VAT Registration Numbers
UK CORPORATE PORTAL 2013

Received a letter from GERMANY today and thought I'd put a warning on here.

Starts off telling you that due to the change to the EU economic package (?!) all companies are obligated to provide their Vat Number and this lovely company require you to return the enclosed form with your details - at no cost (ahem)
Turn to page 2 and you will find in the small print (!) that you will actually be charged £797 anually and this will apply for the next 3years plus a further year if not terminated in writing !!!!!!!

They don't ask for bank details at this stage but you are invoiced and hounded for the fees because you will have signed a "legally binding" document and......... "German Law applies"

Ignore it.

Combined Maintenance Services require a Heating & Plumbing Engineer to maintain a 12 month contract for a minimum of 390 domestic rental properties within the “M” Postcode area.


This came through the other day - £2100 upfront.
 
I get at least 1 email a month from bogus companies offering 'contracts' to service multiple properties for their 'clients', having investigated some of them (who charge between £1750 - £2100 + vat), I have noticed most give Scottish addresses with London head office details, they usually have a website which looks authentic, where they show as fraudulent is through the addresses given (One was a Kebab house, which came up on google maps street view), they will often publish large companies details as 'their' clients, but if you ring the clients, they have often never heard of them and will chase the website owners down to remove the links.
 
If anyone feels that they are getting conned, please use the link to Trading Standards I've put up above as a sticky and report them.

Only by reporting them can we make the their business unprofitable.
