    Beware of holloway parts

    Hi all, I've not been stung but I reckon its a fake site, there is something not right about only accepting bank transfers. They are listing all kinds of NLA parts.

        I checked https://hollowayparts.com/de/

        something fishy. on the contact page it says they are located in germany, but when setting the site language to german, not all is correct, like the use of the word "heimat" on a button that takes you to the home page and still some phrases in english. Also for a German site there should have been a proper info page on the owner/publisher ("impressum"), which is not there

          Yep, if you put in your details it says that your card isn't accepted HOWEVER, the site saves your details and then tells you to pay by BT! They are total scammers. Also, if you receive an email from them the signature say "Holoways Parts Inc", German businesses are never "Inc". The website absolutely reeks of rip off!
