Also I have spoken to Ian Johnson @ nethomeworkers and he has said that he has contacted Martin & the abuse team to take this posting down as this is slandering his Company.
If there is anymore slander against his Company he will be taking all of you who have slandered his name & Martin's Company to court.

notice this did NOT happen ????

hi, I joined this site so I could confirm a few things about this kc thing. I live in York and I too saw a vacancy for a data entry clark for kc computer services, and I applied for it, sending them my C.V via email too. I phoned them on the 0844 number they gave in the email, and ended up waiting for over 30 minutes on hold before I got through to someone. I also was told that Kevin was in a management meeting at the time etc. So now I wonder if there will be any consequences since I did send them my C.V in the email when I first applied.

That looks like they are ducking and diving an investigation from someone.

The [URL]hxxp://www.nethomeworkers.com/[/URL] page is 'under construction' too.

I was advised it was a "work from home" opportunity and to pay £25 (plus I'd been charged for the 0844 call).

When I told the Jobcentre about this, they advised that they were investigating this company for misleading job seekers and falsely advertising the above job.

After reading all of the posts concerning this "company", I am astonished that after us all reading the "legitimate" Job Centre adverts and receiving the same emails as well as doing our own checks, NO action has been taken.
I was recently laid off work, so as a job seeker, this just adds insult to injury.

I agree. I have another slight moan about the job centre. I saw a job on their website and rang the company for details, only to be told it had gone and should have been removed. A week later it is still there, and when I rang the job centre (0845 number) to ask details of another job I told them about this one and they said they can't remove it, I would have to ring another section (costing me more money!)

I really feel they should take more responsibility for what is on their site.

I am from Edinburgh. same ad posted in our job centres and after calling the given number in the email i was directed to their website. As soon as I saw the '£25 fee' i knew it was going to be a scam.. all legitimate work from home companies should never ask for a fee up front. If they are legitimate they will deduct any fee from your first wage. They even had the cheek to advertise the 'beware of scams' warning! LOL

Alice_in_webland

it's sad that so many people want work like this and coming up against scams.. hope a GENUINE company gets wind of this and contacts everyone with an offer of REAL work
