Hi everyone,
I thought that I would give you a warning about Adam Blair and his companies.
I put a deposit of £10 on the 24th of December for one of 300 Gemini ProPark units, on the 13th of January 2009 I received an email saying that they were now available and would I pay the balance of £157 which I emediately did making a total of £167.
Now since then I have heard nothing I have rung them on Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thursday this week and have been fobbed off each time and have been told by their "customer services" that they will not give me any other telephone number or email address to contact someone else about non delivery of this item, on the last occasion I was basically told to go away and wait.
Would anyone have a telephone number or email address for this person as I think I have been done up like a kipper.
Thank you. |

I've seen enough of his marketing 'style' to know not to! His BTST Speed Cam device made some frankly laughable claims and his weekly marketing emails continue to give us all a good laugh.
Frankly the ProPark is treading on very thin ice and could earn some unlucky purchaser a prosecution for perverting the course of justice. His emails are quite clearly selling this as a laser jammer.
Were it me and assuming you paid by CC I would be contacting your bank and asking them to reverse the transaction. _________________ Darren Griffin

Why not hit the search button and enter "Blair" you will get a few returns such as This One - check out the others and I am sure you will soon see you are not alone - Mike |

A recent email from him quoted the old hoax story about a Scottish Traffic Officer getting a speed reading on a Harrier and finding out later that his radar caused the Harrier to 'Lock On' leaving him seconds from being on the receiving end of a missile!
Mr Blair told the story not only as being true (it isn't) but as having happened recently. The fact that the hoax story has being going for some years and has been told as occurring in countries world-wide appears to have escaped him!
Doubtless you will find in the end that the delay in sending your order was because he was 'overwhelmed' by demand and had to take on 20 extra staff to service all the orders
Take a look at the Gemini page here. Funny that the images of the SCP van are supposedly from a Talex owner when in fact they are from the www.speedcam.co.uk website Says it all really. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Thanks everyone for your help, again, it's my own fault, I have contacted my Credit Card company and they said I would have to write to them of 14 pages of A4 and then they will try and get my money back, I just had a little chuckle I think I am hysterical as I had to take my wife to A & E today and that took about 5 hours, oh well that's life.
The good news is I have found some nice people on this forum |
