  • has anyone heard of R H client solutions based in leeds i am pretty sure its a scam but would like to know for sure.
  • It was Paramount Force in Manchester which did exactly the same to me...

    One strangley informal interview, then within 10 minutes invited me back to go to a second one, which is supposed to be today!

    The thing that never got mentioned was how much money I would be making ... when i called this morning all they said was I would be earning £200 - £250 a month and 'whatever i earn on top of that' - meaning comission. It's gonna cost me at least half of that 'monthly' money to travel there and back! I also asked if it was door to door sales and all I recieved was ' We work with big organisations and events! '

    I've looked at another forum too and a journalist had posted on it saying he was investigating the guy who interveiwed me, if that's not dodgy then i dont know what is!

    Everything everyone has said on this site relates to Paramount Force, so as you've all helped me discover what they really are!

    Stay away from United Leeds Endeavours, just another one of these shady crappy marketing companies. I feel sorry for anyone who falls for this utter BS. This is a subsidiary of PerDM marketing, nothing but con artists.
  • I got a wake up call this morning from United Leeds Endevours, sounded really promising, somethig I was actually intertested in doing.

    I thought it was a bit shady how it didnt really explain on their website what it was about etc or what they have been doing, just a load of marketing jargon that would be generic to any company.

    the reason I applied for this position was because it was advertised for graduates and promised positions for people who want to work in the media. Struggling to find a job in that field I jumped at the chance and applied right away.

    so, anyway I got a phone call from Kate this morning asking me to come for an interview next week, I said it would be difficult for me to come down so soon as I am currently in the northeast waiting to graduate and she said something like "oh its fine just give us a ring back when your down in leeds and we can arrange an interview we are recruiting all summer" alarm bells immediately started ringing.

    but I look a few moments to think about it and desperate for a job i though what the heck, and rang Kate back and arranged an interview for next week.

    I then found this site and my heart sank. I'm so gutted that it is all a scam. But I think i'm still going to go down for an interview anyway just to see for myself what it is like.

    I also received an email from Rebecca from R H Client Solutions, I researched them and NOTHING came up on google about them, again massive alarm bells started ringing, on closer inspection of the email it was the same generic stuff people had been posting on here and the PHONE NUMBER and ADDRESS was exactly the same as United Leeds Endevours. I am waiting on a phone call from Rebecca from R H and I am going to quiz her about whats been said on here and why the fact they have the same address as another company.

    I am so grateful I found this thread before my interview. it has been a real eye opener thanks so much.
  • please have anyone heard of SRJ marketing LTD. It's in Liverpool. I have an interview with them. I just want to be sure its not one of those scam door to door marketing companies.:

  • Just wondering why the title of this thread and the first post are being censored. Are these scam artists trying it on with legal threats against MSE?

    Sounds like it to me I'm afraid. I saw loads of these job ads when I was up in Liverpool a few years back. They are dangling the carrot of promotion (which is unlikely) to hook you on door-to-door sales for a gas company. And you're probably going to find it's commission-only with no basic wage.
