Well I to have applied for the same position and I am through to the final stages awaiting a face to face interview, I came across this thread when I was researching everything about the company incase I get the interview.

I was alarmed to read the comments here so I called the UK number I mean I don't know why no one tried that yet! and a very nice chap answered the phone and when I told him about this thread he was quite stunned and annoyed he said it is a legitimate job offer and people should research the company more before applying for the job anyway.......and if they didnt like the recruitment process they didnt need to be part of it.

I Called this number 0)1367 709385 he really did sound very legit, said douglas was the MD and he couldnt understand why people would come up with 1+1 and get 3.

indeed

A: "Is it a scam?"
B: "Take a look at this link which suggests it is"
One post newbie: "It is brilliant"

I am also short listed for this job but got worried when I saw your posts so went round there incog as I only live 5 miles from Swindon for my sins!

You are all barking cynical skeptics! They occupy the top floor of the building they are in. All very pro. Spoke to a really nice lady who could not be more helpful so I am dead happy with it :j

Worked for them long have you???

I felt like a detective cat, so i did some digging around.

I started from the VAT number, which i was quite suripised to be registered to a DOUGLAS GRAY with his company DATATEC - DATA UK.

It turns out that Douglas used to be a surveyor and can speak good arabic. (weblink, i am a new user so add http) uk.linkedin.com/pub/douglas-gray/9/65b/7b0. It seems his profile is just a front, as he now lives in new york city, running this business from there.

He also runs this company (anotherweblink...)Best4USA.com.

There is only one business called Datatec Ltd, but why would a company not inculde registered details on a website?

The address is also linked to Elite Cars (Again, add http) elitecarsuk.co.uk.

Also, this is not very healthy... his company is selling 5,000 email addresses (inculding mine more then likely) for £69. (Add address)business-box.co.uk/order.html)

This utterly !!!!es me off, as this !!!!!! has my CV and my Uni Email address... think i will think twice about applying for jobs though the job center in the future....

Just would like to note. I am the Douglas Gray but not this one. I would rather not see my profiles on other sites coming up as possibly his.
