    I need to point out to Adam (as he is posting without permission)


    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/site/forum-faqs


    We do not allow advertising of any type on the forum. This is against the forum rules (see Why was my post about my company/site/blog deleted?).
    If you see something written about your company and would like a right of reply please see How do I get a right of reply on what's been said about my company?
    We also have a very limited number of 'Company Representatives'; these are checked out and verified spokespeople for specific firms. This status is granted entirely at our discretion, where we've identified it as being in forum users' interests.
    Which type of companies are allowed?

    We strictly limit it to household name companies which have huge numbers of customers and companies that have been mentioned in the MSE guides or non-profit advice agencies we have a relationship with.
    Why are company representatives allowed?

    The primary aim is to allow reps to help MoneySavers who have issues with the company - providing redress or instruction on how to work with it better - it is not and must never been seen as an avenue to sell or promote products.
    Companies reps are enabled to allow a company to answer existing and numerous questions posted on the forum about the company or its services.
    We limit the number both so we're not swamped, but also as there are a critical mass of MSE users who are customers of these companies and want redress.

    Well me Mr_Oink I won't be going for a job with Foxy coms. Something else maybe in the works for me.

    Sorry Foxy comms for wasting your time!

    Wish you all the luck!

    I worked for Foxy Comms for 1 day and have to say it's very professional and they seem a good bunch. I couldn't do the job though as it's VERY boring and the calls are constant.

    To all those people moaning about "telephone spammers" etc: Telesales and cold calling is a huge industry and it's been running as long as I can remember. Yes, the calls can be a nuisance but all you need to do is simply hang up on the company if you don't want to hear what they are offering.

    Some of you are very catty and attack companies so quickly - Foxy Comms is a legit company, it's just not for me. If you can put up with constantly surveying people for 7 hours per day, you will enjoy it and make a very good wage.

    Sure, that's why the addresses are (a) plain wrong (b) don't exist (c) no trace of them with the TPS. One of the directors even seems to have an issue with her home address. Is she in Wokingham or Wonderland ? Too many inconsistencies for it to be 'legit' in my opinion - but hey, I've been expecting some positive comments on them - just waiting for the 'I've worked for Foxy Communications for x weeks and they pay and are fully above board' type of posts to start flooding in ......... >>>>

    Why have you got such an issue with them Mr_Oink?

    I would just like to say that i posted on here a few weeks ago about foxy comms as i really wanted to hear if anybody had any experience with them and i was accused of being something to do with them, the trouble is with these posts is that if anybody writes anything decent about foxy comms they are accused of being a part of their business so how on earth is anybody ever going to find out if they are any good or not! I am going to give them a try and will put my experience with them on this site, good or bad! Of course if its good i will be badmouthed and if it is rubbish i will be congratulated, how sad for all the hardworking people trying to find a way to earn a bit of money rather than sit at home being paid by the state to spend time posting rubbish on this site!

    Looking at your contribution to this site you have posted 7 times, all in this 'Foxy Communications' thread. Considering the plethora of ideas to save and make money on this site it strikes me (and it's only my opinion) that you are more interested in 'bigging up' Foxy, than you are in playing any constructive part here.

    Let's just say, for a moment, that Foxy are a scamming bunch of phone spammers using bent details to keep the regulators off of their backs. Putting them to one side do you honestly feel that there is no other useful help, advice and suggestions here in the thousands of posts at MSE to help - and I quote you:

    Have you tried *anything* else to make money other than [STRIKE]Foxy[/STRIKE] - please feel free to share you experiences with *other* options you have tried from this site :D

    i came on this site to try and find out info about foxy comms, i have been looking for work i can do at home around my family that dosent make me work for hours and hours for nothing, telesales or market research sounds perfect if done from home, why do i feel every time i make a post i am being persecuted or accused of being something to do with foxy comms perhaps people like you should keep your personal feelings to yourself and write something concrete instead. like i said i shall be putting my experience with foxy comms on this site as and when!

    anyone noticed the amount of PERSONAL details they expect you to send via an insecure link ??

    http://www.foxycomms.com/JobApp.html

    Name, Address, DOB, nationality , sort of stuff that identity theft people would love if it was intercepted !!

    theres also no Data Protection act registration I can find (which is a legal requirement for storing and handling that sort of data) so you have no real idea how you data is held or used ( seeing there is also no privacy statement)

  • It looks like someone obviously doesn't like my comments that said previous posts were deleted. Let's see if this one will disapprear. I haven't said anything wrong in THIS post, have I?

    For your information I have tried various telesales jobs working from home, advertized on here, jobcentre plus and jobsite but I do not like selling, Foxy comms is the only one that i can find that is a job just asking people for their time to complete surveys not selling, so before you accuse me of anything else i would like to make that clear, secondly as i said before i only came on this site to find out about foxy comms why the hell would i want to make any posts about anything else, i am too busy trying to find work not sit on my derriere and make absurd accusations on anything i feel like! i shant be making or reading anymore posts on this site so dont waste your time badmouthing me either as obviously that is all you are good for. Why not get yourself a job!
