There is no such company as Aqua-trix Limited. There is an Aquatrix in Scotland which, if it is the same company, has no accounts on file and overdue returns.

This mob it clone a firm that is genuine and then run off their companies house info etc. they always ask for moneys to be TT and will give you some story about how they are new old stock and they are bringing them in to the UK on the back of boats so they can avoid the tax on the motor and just pay it on the boat…. How this works, or not I don’t know and or care.

They are sneaky and convincing

The only good thing is that they always use a .co.cc address so easy to spot
