Hi
speaking of second incomes, back in August I called a number in the paper relating to an Ad I saw to work from home. The gentleman I spoke to was extremely friendly and very convincing, and so I risked giving my details. After several phone calls, he came to my home and set up all the packages that I would need to help me carry out my job. To cut a long story short I work about three weeks for them, before realising that they were not going to pay me. I wouldn't have minded but I had to use my house phone to call enginners on their mobiles, just because he wanted to wait before giving me a mobile. I am still very cross about it because i dont like to work for nothing. I contacted him several times asking for my money, to which he replied on each occasion its in the post, well I'm sure you can guess, that particular post never arrived.
Just so your all aware never to fall into the same trap as myself, the company are called FINCHLEY COURT -based in Torquay Devon.
Is there any suggestions, Im sure he is feeling rather smug with himself that he got work from me and paid nothing

I am very sorry to hear about your situation but thank you for information so I can be very very careful

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can stop a company like Finchley Court of 90 Avenue road, Torquay, Devon, TQ2 5LF, (formerly based in Birmingham) scammming anyone else in the future, like they did to me.

Thanks for the warning on that one Jay1, hope everybody takes note! Suppose your first port of call would be office of fair trading. Did you sign any paperwork etc? Keep everything you have relating to this scam-monsters, you might need it for evidence etc. What do Finchley Court 'do' anyway?

HA HA Me too!
I did Kleeneze for a while until I took a cheque from a house and it bounced...of course I went back and the house was empty :rolleyes:
I managed to sell the stuff I was left with but on the market for way lesss than it cost me.

I did Avon twice and even though I did make quite a bit of money, I always spent twice as much myself anyway - I couldn't help it as I just love Avon products

It was a lot easier back then too as I had the Pram to carry the brochures and products on...now I would never be able to carry them
