I signed up for a membership as an escort last December, and they promised me I would be taking attractive women in their 20's and 30's on dates.

I have had over 20 bookings to date, and all have been with much older women. I do not discriminate people based on their age, but the eldest club member I dated was in her late 60's.

I told the booking team on several occasions not to book me with anyone over 50, but time after time I arrive at a booking to be greeted by someone old enough to be my grandmother.

I sent an email requesting a full refund of my membership fees, but the company insist that I have made money so will not accept any liability.

I suggest that if you do not want to spend your spare time driving Miss Daisy around garden centres you give this charity for the aged a wide berth.

I filled out the form online and got a call back the following day,spoke to a woman calling herself Angela,she explained that my going rate for an hours work would be £150 and if I was with the 'client' for four hours I would receive £600.I thought it was too good to be true,but she seemed extremely convincing.I told her that I was unable to pay the £349 right away and she said that it was fine and would give me first refusal and contact me in a couple of weeks.I'm happy to report that I found this site before I have handed any money over and when she calls i will give her a piece of my mind

signed up for www.livefootball.net march 2009. Tried to cancel in dec and jan. Couldn't access site any more. Paypal paid new subs to lee elwood without my agreement. Could not even access site as original login details do not work. Tried to email lee elwood. No response.

I also started a skills train course (CIW Web Design Manager) approved by companies such as Micsrosoft, CAB and Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations ?????, i have written to these companies and they have replied telling me that they do not approve the course i have bought,

Last week i wrote to my local Trading Standards Authority (Falkirk, Central Scotland) and i recieved an email yesterday from the woman in charge of my case saying thay they have written to skillstrain regarding my complaint, Hopefully i will hear back soon

Thanks to Rob Ager from the Collative Learning website (STexposed) for the helpful advice, without that i wouldn't have known how to go about chasing up my refund !!

Delightful companions encouraged me to pay a fee of £360 to become a part time escort in the evenings and weekends. I was really struggling at the time with money and it seemed such a fast and easy way to help me get out the red.

I spoke to what seemed a lovely lady called Annabel she rang me most days to discus progress on my registration. I didn’t have the money at the time to cover the cost. I thought about lending it as she said she had clients who wanted to book appointments for me this week. I borrowed the money and before i went to pay me fee she promised me it wasn’t a scam and guaranteed i would of made my money back the next night. And would be 1500 up just in this week.

I borrowed the money of friends and family and promised them the money at the end of the week as I was TOLD I would of had three bookings this week which potentially meant i would of had 1500 in my back pocket. As i was informed i get £475 each dinner date. When i went into the western union the lady warned me and told me to NOT pay as it was a SCAM. I rang the company back and explained what had happened and that I didn’t pay and why. The lovely Annabel told me how she couldn’t live with her self and physically couldn’t do that to me and it was legit and how well I would do in this industry.

Promises guarantees and blatant lies were told over the phone. I have never received a booking never received a phone call back i have never been issued with my escort guide book i have been promised over and over. The company are a disgrace. Un helpful money grabbing heartless people.

I believe in karma and they have got what is coming for them. I really hope no one ells falls into the trap i did. Please don’t send money to any one you don’t no or have never met. I might of well as given a homeless of the street £360!!

I have spoken to loads of other agencies their is a real good one i would love to recommend. Angels for you. Ask to speak to Sue she is wonderful and will give you any free advice you need. Escort agencies are like recruitment agencies when you want a temp you don’t have to pay Reed any joining fees they take it out of your wages. Please IF IT Sounds to good to be true its because it is

Thanks to this site, I have just avoided paying these con artistes £366!

THey contacted me yesterday and gave me the rundown on how I would earn £1,200 a week as a Companion

Today, less than 24 hours later, they offer me a £600 booking to have drinks and a meal with one of their 'regulars' Mellissa, a woman aged 48.

I was asked to transfer £366 to account adminisstrator - gregory joe stanton spain, using western union, to 'register' as the would not pass on my phone number to the client, until I had registered.

This is a very genuine sounding scam and Katie sounds so professional.

WATCH OUT and DON't BE TAKEN IN.

I ordered a 14 day trial of Absolute AcaiBerry on 01/02/2010 via the internet and agreed to pay the shipping costs of £0.95 inclusive of VAT. I gave them my Credit Card details and on the 18 February (Bank reference 01287219) the sum of £75.55 was charged to my account.

The trial was in the form of capsules supplied in a plastic jar (approx 60 capsules were supplied). There was no indication or statement to say that an extra sum of money would be charged other than the shipping costs.

My claim is for the extra amount I was charged over and above the amount clearly indicated on the advertisement and also on the invoice I received when the goods were delivered.

my mum is a pensioner and her boiler broke down on the 27/02/10 while away. i rang up on Monday to get it fixed they said Wednesday is the best we can do....fair enough. after changing a few parts and not solving the problem it turns out the heat exchanger is broke. engineer orders part tells me to ring after an hour to arrange a date to fix it. i did and all i got was we will call when part is delivered.... after ringing warm sure everyday they said u are now a priority case the part was delivered on Saturday to a company called Premier who then rang on the Monday (8/3/10) to say we can fix it the following MONDAY! now being a priority case for an elderly lady you'd think they would get it done sooner right? apparently not. i have rang to get this fix done sooner but we all know that it wont happen.

this company took money from my account without permision

I joined a company called Elite Agency back in July 2009. I had to pay £300 to join for 12 months and a profile was made. I had to send some photos and sent them to an email addresse which was info@eliteagency.biz. I went onto the Internet to look at the website and it all looked good. The website was www.Eliteagncy.biz and was told I could work as an escort and get £650 Per Day for doing it. A few weeks later in August 2009 I spoke to a lady called Max who said I was getting lots of interest on the international side. She told me there was a Italian Lady who had seen my profile in liked it and she wanted to book me. Max told me that on the international side of the business you get £2500 per day! The Italian lady wanted to book me for 5 days so a total of £1250!! I was nyeve and thought this was great. Max told me the fee for the international side of the business was £2600 for 12 months. But because this Italian Lady wanted me she was going to pay half. So I had to find the other £1300. I did get very excited and decided to go for it. I transfered £1300 to their account which stupidly I didn't keep the account details. Any way after chasing week and week nothing happened and when I spoke to Elite they said The italian lady had not cancelled just postponed. Anyway December comes and suddendly I can get hold of the company. The phone number I had always phoned went to answer phone. I am very angry for myself for being so stupid and I have lost £1500. Please my advice to people is to make sure that they no all the details about the company before any money passes hands, I wish I had! The phone number for the company was 08712180504

On the 24th February 2010 I ordered flowers for my brothers funeral on the 1st March 2010. They were to be delivered to the church imagine our distress when we arrived at the church and there were no flowers. My elderly mother was distraught, her only son was being buried and no foral tribute, I e-mailed the company but they insist the flowers were delivered, howwever cannot offer me any proof of delivery. To get any sense from the people online is like trying to plait fog USELESS. I want a full refund and compensation of a bouquet to the widow and my mother. This company is lauhable and they made a sad occasion even more unbearble.

The despute is still on going but due to work commitments i had to leave this issue until now. I am now having to take Warrentywise to a small claims court as they point blank refused to pay me out even though i had a legitimate claim. One interesting item is that the director out of frustration offered to pay me out of his own pocket, i provided him with all my bank details but then he made demands and conditions for the payment to take place, one of these conditions was to remove any comments from this or any other forums. I agreed to this but still did not get paid.
In the hope that Mr Wilson reades this, Mr Wilson, do you really want your name associated not only with a company with policies such as Warrentywise but also with its managing directors?
I will of course continue to expose this company and its directors to my very best ability.

In the meantime if you are looking for a warrenty company DO NOT CHOOSE WARRENTYWISE. If you do it will be no better than pouring your hard earned cash down the drain.

THIS COMPANY CAN'T CLEAN AND THEY HIRE EX-CONS TO DO THEIR JOBS..THEY ARE VERY ILLITERATE AND THEY ARE BAD FOR BUSINESS....THE OWNER IS AN EX CON HIMSELF AND USES DRUGS I DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BE CLEANING PEOPLES HOMES

I entered into a contract with 3 mobile via the mobiles4free company; which stated that my existing contract was running out within 6 months, and offering me a deal. I am not normally the sort of person to accept a deal that sounds too good; now its clear why! They offered me the next 6 months of my billing free after having paid the first months bill; this was at the beginning of 2009.

Since this time i have written 4 letters (receiving no reply), with copies of my bills paid as advised by the customer services department. Since this time the phoneline seems to have been shut down, and looking at the long list of complaints on this website im not too suprised!

To rub salt in the wounds, my phone at the time was not running out within 6 months; so how they got my number is still subject to debate. These guys really are having a laugh. I intend to contact watchdog independently about it, although that may well be just as fruitless as im sure many have already done
so!

I signed up to this Dating Service website in January for an initial special offer for 1 month of £5.00. Within two weeks I realised that ther service was not what I expected and not to my satisfaction. I requested a cancellation code to terminate my contract, which they sent on 27 January (proof by copy email)however, I was not able to use it successfully, It did not work. I emailed be2 Customer Service for help but no help was given. £5.00 was taken from my bank account on 15 January using my debit card details. On 16 February I was sent email stating that automatic renewal of my Premium Membership had failed due to a problem with my bank account, that asked me to update my bank account details when they already had them and had debited £5.00. The reason I did not want to continue with this membership was that I could not afford the subsequent payment for the following 6 months - but even though I tried to cancel, I have had now on 2 March had a payment of £119.94 debited from my account which I cannot afford. I am disgusted at the conduct of this company, I will not rest until I have recovered the money they have taken from me. I have copy emails of all correspondence to support my claim for justice!

ordered a free 14day trial costing only p@p.cancelled further orders in the trial period but when I recieved my monthly credit card statement on the 10/2/10 they had withdrawn £77.38p(119.02 usd)I have been very foolish and as a pensioner can never risk getting a so called free trial ever again.this is very hard on me and I would appreciate any help in getting my money refunded.

I had decided to try to start a business. SMC promises so much. i joined and got the kit--which is worthless by the way. i paid $400 for the kit. (their prices range form $200-$500 for the kit, depending on how many notices they send you before you agree to join) so i get this kit, watch a DVD, read through the booklets and try to get all the info i could. it then said to call my business coach, which i would have for a whole year instead of just the 90 days. she then convinced me to spend over $5,000 to upgrade my membership, get a gift card redemption site,catalogs,gift cards ect. asked me to call and set up the gc website with another gentleman named Justin. then through him i had to spend over another $5,000. this was to get my website functioning, they do all the work to keep the online catalog updated throughout the year. a couple weeks later i get a phone call from a Steve Johnson at emerchant club. he wanted ocer $2,200 to make it so my website is even better. then first time customers didnt have to use a gift card. they could pay by credit card, pay pal ect. a couple weeks later i still have no website. he calls yet again and wants more money. i explained how much money i have spent and have nothing to show for it. and how i am a single mother at the moment and cannot keep shelling out money when i dont make any. he puts me on hold and says he talked to his boss and can offer me the same package for a little less. (this is what they all did to make you feel like your getting a really good deal. i blew up at him. he said he'd call after my website was up. and he did, and of course they want more money. then i get a call from another gentleman who says my website needs work. so now i have all this money invested, a website, tons of catalogs and gift cards, but none of it works. still cant place orders, no money coming in to pay bills. i wasnt expecting to get rich, but at least be able to make a steady income like they said was possible. and not for them to drain my bank account. i have nothing now. i had registered for their website. now it tells me i am not a member. they also try to make you feel better about investing. well over $16,000 spent and i had over $9,000 in credit for merchandise, supp;ies or whatever. i just received an invoice the other day that i got charged $314.95 for membership/renewal fees out of my credits. (membership is supposed to be for a full year!) so now my credits are down to $7,000.and i have no way to use them. my member number doesnt exist, but yet when these people call me they have to tell me my #. my member # is 72147690-69. (they use just the first 8).i am at my wits end and feel so heartbroken and foolish now. i have all these notebooks with so many different names and numbers for these people.but yet i cant get anywhere. please someone help!
thank you

THIS COMPANY CLAIMS TO SELL DVDS AND FILM MEMORABILIA AND I AM INTERESTED IN PURCHASING SOME OF THERE ITEMS. I HAVE EMAILED THEM ON THE 'CONTACT US' PART OF THERE WEB PAGE www.fullmoondirect.com. I HAVE THEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BY USING DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESS WITH THE SAME QUESTION (DO YOU DELIVER TO UK? AND IF DO HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?) THESE EMAILS HAVE BEEN SPREAD OUT BETWEEN 1-2 YRS AND I STILL RECIEVED NO REPLY. I AM GLAD THAT I HAVE NOT GIVEN THEM MY CREDIT CARD DETAILS OUT AND PURCHASED ANY ITEM BUT HOW CAN THEY BE TRUSTED IF THEY WONT SATISFY A CUSTOMER ON A SIMPLE QUESTION.

ARE THEY A LEGITIMATE COMPANY OR ARE YOU TO PART WITH YOUR BANK DETAILS TO RIP YOU OFF?

I LOOK FORWRAD IN HEARING FROM YOU

After a home visit from Mathew (if that’s what his name really is) we ordered a Hot Tub at the beginning of September, 2009. We were told it was manufactured in America it's not it's coming from China. We were told it would be with us within 12 weeks we still don't have it. 23 weeks later!
I signed the order form Mathew completed not realizing that I was signing a contract. Terms and conditions are on the back of the form which he does not show you. He failed to complete the "due date" he just put regular on the contract and did not advise me of my right to cancel the contract nor is there a section on cancellation on the terms and conditions. He promised delivery within 12 weeks and said more likely to be earlier. We paid 50% deposit paid, and balance would be due upon delivery, but just 3-4 weeks later they requested the remaining payment to allow for shipping.
I have made numerous calls and letters to them asking when the hot tub will arrive. Every time I was told that they are waiting for shipping documents from the manufacturer. I have requested to speak to the manager and have not been able to, only false promises that someone will ring me back. Surprisingly they never do!
I was advised by trading standards to send them a letter advising time is of the essence and give them fourteen days notice for delivery, if I don't receive my hot tub by this time they would be in breach of contract. This time has passed and I have now sent a letter to the company cancelling our order and requesting our money back as they are in breach of contract. Still no reply, either by phone or letter from the trade price group.
I have instructed my debit and credit cards to conduct a charge back, which is still being disputed by the trade price group. This dispute still continues as I write.

I am consultation with a solicitor and if I have no luck getting my money back I will be taking The Trade Price Group to court. (check out your home insurance policies, some cover you for legal expenses for consumer issues)

I will keep you posted.
