A couple of months ago we ran a story about an online retailer called GC’s PCs, and their spectacularly-young head honcho, the spectacularly-named 16-year old Gary Cooper.
With links to forums where the shady activities of GC’s PCs had been discussed at length, including allegations of unauthorised payments taken from credit cards, non-delivery of goods or the wrong goods being delivered, it was clear that this was a company that wouldn’t be in it for the long haul.
At the time, the GC’s PCs website itself had disappeared from the world wide web – to this day it hasn’t returned. It looks like it never will - yesterday, this statement was made by Essex Police.
Quote:
“Police arrested three people after attending two addresses in Canvey and Benfleet at on Monday morning, May 11, 2009, as part of a joint investigation with Trading Standards into the online company GC’s PCs.”
“A former director, a man aged 52 from Benfleet, the current managing director, a 16-year-old boy from Benfleet, as well as a 49-year-old woman who is a former director of the company were arrested and released on police bail pending further enquiries to 11 August”.
