  • Hi,
    I too was taken in by this character, he was VERY professional and VERY convincing. I have even gone to the expense of gaining the Chauffeurs Guild certificate, at least now I'm looking for work again it is another string to my bow. I was a bit unsure but ignored my instincts as I needed a job and this was ideal. Dressed nicely, great pay, nice car to drive....too good to be true!!! YEP! Only decided to seek further when Chauffeurs Guild said they had enquiries about company but assumed they were on a recruitment drive ... some drive, we've all been taken for a ride!!
    This man needs to be brought to justice and be in prison for a long time. We may not get reimbursed but I hope he gets his just rewards, long and hard, in more ways than one! Please, more people go to the police about him, newspapers and any publicity. Make people aware of who he is and what he is/was up to. The only way to stop low lifes like this. Write to your MP's and get vetting for people who advertise on the Job Centre Website. Thanks!! Sorry about the long rant!
  • Hi,
    Does anyone have a print out of the original job spec for this job from the job centre website? I can't find my one but I would like a copy if anyone can help. Thanks.

    He HAS been arrested. But it was on an unrelated matter and is currently in prison & has been for about two weeks. This info was from Sheffield Police.

    I attended the interview on 04th May But paid the money just after I got sent a letter by them, Im not botherd about losing the money just feel humiliated, I have also contacted WATCHDOG on the BBC so if everybody does the same we might be able to get him quicker,
