I am sure that Albion Computer Services who are advertising below is a scam and linked to the other scam company D H Data Ltd. The job advert is almost identical and also advertised at every available opportunity for locations all over England. I expect they want personal details and bank details to use in some way without your permission (maybe identity fraud.) Or they want you to invest into a work from home scheme which is not what they are advertising. I am sure that the jobs don't exist so be careful.

Yes they do have a similar way of operating as DH Data.

The ASA recently ruled against DH Data

Dear **********,

Lines are open:
9AM to 7PM Monday to Friday

Anybody else tried them? I applied for this (mass job applications) through Reed, but I've noticed them on MANY other sites as well.

At 14:00hrs when I rang it, it said I was in position 23. Going to have a quick ring at 1am just to see what happens lol

They are using a revenue sharing 0844 number (its not a local call rate), which costs from 5p a minute to call depending on your supplier. It pays them not to answer the call quickly if at all,as they can get up to 2.5p a minute for each call.It makes you wonder if all their doing is getting people to call the 0844 number to generate money for themselves.

I saw this when looking for jobs for my Husband which I tend to do when Im bored lol. It seemed fishy to me just because of the amount per hour. And on Reed it had something like 71 applications just for the one in my area. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
