Did a bit of research, here is my take:
Supposedly, their address is in Trafalger Mews. Supposedly, that's where a Vinegar factory used to be that was transformed into a mixed use environment. So you've got some shops, companies and some apartments.
Here is what the street looks like:

In essence, the street is not exactly reflective of the fancy store front that is pictured on their Web site.
Smells like a scam to me, especially when the checks are to be made out to OFELIA BORNEA TATIANA and not the name of the company.
Don't do it. -

Does anybody here live in a concrete apartment high rise. I currently live in a low rise (wood structure) and the sound isolation is just horrid. I have heard from a few people that apartments made of concrete (usually high rises) are much more sound proof then wood. Anybody have some experience in... -
This cop drama is based on an original story and screenplay by James Elroy (L. A. Confidential ) and that was reason enough to get my interest in this film. It stars Keanu Reeves as a detective in a special squad that makes its own rules. It's headed by Forest Whitaker. Nasty things happen that get... -
I caught an interview with Michael Douglas on the tube a couple of nights ago. Douglas said Oliver Stone has approved a script and will be announcing cast members shortly for a Wall Street sequel.
