National Utility Solutions

[GQuigley67]

i sent an email ages ago, cant remember if it was this mob or another name but they are still the same bogus offer of work for near enough £2k up front

 

[GQuigley67]

your probably right about being run outside of the UK, outside of UK law aswell, I got a phone call the other day some guy telling me about this leaflet that is going out about kids, cancer blah blah i can be on front page advertising and dont have to pay until nxt year blah blah, I said sure send me the details via email and I'll have a look at it, NOT ONE EMAIL

just another scam Gerry. I get them all the time. I had an email back from CIPHE, they have contacted Trading standards and are aware of this company but thanks for letting us know etc. etc..

 

[GQuigley67]

I knew it was a scam, just knew there was going to be no email lol because had an almost identical scam a few months back, from now on all english numbers are getting ignored lol

It's probaby not even run from this country. You hear about similar things being run from Russia / Nigeria / Albania etc with a fronting address in the UK.

Oh yes it is!!

Any thoughts ??

We signed a contract last year and are still waiting for work - do not touch them with a barge pole. If you look at the testimonial page on the website the gas safe numbers given by people who are allegedly doing work for them are invalid. We are sure they are connected to a company called Group 3 Energy - if you look at both websites the text reads the same and they are both in Scotland. I'm seriously considering reporting to the office of fair trading.

don't just consider reporting them, do it

NUS advertise gas work but don't appear to be registered with Gas Safe is this legal?

They don't appear to have the CIPHE logo on the website now or any other registration body?

DON'T TOUCH THEM WITH A BARGEPOLE ....... DO NOT PART WITH ANY OF YOUR HARD EARNED £2000. ASK THEM TO MEET YOU FACE-TO-FACE ....... bet it doesn't happen !!!! i've lost my £2000 and had no work from them in over a year now.

Right, we need to take action. Its all well and good posting on here but something needs to be done about these scammers. There is also another forum on here regarding NUS with the same comments from innocent people getting scammed.
I note someone has reported to trading standards, how far did you get?
What if we all join forces with our business details and report to Trading Standards in one go & Companies House while we are at it, actually why not watchdog to.
What do you think??
