    Of course we don't have to make life too easy for them or simply inundate their inbox. We could always complicate matters by referring to members such as VC5 and P4rking3y3 and individuals such as P4tr1ck Tr0y and 51m0n R3n5haw-5m1th. Transposing figures for letters is enough - at present - to subvert Google Alerts. Google have already worked around the insertion of asterisks, spaces and underscores but numbers currently continue to confuse.

    Then again we could simply refer to companies by using an anagram creator. I wonder who could have these alter egos?

    Troika Crypt
    Portray Tick
    A Tricky Port
    Croak Tip Try
    Croak Pit Try
    Croak Tit Pry
    Pack Tiro Try
    Pack Trio Try
    Pack Riot Try
    Rack Trip Toy
    Rack Tip Tyro
    Rack Tip Troy

    And which company this could be:

    Praying Eke
    Praying Eek
    Paying Reek
    Grainy Peke
    Grainy Keep
    Grainy Peek
    Rag Pinkeye
    Gar Pinkeye
    Park Eyeing

    Others such as:

    Array Rectum Tics
    Attars Mice Curry

    Keep BPA Towers on their toes and overload those Google Alerts! Given the number of potential anagrams and were we to change them even once a week their search terms which become unmanageable after a while.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    I see that Conkai Security are now listed in the BPA Approved Operator Scheme.

    This does mean they can access the DVLA computer system now.


    Yep, along with the rest of the bunch. ANPR Ltd and Excel and all.

  • This is strange, there's this post with long lists of AOS members yet when I put a snippet of the list as my signature the Mods removed it. I wonder why?
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Do they get an alert for each and every mention ? If so I'd like to nominate G24 as a bunch of bananas !

    As mentioned ppp the BPA has set up Google alerts.

    So when ever a members name is mentioned it sends an alert

    I use google alerts myself, as I am able to keep an eye on my competitors and new developments.

    As stated by another pepipoo member, doing long quotes of BPA members is a waste of time and forum data storage.

    The reason for this is that
    1. Google alerts are 100% free
    2. Most users set them for a daily digest, thus they get ONE e-mail a day giving a paragraph for every entry found and within this the link, the subject and the first dozen or so words.
    3. It is a very quick operation for the user to scan the e-mail digest and only look at entries of interest, with the rest being discarded.
    Now if the BPA set up pay-per-click, that would really be something for us all to pile into - but even then, if they had sense they would set a financial limit.


    This thread should thus be closed (MODS please note)

    Considering this thread essentially died almost 2 months ago, it was to all intents and purposes "locked" (as in "forgotten about") until YOU resurfaced it. :T

    If this is the case why did a PPC complain to MSE about some of us having their name in our signatures ? Given how easy you make it sound, and that many PPCs claim we have no affect on their business, why complain ?
  • It's been a while now and I dunno if this thread is still active.

    If it is then is the OP still sure the list is up to date?

    Are the following still fleecing people?
