Unfortunately I was stupid enough to fall for this as I was desperate. They took 24.50 from me but I never received anything. reported this as fraud and now 4 months down the line I receive a letter saying they will take me to court If I don't pay them £54. I've been in touch with my bank they told me not to worry as the fraud team would have put the money back into my account if it was a real company. I'm not going to lie but I am worried. These people a parasites and pray on people in a vulnerable state it's disgusting!!!!!
Do not answer this call. If you do, do not hand over any card details. This is a scam and they really don't care about taking money off of people who are looking for work. Lowest of the low.
I'm currently looking for work. I received a call from unknown company about home based work. Asking me to contact them on :08714750356. Spoke to Ben seemed very nice. Admin support full-time or part-time work which one would I like? 10-15p/h. you get paid by the hour not by the task be said. As long as you can work with computers, e-mail, good written & verbal English. Start ASAP. the application will be sent with detailed description for each job role. Can be done from home at your own pace, flexible. Referral from clients. No sale, commission, cold calls, or targets to meet. As along as you are able to go online & send e-mails. The flexible working group. [email protected]. He asked for £49 starter package offered £25. Wanted bank details to process form so I could start ASAP. If not happy I could get refund. I asked for more information be have this address:34 New House, 67-68 Hatten garden, London EC1 N8JY. He then offered me another contact number for office based jobs. 09791300230. Don't answer these calls. Set up block on mobile. They must have gotten my details from online job searches knowing full well I'm looking for Administration work. Crafty beggars.
Helpp i thought it was legit and i gave my details what do i do. The bank cant do anything either.
This is a nuisance number that has called me continuously asking for bank details.
This is supposedly a recruitment agency for home-based work. I spoke to the recruiter for about 10 minutes and after it all sounded like a flexible job... then they asked for my bank details. Noooooo way am I giving my bank details out over the phone to someone who is claiming to be a recruiter! I would say to all, BE AWARE!
received a call from this number asking to give them a ring back for a job I have applied for. This job was for an admin position and as I have been looking and applying for jobs, I soon became suspicious as to why a recruited sent an automatiated voice clip to get applicants to call back. Despite this I did try to ring the number, shortly after coming to realise that it was a scam. I hav heard about people selling your data and details that you post on the Internet but never did I think they would get your information from job applications 😱 Ria
Just got a call from this number. Called it back and a pleasant lady took me through a simple 'screening' process for a 'work from home' admin position with 'flexible working group' which she said was based in London. She said I could choose the hours to work and asked if I was interested in admin & secretarial, data entry or envelope filling. I asked how it worked and all she would say is that it was all in the starter pack. This I could purchase for approx £50 but they were doing an offer this week only for just under £25. I told her I needed more info and asked for their web address - www.tfwg.co.uk - this turned out to be a single page giving a different phone number - 08714750128 - and an email and nothing else. Couldn't find them listed at Company's House.
I was applying for jobs and got this call. It seems to me the link is totaljobs.com but maybe I'm wrong. Anyone else used that site?
When you answer this number it is an automated voice saying to ring it back stating it is a recruitment agency and mentions a sector of work. For me it said Admin. Felt VERY suspicious. I researched the number before I called it back. Things do not look good with other peoples experiences of this scam.
Same as the other people have had about 10 calls off this number 08714750968 so dont know what its for. Dont answer numbers i dont recognise
An automated message wanted me to confirm I had received a call from this number. It's a good job I researched the number before replying. I'm very grateful to everyone on this site for sharing information of this kind.
Had an automated message left by this number, when rang back, got an IVR system that only offered jobs working from home They wanted £25 for a "starter pack" On asking they claimed the company was called "Flexible Workgroup" but on investigation, couldn't find any internet presence
Second number these scammers are using, initially offering a job but then demanding money, credit card details. Do not call back.
