OC - I see at an address in North Finchley, London. Doesnt yet say what the company is for. Karl Jackson is the only director/shareholder.

As I thought he will pull the plug on all his old companies and start with another one.

He's probably had to use an acccommodation address as his last company listed his home address as the company address and he doesn't want to be found if it all goes pear shaped again.

Is that not 'very-tell-trading-standards' illegal?

Has anyone heard anything, and is Toro CSC still trading as people are concerned about other events they have entered?

I personally suspect that Toro CSC has gone and there wont be any other events, I just hope for those who have parted with hard earned cash in these hard times that they either get there money back or there are actually events that will be ran....

If Mr Jackson does setup another events business I just hope that everyone boycots them and no one enters, people should not be allowed to do these things.

Unfortunately it is legal to do so (but obviously morally wrong) and happens all the time.

Here is a website found from google, its not officially live but still online he must have forgot to pull this one aswell.

www.torocsc.com/dev/

and looking at his events his entry pages on active europe are still open for entries. However there are no official websites so who knows whats going on?

I think best advice would be NOT to hand over any more monry to this guy until situation clear.

Stander...I agree 100%....looking like some very bad business practices going here with this one. One could assert that they 'took the money and ran' as no-one has heard from them since the 'cocked-up' the event...(disclaimer: I am sure this is not true so don't sue me)
