That's the problem, with all the new guys on the block some will fall for it thinking how lucky they are to get such a good contract when they have only been trading for a short time, then its to late ! they have parted with their money.

 

[Phil_Plumb]

I recieved a similar email from them, smells fishy to me, have the company been done for fraud in past?

 

[Killy Bing]

Would be a better use of £2200 to install a boiler for a charity and milk the publicity !

 

[lame plumber]

had mine for ex area as well

 

[Bradley]

I was just about to sign up for this company and part with over £2,000 can anyone tell me more about them?

Search N.U.S. (National Utility Solutions) on forum. Been around for a few years under several incarnations. They're not very bright as they keep rotating the names and addresses that they use. This is where the forum comes in handy, we tend to try and watch each others backs. They also like to join the forum occasionally to see what we are all saying about them. They are easy enough to spot as they only have one or two posts. I've reported them to trading standards a number of times (under one or other of their ever changing names!) and would suggest everyone else does who receives an email.

 

[Bradley]

Thanks for the information - how do you know this is the same company? Have you had any dealings with them?

This is the same people, they have used different names to scam people, if you want to take the chance then say goodbye to £2000. its your money! You pay your money and take your chance. Then we can say told you so !

I have declined the contract and not paid the money - Darryl Scott of Combined Maintenance says he is nothing to do with NUS and I shouldn't believe what I read on this site - there are only very few posts out of thousands which were negative to his company. I think I will stick with my instinct and not gamble my £2,000. He did say he could reduce the deposit to half but I still declined.

 

[Bradley]

Do you think this ought to be reported this to Watchdog? They may be able to investigate. Also, there was an article in the Gas Engineer magazine entitled "opportunity or scam?" which describes this company.

 

[leelister6]

Sign up for it Bradley! You can't lose with a deal like that. if you've got a bit of extra money after signin up, I got some magic beans you can have for next to nowt mate

Hi,
my friend has stupidly signed a contract for this recently! He has never had any work but the keep telling him he will get some! Is there any chance of getting his money back? Will he need to seek legal advice or go to trading standards?
help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

 

[Reg Man]

Yes had them email me. A Gary Clark! £2000 for work in the NR post code. Won't be parting with any of my hard earned cash.

They have tried it in Wigan too. Tel call from Craig Donaldson, James Donnelly and Jonathan Christie if they exist! Wanted £2,000 & VAT this time!

Hi, I have fallen a victim to this company, same people, different company name. took £2400.00 by BACS. They were called "ONE STOP SAFETY MAINTENANCE UK LTD".
THIS IS A CON COMPACY AND I HAVE REPORTED THEM TO THE POLICE AND FRAUD TEAM. BUT ONCE YOU HAVE PAID THEM, THATS IT! MONEY GONE.

 

[EAGLE]

Trading standards WERE OF NO HELP. IF ANYONE KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE, WELL I WILL TRY TO GET MY MONEY BACK ANOTHER WAY!!!!!!.

 

[EAGLE]

I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE BANK WHICH I HAD TRANSFERRED THE MONEY TO. Under the "freedom of information act" they will have to release details of the person/s who owned the account and a name and address used to open the account. I will be paying them a vist.

The amount of people who have been robed by this company you could organise a coach load to go with you, as they do seem to be above the law ! :bobby: something must be done to stop these people. :behead:

 

[Onestoprefurbs]

We have been contacted by this company with regard to BB areas (Burnley & Blackburn) as they are now emailing and ringing here. We have checked them out using Riskdisk and they are rated as 'high risk'. A big thank you to all who posted on this forum as we may well have fallen into the same trap as others. If it seems too good to be true- it probably is! Be warned.

After coming across this company on this fourm, I done a quick check on this company to see. the Director is a Kenneth McKerrow, http://companycheck.co.uk/director/917545038. Also he is listed as a director of Find me a local .com which is located at Sovereign House, Irvine which is coincidentally the registered address of One Stop Safety Maintenance. These lot should be shut down for the thousands they have scammed from people over the years. Hope more are foolish enough to sign up to this company.

Just had a phone call from these people. I had an email from Darryl Scott yesterday which I ignored, then the phone call this morning.

The bloke on the phone rambled on for nearly half an hour before telling me I would have to pay two grand for the privilege of winning this great contract! Needless to say I declined after happily wasting 30 minutes of his time.

I wouldn't trust any company that offers to pay you for work but wants you to pay them for getting you the work in the first place. Beware of Combined Maintenance Services!

 

[ashwilson]

Anyone who is dumb enough to actually pay the money deserve to be ripped off .

Surely people who do research etc before parting with such amounts.

Thank goodness I did a google search, found all your comments about this company! Been communicating since yesterday with them ! Have a conference call with them on Friday morning which will now be lots and lots of fun. Anyone got any message they would like to pass on?
