Just received an unsolicited email from this company looking for contractors in my area i.e. GU postcode. Aberdeen based company touting maintenance work for 27 properties a month. This fits exactly with the MO used by previous Scottish based operator who has caused issues for other members of this forum in the past. My spider senses say SCAM so beware and my ex-police senses say ....they're well at it, still!
 
I could take some strongly worded letters of complaint…

Bullsh*t. take a couple of Govan lads backed up by a Scouser or 2. offer the offenders a couple of bog rolls. if you got it right, they'll need them.
 
They just changed their name to Nationwide Home Works. Beware!!!!!!!

This part of “legislation that comes into effect 1st june2020”…..

isn’t that for English rental properties?
This crowd are in Aberdeen.
Good spotting. Its strange how when in desperation for additional work most of us miss out on the key details. You're right. If your good, good contracts will find you. Never pay upfront for work. You should be the one taking a deposit instead. And when paying for anything that seems too good to be true always use someone else's money I.e credit card. If its too good to be true it usually is. I learned the hard way but hopefully not many more will by us sharing this discussion.
 
You have to be careful with scammers. Those registered as directors are not necessarily running the show. Quite often patsies are used to set up bank accounts to launder the proceeds. You also have company registration agents who will register companies for you. Quite often their names are shown as secretaries before resigning shortly after registration.
 
Scam came through this evening, I know its a scam as I already have a NHS Covid Passport, issued through/by the NHS and the NHS using the expression "all over the block"

The COVID-19 travel certificate has been created in a bid to restore the freedom of travel,
which has been put at a halt for over a year now, since the pandemic erupted all over the block.

Through the certificate, the Commission intends to remove travel restrictions as entry bans, quarantine obligation, and testing.

Those holding such a document will be able to travel throughout Europe without the need to quarantine or test for COVID-19

Please confirm or reject your invitation by selecting an option below:

Accept (taken out the link)

Decline

The Passport will be issued to all those who have been fully vaccinated against the Coronavirus, with one of the four vaccines approved by the National Medicine Agency, which are:

AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)

The certificate will prove that its holder has been vaccinated while also containing additional information on the vaccine, as when the doses were administered, who is the manufacturer, etc.

Nice try, but your not fooling anyone.

hmmm, thinking about it, they will fool enough people to spend the winter in the Bahamas
parasites.
 
I may have fallen for this scam recently sending ÂŁ2250 to the company as a security payment for the landlords information who issue the EICRS.
I have been in contact since paying the few however, no information or work has been sent over. ST1 area. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks
UK Spark, I'd be interested to hear how you got on with this. I have recently been contacted by Vanguard Home Repairs with a similar proposal. Approx ÂŁ60k worth of EICRs, working through 5 letting agents. Contract costs ÂŁ2400 fee up front which is what made me think 'hang on...'. So googling Vanguard, they are registered at Companies House from Nov 2022 and yet to file an account. The website exists, and you can phone them up, but the info on the site is vague and there is a spelling mistake or two. Do you still have any contact details? I can compare them to what I have.
 
Please you guys, if someone asks you to pay them to give you work, "ITS A CON" don't be a sucker give them a wide birth, don't even talk to them.
I had a call from a comany like this a while ago.

I suggested they just take a comission on the jobs I get after each job- the more work I got the better for both of us, strangely they did not go for it

Wehenever I get these calls now (you can usually tell within 20 seconds) I usually say something along the lines
'If at any point you are going to ask me for money in this call that is not going to happen' that usually shuts them up.
