Tony Hetherington is the Financial Mail researcher on Sunday, batting readers’ corners, revealing the fact that he closed the doors and getting victories for those who have stayed out. Find out how to play it below.
J. S. writes: I won an email from the UK Corporate Portal asking for main points to log in to our company. I think the email connected to Companies House.
However, after offering the details, I won a non-easy bill of 797 euros for the first year of a three-year contract.
He said he couldn’t cancel, and now his legal suggestion is to threaten to take legal action in Germany.
Scam: it would be better to locate the British business portal in Hamburg or Prague (pictured)
The UK’s corporate portal is official. In fact, it’s a scam, it’s not even founded in the UK, despite its name, you’d have a better chance of locating it in Hamburg or Prague.
Their original documents inspire corporations to request what appears to be free access to a professional directory. In fact, all consumers get an incredibly expensive mention in a place that probably no one will see. And even that’s useless.
His own small business is in the automotive industry in north Wales, so I used the UK Corporate Portal to find its precise services. He didn’t answer.
Only when I entered your zip code did your company call appear, that is, I had to know that you were there before this beloved online page told me you were there.
I even tried to find plumbers in London, Birmingham and Liverpool. One would think that any genuine company directory would be full of plumbers, but there were none in any of those big cities. I’ve already warned readers about the UK Corporate Portal.
In 2013, he told corporations that EU regulations meant they had to provide their VAT number to update their directory.
Many corporations have returned a signed form with their VAT details, noticing the fine print in terms and conditions, promising to pay 3 years of expensive advertising on a Hamburg website.
This scam is based on intimidation and empty threats of prosecution to force victims to pay, but legally their case is riddled with loopholes.
The form he sent back indicates that only German law applies, however, he is threatened with legal action in the Czech Republic.
The latest application it won indicates that the German company Tele Verzeichnis Verlag (TVV) was the website, but went bankrupt last year, a collection agent named CC-Factoring inheriting the right to claim all the cash owed to it. on the British Business Portal website they still show TVV as the owner.
The requests and threats he won came here from ‘Colin Smith’, described as ‘lead attorney’, and ‘Michael Richardson’, who will be a ‘litigation officer’.
I asked CC-Factoring to say what the couple’s legal qualifications are, assuming they exist in the first position, which did not provide an answer.
The Prague government claims that the debt collection company is registered with Adrian Wittmer, who is known for scams and has problems with Prague’s debt collection claims because the Czech Republic has more flexible regulations than Germany and Switzerland, where it has already had problems. .
Wittmer also responded to repeated invitations to comment.
Don’t give Wittmer a penny or his business. They will take any action that opposes you in this country. The last thing they need is a court case that discloses them as evil as they are.
Barclays violated my data!
KG writes: I paid my Barclays mortgage and three days later I got a message from a former employer, telling me that I had won a letter addressed to me at home and had opened it by mistake.
It’s from Barclays, confirming repayments and giving all the main points of my mortgage. The next day, he won another letter about my mortgage.
I complained to the bank and she filed my complaint by sending a letter to my former employer.
Unanswered question: Barclays did not know at all why he connected the address of the K. G. call. to a former employer’s house.
He has never had a connection to his former employer’s home and has never given it to Barclays.
But to make this series of knowledge leaks even more serious, in conflict with his former employer over severance pay, he worries about other data the bank might have given him about his finances.
I gave Barclays your signed permission to allow the bank to contact me. His initial reaction to touching him, saying he needed his permission to communicate with me about the matter, permission he already had.
He did it even more because the bank hadn’t dealt with his complaint for nearly two months, but he figured out the time to ask him to verify that they would talk to me.
Well, Barclays has already spoken. He couldn’t explain why he connected his call to his former employer’s home address.
One spokesman said: “We regret that non-public knowledge has been sent to our client’s address. “
And to me that Barclays apologized in writing and paid him 500 euros in his account as a pardon.
Two scammers operating a large binary feature scam were ordered to return some 450,000 euros that earned their victims and pay a fine of 270,000 euros more, however, the legal action that opposed them was brought through Securities and
Anton Senderov and Lior Babazara were behind LBinary, which posed as an investment firm to convince those affected to bet on short-term adjustments to inventory and currency prices.
Well: Lior Babazara, left, and Anton Senderov were LBinary, posing as an investment firm.
I warned against LBinary as far back as 2015 and revealed that although he used a variety of addresses, his genuine location was in Israel, where he had more than a hundred workers and a global call center. Sellers lied about their names, places and monetary delight to convince those affected to invest.
No action was taken at the time and LBinary allowed her to continue with her scams for another two years.
Since then, U. S. prosecutors have filed opposite criminal fees to many Israelis and their U. S. affiliates for binary fraud.
In December last year, Lee Elbaz, a 38-year-old Israeli, imprisoned for 22 years and ordered to pay more than 20 million pounds to her victims. The authority has authorized one of the largest binary feature scams to appear in its public login of investment firms.
