    Default Astute Merchant done a runner

    We have a shopping cart with Astute Merchants hosted by them for our jetski site.

    They seem to have disappeared no phone numbers are being answered.

    answer phone directs us to Gold Traders Direct but no answer on there phone.

    Our site is down so of some concern.

    anyone know who ,what or where. Guy seems to be Johnathan Peebles.

    The Old Bake House
    Mill Lane, Lapworth
    Solihull, West Mids B946JX


    As it was set up by my partner years ago and is hosted by them we do not have a copy of the site.

    Any help much appreciated.

    This is why it pays to use someone you can rely on. At least I know where Phil lives

    I recognise that address - must be a business centre or something as I have done some work with another company based there.

    I can try and get in touch and see if they know anything of the whereabouts of Astutue Merchants if you think it might help?

    Drop me a PM if I can help.

    Problem is with no DB access you would need to reconstruct the store from scratch. You might be able to get the coding using the Internet Archive but this is not a reliable method.

    Is it a UK domain?

    Latest update on our sorry saga.

    Jonathan Peepall rang me to say he had sold the company 2 years ago to a guy named steve Walters .

    www.digitalarkitec.com

    121 Eastern Avenue
    Lichfield, STAFFORDSHIRE WS13 6RL

    So I ring the number answer phone left message.

    Later I get a call from a vicar. ( very worrying at my age )

    to say that Steve Walters & co had left 121 Eastern Avenue
    Lichfield, STAFFORDSHIRE WS13 6RL in April.

    Anyone got any info on this lot much appreciated.

    We are having to drug my partner in order to stop him doing his favourite party trick on the said Steve Walters when found.

    He may have a limited company but it won't be limited enough
