    all can say is....he got caught...he is behind bars. It was a scam. Porter gate house was never an office only a 'virtual' office...I dont think he ever paid anyone for anything. I have no idea what his real name is.......but it is sad that good people lost money through heartless behaviour. Lets all just thank the lucky stars he did get caught and no one else suffered

    So if this guy is behind bars (thank god) wat about his accomplice? The so called Paula or is it Jane !! Was she the mastermind behind the website?

    If you put the postcode for the Sheffield head office into google earth it comes up as a terraced house on a side street off Eccleshall Road.

    He hired temps from agencies to help interview and didn't pay the bills...........no accomplices, just normal people who didn't know!

    I would be really interested to find out the whole truth on this terrible scam, this could have cost us my husbands job, it has put a terrible strain on so many people and it wont end until everyone who is due to start work on the 14th June find out. How can we ensure that these people dont hand in their notices at current jobs - should we be contacting the local news papers?
    If he's not Mark Shortland or Mitch who is he?
    I phoned Peter House in Manchester today where my husband had the interview, they already new about the scam as they have had phone calls from other victims of this fraud.
    How do you know he is behind bars?

    A former taxi driver operating in the north-east Derbyshire area but coming from Humberside? And one who employed an unlicensed driver? That sounds a little coincidental.

    Read This from The Star (Sheffield)

    Another coincidental aspect would be a man by the very same name with connections in the same village in Humberside who would seem to be an undischarged bankrupt.

    Check this out from the Individual Insolvency Register

    A man by the very same name just happens to be the registrant of the www.nwdservices.co.uk website ostensibly from an address in Sheffield just where the above article was published and where the company's head office is. Is this just more coincidence?
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    just reported this to Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire police, they advised that all affected should do the same, the more evidence the better.
