I just had a witheld number call from an organisation calling itself "Stroud Forward". They said that they wanted to do a holiday survey. I've no idea who they are and google brings up nothing. When I asked them what or who they were they put the phone down on me. Hopefully this thread will eventually be useful to anyone else who googles them.

I assume it was Stroud Forward and not Stride Forward.

    Has anyone any experience of this company. They're inviting us to a conference - promising us a luxury UK holiday for £19 per person. See website

    If it seems too good to be true ............

    I expect it'll be be a hard and extremely prolonged sales pitch and they will probably try very, very hard to get you to divulge your bank or credit card details.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
  • We have just had calls from these people as well. Promising a luxury holiday for £19pp and high street vouchers to cover the cost of petrol to Oxford. As Heinz says, if its sounds too good to be true.......it probably is!
