I'm using a Mars Hydro TS1000 and a little worried seeing the title of the thread now.

I've gone through quite a few posts and can see people with issues re malfunction and struggles with customer support. Could someone summarise for me, are there specific facts regarding fire risk though? It's pretty extreme language in the title.

I keep one of those automated 'fire ball' things above my tent in case of fire, but I do worry about it.

Did a little online snooping on the weekend. Note, all the below info is publicly available. Quite a few unanswered questions, but feel free to chip in if you have the time to read to the end. lol

For clarity, my typed text is this font and colour. copy and pasted items will be italic and dark grey.



Started with Spiderfarmer since they have an AU website…. Makes life a little easier.

AUSTRALIA






Once again, the same name, Wenhua Hu.

Googling the Chinese address, gives the following map. Almost seems appropriate that Fuxing Village is in close proximity to FuxingCun. Lol


fuxing village.png



Zooming in on the satellite imagery, doesn’t look to be a lot going on in Fuxing Village. I couldn’t find the actual address listed.



Fuxing cun.png



Now, on to the Australian address.



Cao Ren
8 Anchor Street,
Seabrook Victoria.


I googled the name and I don’t think it is a coincidence that it is a great Chinese warrior born in the year 168AD… lol.


Cao Ren.png




I will bet that is exactly what he looked like 2000 years ago. Lol. They have such good record keeping the Chinese.

Anyhow, so had a look at the Victorian address, which is a little easier to investigate than the address in FuxingCun!

Cao obviously loves a spot of fishing, betting both those boats have seen their fair share of undersized Bream and Jennys 😉


8 anchor street.png




This property was last sold in June, 2020.

https://www.domain.com.au/property-profile/8-anchor-court-seabrook-vic-3028

Previous to which it appears to have been rented.

Curiously, the owners name is not actually Cao Ren, but is instead: GUANXIANG BI

Guanxiang currently holds an Australian Business Number, but as a Sole Trader, not registered for GST. ABN 73 601 017 717. Primary place of business is listed as Ballarat.



In regard to the above, I am not convinced that any of the names or addresses have anythign to do with Spiderfarmer, but if we can see any similarities between the info uncovered for Spiderfarmer and Mars, that might get us a bit closer to the truth. ..



Mars Hydro to follow in the next post (stupid word limit on posts!!)

Mars Hydro is a little harder. They don’t register AU domains.

Some contact details are provided on their website.

COSTUMER SERVICE

Monday to Friday: 08:30–17:50(GMT+8)

Email: info@marshydroau.com

Tel: +86 18328811356 (imessage only)

Address: C1206, Lingbo Residence, Building 26, Guifang Garden, Baoling Community, Nanwan Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China




The address does not seem to exist. There is a Nanwan Road, Long Gang Qu, Shen Zen Shi… strange they cannot even get their own address correct. Google map below of Nanwan Road.

However, I then searched Australian trademarks for Mars Hydro, figuring if they were the same company, they would register both trademarks....


And you guessed it, Mars Hydeo also has a trademark registered, though they have obviously forgotten to update it….. Anyone wanna lodge a trademark over their current logo and then sue them? Lol.

Slightly different address to that given on Mars Hyrdo website, but in the same area.


Now, note the Trademark owners names for both Spiderfarmer and Mars Hydro:


Spiderfarmer: Wenhua Hu

Mars Hyrdo: Yanwen Hu



I mean, surely that cannot be a coincidence!!

I doubt very much either of those people actually exist.



Anyway, so continuing on. The Address for service for the Mars Hyrdo trademark is a locked back in Keperra, Queensland.

Searching this address provides the following links on google:

Now, the website does not go anywhere, but takes you to a domain for sale page with a phone number to call Dan on 02 84889938, which makes sense as the tech contact is a Daniel Purser, whilst the domain is registered to Light Globe King Pty. Ltd.... now we are getting somewhere!! lol

The company has been registered since 2004, but there is very little information online about them, except the following in search engines. But all "lighting" related, so looks like it is linked.

And once again, the same name shows up, Daniel Purser as the tech, with the registrant as Equipment Warehouse Pty. Ltd.

A search of that ABN provides the following details, along with a string of what seem like fake addresses across the gold coast.

View attachment 31582

Still need to find more links between Spiderfarmer and Mars, but the trademark registrant names seem like a reasonable start.
Both fake names in order to avoid paying a bucketload of tax each year? Welcome any input ;)

Does anyone know what years both the companies came on the seen and started advertising?

Both companies appeared around 2010. One before and one after I think. Might be wrong but Mars is the older by one or two years
