    we have had this a few times, call you and say you agreed to advertise a month or two back, as we never agree to an advert over the phone I know its a scam. Ignore them totally.
  • This is a scam I have fallen for so far they have done my business out of £6000 the worst thing I did was to give them my Mastercard details as they now help themselves every month to my money, every month I phone them and every month I get the same rubbish that I agreed to the payment via a verbal contract and theres nothing I can do, so I thought i'd phone a certain Bank who issued the card to get a new card with different numbers and to tell them to stop the payments to this " charity " I get my new card with exactly the same numbers and this company are still robbing me every month.

    i get loads of call from these scammers, especially ones like U FIND US etc..

    one said something very similar, the trick is to deny all conversation and and tell them either they have got the wrong number or they are wasting their time.

    never give them your name, always ask what it is regarding before confirming any names.

    hope this helps
