    wkd15...the bank details are as follows NATIONWIDE SERVICES
    sort code: 20-76-89 acc number : 93389871
    hope this helps.

    I was interviewed by mark shortland and a woman called paula at castle donnington. the fletcher gate address was originally on the website but changed to castle donnington after a few days.
    I have also googled mark shortlands name and found a taxi firms name and home address.upon looking at google earth at this address, wat looks like a BMW 730 stands proudly outside the house..maybe a coincidence !!
    If any1 wants this address please feel free to mail me, but i cant guarantee that this is the same person, cos mark shortland might not have been the guys real name.

    Thanks
  • If this is a scam, then what happens to all the personal details that people have filled in on the application forms?

    Hi I rung barclays fraud team and explained situation and gave them the account number people have paid money into they will investigate and hopefully nobody else will be able to pay money into that account number, which will stop this fool getting any more money
  • It's all very odd. There are several listings online, stating 16 drivers, listing several cars + 2 helicopters. It seems really extreme, some listings are even in a foreign language!
    But yes, as Delstan has already mentioned, it would appear that you do need a chauffeurs licence.
    The company registration number is a web based company, if you check the address out on google earth, it's a lovely (ahem) flat.
    Portergate House on Ecclesall road looks like it could quite easily be a head office/s for a/several companies. It would be good to see what’s inside!
    So…it would appear that many of us have been given a start date of 14th June, but what location?
    I think this is an awful scam. People are handing there notices in, looking forward to a new career, with good money. To lose £100 and end up jobless.
    Look forward to hearing more about this & what we can do about it.
