I first had a telephone call from this Company on 20 June 2010 stating that they could help my Client List increase with their help of Advertising online, through Google. They stated that they were a legit company and Company House registered.
Unfortunately, my Accountant has brought it to my attention today, that they had taken a payment out for £116.33. After checking my statements, this has been going out of my Business Account each month since June. The Amount is now £488.83!!!
I had no idea what they were doing until today. When i originally spoke to them on the phone, they difinately had a way with words & could sell you anything, they stated that the advertising would only be for 1 month to see if i had any joy with Clients ringing. Since i had not had a call back after a month, i just assumed that they had closed my advert (also i had only paid for one month advertising). Little did i know that was how they conned you into this. Once you have given your details (card) over the phone, they can use that whenever they like... How trusting is this!!! You always think they can't do things like this, but it's happened & they can.
I have contacted my Bank, cancelled my card, as basically it is stolen now. Which has caused a few problems, but i don't mind, just as long as they can't get to my Business Bank Account. I have reported it to you & my Accountant is getting intouch with the Ombusman and Google, since thats how they scam you in by using Google's name...
Please be aware of this matter & do not get scammed, give out your details etc to anyone... what is the world coming too & how on earth can those pieces of dirt sleep at night.
