If there is money to be paid for this then it is a scam.
They do the rounds every month or so under different names. Usually for the small sum of around £1700.

Not a bad way to make a living i suppose if you don't have a conscience. Certainly easier than working.

I had a email today from them offering me a contract for 500 houses. I contact them as i could do with more work. I talked to someone on the phone for nearly an hour as he quoted me really good rates, he then said his boss would contact me within a couple of hours for a full interview over the phone. At that point I did my homework and found the site to be quite basic and i found an artical in this forum telling people to stay well clear.They told me the work was in the CA7 postcode which is 40 miles from my house, so when he phoned back I told him it was to far to travel. He then said there must be some mistake hang on ill check it out. He obviously just looked at a map and told me it was centred around ayle (closest place to where i live on the map). Funny thing is theres only 5 houses there. When I told him that he said it was a 15 mile radius around Ayle. LOL Apart from my town of 2000 people theres nothing in a 15 mile radius of Ayle. Iam pleased I did my homework and didnt fall for it, and I hope nobody else does either. Thank you to this site for giving me the heads up and I hope this post will help other hard working plumbers dodge this scam.

They get all there info from the gas safe web site. i took them all the way to winning the contract just to mess then about i applied on a wednesday and won the contract on the friday what LUCK !!! but as soon as you win the contract they want payment, told them i would pay once proof of work comes through and they can't do it that way because they computer wouldn,t let them do it !!!
They also answer phone with there first name bases only and not the company name like any good company would !!!
If anyone would like there details to waste there time 01563 533238 ask for Chris !!n if thats his name.
Happy Hunting

I'd never pay money to get work.

Fair enough if they put a % on work you've done on their behalf, but up front = SCAM
