Beware of this scam! I looked online for a manual for a Jones sewing machine and these guys said they had one. I clicked through and was asked for €0.90 as payment, which seemed about right. When they confirmed the payment by email, I saw that they mentioned that I had taken out a subscription (I hadn't!), and on checking this out it seems that they will automatically charge you €69.95 after 7 days. I immediately cancelled the subscription by email but am waiting to see if they actually charge me. Then I received a manual by email for an entirely different sewing machine! Not only a scam but useless, too.
A very stressful experience. Their verbal quote was a lot higher than what they actually offered us once they had our money.
On the Monday, Jamie at Regency FX verbally quoted us €1.1714/£, which was better than anyone else on the day. So we transferred our money to them, but by Thursday, he quoted us less than €1.14/£. The spot rate on Google had hardly changed and other FX companies were still quoting around €1.17/£.<br />
Fortunately, we were in no hurry to send the money so asked that they refund us if they couldn't get near €1.17. <br />
By Friday afternoon, Jamie quoted us €1.1647/£, which we reluctantly accepted (to reduce the hassle factor), which seemed to be about average when compared to other FX traders.<br />
Most of the initial reviews we had seen seemed quite positive, but when we looked further, we saw that there were others who had a similar experience.<br />
