fake or Real?" I did and was redirected to www.scamdex.com which showed the emails we recieved almost word for word. It also named Daniel Preston involved with scams with various jet skis and various people. The name Jackie Packet was also mentioned and it was also pointed out that British Transport didn't appear to be real either.
