Somewhere in the world there is a TelxWeb, a Telx Computers and a Telx Group. But are they really who, what and where they say they are?

Don't believe everything you read in press releases from PRWeb like this one:

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/11/prweb10068852.htm

The first sentence says "TelxWeb is a web design company in Miami...", but is it?  Here is their domain name registrant:

John Smith
unica33@hotmail.com
Name Register
523 South Ave
NY, New York 10056
United States
+1.2124594756

http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=telxweb.com&prog_id=GoDaddy

"John Smith" may or may not be a fake name, but "212-459-4756" is not a working number and according to Google Maps "523 South Ave, New York NY 10056" is not a real address.  TelxWeb does list three more addresses:

Miami, FL
17401 NW 2nd AVE STE # 4
Miami Gardens FL 33169
PHONE: 1.800.698.3594
FAX: 1.800.698.3597

Dallas, TX

Fort Worth, TX 76131
PHONE: 1.800.698.3594

Manhattan, NY
521 East 81st ST
New York, NY, 10028
PHONE: 1.800.698.3594
FAX: 1.800.698.3597

Google Maps shows the first address to be a vacant lot:

The second address is the residence of phone installer Steven Curtis Lane:

The third address is the "home" of New York Computer PC Repair Services, whose direct number "646-430-8359" routes to "the person at extension 3-0-0-0":

AND WHAT OF THE SUPPOSED CLIENTS LISTED IN THEIR PORTFOLIO?

http://telxweb.com/portfolio/

• "Homeescape.com" shares their apparently vacant lot address: 
• http://goo.gl/maps/nCnhH 
• "Miamiescape.com" redirects to this domain-for-sale page: 
• https://secure.dnidomains.com/store/order/miamiescape.com 
• "Yachtexports.com" metadata says this site was designed by Online Media Group, not TelxWeb.
• "Repaircreditservice.com" metadata says this site was designed by TheCreativeComplex.com, not TelxWeb.
• "Expressautolease.com" footer byline says this site was designed by Cytnet.com, not TelxWeb.
• "Wonderlandmiami.com" footer byline says this site was designed by Deep Sleep Studio, not TelxWeb.
• "Pdpofa.com" has a "test" posting on their home page and Latin copy on their "live" blog.
• "Masterofthemind.com" footer byline says this site was "engineered" by Telx Computers.  It fails W3C HTML/CSS validation.  

None of the remaining sites listed show Telx bylines or metadata, but regardless they all fail W3C HTML/CSS validation.

Somewhere in the world there is a TelxWeb, a Telx Computers and a Telx Group.  And somebody associated with them designed, developed or posted to at least two of these websites.  But is TelxWeb really "a web design company in Miami"?
