ABSSUK Ltd are scammers

Initially, we were interested, as money is tight, and we have also suffered a recent Redundancy...we emailed an enquiry to get clearer information on what was required as we felt just stuffing envelopes was to easy!!! The reply just said; "you fill envelopes and get paid, easy as abc/123", which to us is a less than professional response. But, we thought for a bit longer, perused the website more. We were about to join, when we noticed a prompt for an extra £9.99 for Premium Member Support. We sent another email to them requesting more information, as there was none on the website. The good thing was that we got a reply almost immediately, the bad thing was the answer; "you earn more cash"...Brilliant...that didn't help at all. So I emailed back;"Please advise in more detail". The immediate reply to that was;"extra support".

I gathered that, but still not clear enough. For a company who seem to have such an elaborate, convincing website, it's a pity that they are unable to compose a simple message to pull in (scam) more workers. Actually, thinking about it...Daniel1 seems to have their spelling abilities!!!

Luckily, we have decided to give it a miss. Thanks also to the information posted here. DON'T DO IT!!!!!

It's a shame, the way things are Economically at the moment, there are many Vulnerable people out there. These Scammers are preying on them, trying to line their own pockets.

Thank you for posting the warnings about these scumbags, I came across their ad in a free rag I picked up in Tesco called 'Training & Job Opportunities', and will be drawing this advert to the publisher's attention, my suspicions were aroused when I noticed there was no accreditation such as the DMA on their website as well as the fact that they wanted you to part with 50 quid, you don't need t be a mathematician to figure out what a nice little earner this scam can potentially net, it seems the old maxim still holds true, "If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is!"

Just like yas i joined them too wanting a genuine business from home in 2007, when i realised they were scams simply by the horrific spelling errors on the induction literature, i wrote back within 7 days as per their refund policy but they did not pay a penny back. this is the reply...

Hi Everyone,

I joined abssuk home mailing program and paid a fee of £49.99 (apparently refundable once I send my first batch of 100 envelopes). Initially I did have my suspicions but thought it wouldn't hurt to try and I could always make £49.99.

On their site they make it out so that people would get the impression that all they have to do is stuff envelopes with other company ads. Unfortunately this is not the case, it seems all along they are just advertising themselves. They send you leaflets so you can advertise them (with your own money) and generate more members for them who like me fall victim to their conniving ways and end up paying £49.99 to their benefit.

Why am I writing this? Because I am !!!!ed and aside from that I just want people to know that NEVER EVER EVER EVER join a home mailing program especially abssuk.

There is so much I have learnt about this company which I dont have time to list here just yet, I will publish it on a different post (I might even be tempted to scan their cheap manual).
