Anybody heard of these people? I've received emails offering exclusive contract works in my area on a contract they claim to have? Looks and smells like a scam to me but wanted to know if anyone else has heard about this?

scam. like emergency response. they give you jobs where they charge their clients an exhorbitant fee ( say £125 + VAT for a call-out ) then you invoice them for £45, you then have to get debt collectors after them to get paid. avoid.

Update: decided to speak with said company to see what was going on............after a few pleasantries it basically came down to them charging £2k+ upfront for the contract, rather than taking commission from each job they claim you will be guaranteed! Scam for sure

Discussed at length on this site last week. I would put money on their website containing blatant misrepresentations.

Yes, straight up scam. Been doing the rounds for a while now.

They use the same figures of available jobs for every area of the UK. Total BS.

Scam, scam, scam, scam.... scam, scam, scam, scam... ad infinitum

Still would be interesting to know if anyone has shelled out £2k and whether or not it had been worth while? Perhaps those who have received calls should forward details to Glasgow Trading Standards.

I would like to say no but the fact they keep going must mean someone is stupid enough to fall for it.
Probably a similar thread on the Plumbers forum saying how good an idea it is

If anything is being reported it will more than likely be via Action Fraud (more appropriately InAction Fraud) which then takes about six months before being allocated to a police force to investigate by which time all the baddies have spent or hidden their ill gotten gains!
