Andrew Brown runs the scamming company Classic Parade Supercar Hire. He offers supercars for rental. Here is the con. At first he will sound very professional over the phone. Discussing your needs and passionate about the car you have chosen. He emails you an invoice for the rental to deposit money via bank transfer into a bank account. Part of this will be the cost of the hire the bulk will be the refundable deposit say £5, 000. You will send the money thinking you are booking a supercar for a special day. The day comes and the wrong car shows up. In some cases no car shows up at all. Penny drops and you realise you've been scammed. You complain and ask for a refund and Opps Andrew Brown now turns into scamming mode. He ignores your calls and emails. He threatens and black mails if you dare to leave a bad review online. He has stolen your money and you won't see it again.
He then desperately continues to posts fake articles and reviews about himself making out classic parade is legit. Clearly an insecure failed businessman. Andrew Brown has been to prison before for doing this. He's now back at it. You only need to google his name and his other scamming company Prestige Cars. I am shocked at how he is getting away with it. I've been a victim of his scamming ways. The police have been informed and Croydon police are already investigating him. I am not the only customer he has done this too. I'm trying to get together as many customers as I can to form a group and get this guy sent back to prison. I won't stop until I get my money back. If you've been a victim of his fraud please comment or message me directly.
Also keep an eye out for Andrews fake response to this complaint.
He won't get away with this.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Hi Lennox, can you contact me on linkedin? you can also reach me at my first name @octaviusfinance.com
there is already a group with many people who have lost money and i can put you in touch with them.
Jobless people.. Keyboard Warriors.. Interesting how Natalie is involved simply because she was turned down for a car and put in her place. After reading her comments she is simply jealous and never booked a car. Perhaps her time of month is here again. MADNESS. Lennox is clear Ashley C again. These forums are full of very sick people.
Octavius Finance is a fake recruitment company. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Ashley C is Natalies husband, they are know by the police for being online blackmailers / scammers. Tilly Mitchell is the ring leader.
I know this is sometime after you posted this.
This same thing has happened to me, can't believe I fell for it and I'm owed £2450. Did you manage to get your money back?
What a shame…paid our deposit of £5000…
What a shame…paid our deposit of £5000 and rental fee for my daughters prom night..totalling £5900 and no car, 2 days before the car was to be delivered, we get an email saying that there was a problem and we couldn’t have the car, thankfully I had a backup plan, we was offered a variety of solutions, book another car from presumably another company, change the date, or a full IMMEDIATE refund..we opted for the refund and 3 weeks later we don’t have our £5900 back, several emails to Andrew and unfortunately the last couple of emails have been ignored, Andrew promised me the money would be refunded 5 days ago but nothing! I will be pursuing this company through the court for the service we paid for but they never provided, we have all of the details they hope we don’t but I really was hoping not to have to go down this route but unfortunately it appears we have been duped, beware of spending any money with this company as it appears you do not get your rental and you do not get your deposit back! You have been warned!

Used Classic Parade before, never had any issues like you are describing. This company has always worked for me.
