What happened to the post the man from combined maintenance services put up?

 

[Dotty]

We had to remove it temporarily while the forum owner is making further enquiries.

Going on from here we need FIRM FACTUAL accounts of what you perceive to be scams and fraudsters.

Preferably backed up by correspondance.

All the facts I know are that I was emailed by this company offering work for a fee.

Combined Maintenance Services | Home | Combined Maintenance Ltd
Their website claims they have been trading for 7 years.....

COMBINED MAINTENANCE SERVICES LIMITED. Free and instant access to Director and Shareholder details. Credit Reports online instantly.

Mr. K C Mckerrow appears to have only incorporated his directorship in 31: 01: 2013

Company Formation of UK Limited Companies - A1 Company Services

Plus if you Google the head office address, there appear to be a lot of other companies horned in there....



Which is why I declined their kind offer.
