  • The same Bastian that had a false energy comparison site that always made Outfox The Market appear cheapest and when it was posted on a Sunday within the hour the site went into maintenance mode. fyi what search engines quote for Outfox is not what you end up paying. You pay a lot more shortly after signing up.
    Yep. You got it. That’s the Bastion we’re talking about. 
    The thing is, the latest COMPANIES HOUSE submissions tell an interesting story. You’d be forgiven for thinking that they have been very economical with the truth there aswell. Painting a picture to the auditors & Barclays, that it is bright and rosey in the garden & to secure lending. 
    When in fact they have a very fragile business model. Any decent businessman knows that positioning yourself at the very bottom of the price market is very risky. 
    Unless of course you are Ryanair with billions of £‘s of cash reserves. 
    The problem is, their brand reputation is in tatters. They have successfully charged over the odds for arguably dodgey heaters. But they can’t position their energy operation at the same end of the scale because they would have no customers. 
    We just need to get the popcorn out and watch the drama unfold over the next 18 months. If they last that long.

    MattMiddlesborough, it takes less than 5 minutes providing meter readings and I retired at 48, unlike Neil Warnock still firefighting at the bottom of the Championship at 71!😂
    Hmmmmm🤔 I’m not sure about that. 
    I think you are missing the point. Millionaires have “going concerns”, properties, shares, side operations, investments, businesses, complex tax arrangements.
    Watch Richard Bransons’ “day in the life on Necker Island” YouTube videos.... he is busy all day with his “interests”. He doesn’t have time to chase a 50 pence savings on his electricity bill, and post every day about it, like you do. He doesn’t even pay someone to do it for him. He goes with the least headache option. 
    Furthermore, he wouldn’t live in Northampton 😆 😝 🥴
    ( not sure where the stokebroker jobs are in Northampton - most of the bankers live in luxury flats in Canary Wharf or emigrate to Gibraltar amongst other places 😆😆😆 )

    Closest Clif has ever come to stocks is stock cubes (oxo). In the interim it has just been announced that Bastian and his companies are to face criminal proceedings in Germany. How long til that happens in the UK ?

    Clif isn't at all suspicious in the fact he coincidentally lives in Northampton where Bastian used to be based.
  • I left after the price hike that was sent out and they kept giving me the run around and excuses for not paying my £400 credit out. It took for me to leave them to get paid out the credit so i personally won't be using them ever again!
    Couldn’t agree with you more liontamerLou. Absolutely dreadful company. 
    I made the mistake of signing up to them for energy when I bought their horrific heaters. 
    They are full of the rhetoric and salesman patter. But in reality it is all hot air. Clearly this lot are a bunch of cowboys making all sorts of false claims and empty promises. Can’t wait to get shot of them.
    I’m currently trying to get rid of my heaters on e-bay. But no one wants them. There are loads on there, trying to offload them. I don’t hold out much hope.

    I am Darren Parlour
    the Darren Parlour also on Facebook Outfoxthemarket Discussion group.
    The Darren Parlour the guy you tried to sue for “hurt feelings” as I was a distressed customer
    A simple guy who in 50 years never had a debt, until one day he’s DD lept from £60 a month to £350.
    The same guy who in December 18 physicly paid over £800 for electric to escape you guys.
    I am the guy who got bot an OFGEM and ASA. Ruling that made you guys remove even your FB adverts and webpage.
    part of a team you guys have harassed and in one case one of the team (a respected serving police officer who met you for a swanky meal and ripped the site down just as he had bought a new house and needed the money) 
    you Tom Nurse are blighting social media and we watched and waited weeks for you to attack MSE.
    Any doubts Admin please look up Outfoxthemarket Discussion group on Facebook and see the dated posts 

    Anyone go for free to companies house to see themselves of a multi million pound DORMANT company and make your own minds up.
    throw in a unique recent announcement from OFGEM themselves, saying OTM was loosing there licence.......
    A British energy company that pays less taxes than Richard Branson lol

    Can't seem to find that one?
    There was the FiT one in Feb, but that wasn't saying they were loosing the licence and they dodged that anyway by paying on time.

    Wasn’t just the FIT mate
    so many rulings that get removed appealed then re instated lol
    Bastians companies are now very familiar with the ways of Ombudsman, but to Ombudsman credit they were now acting and following things through.
    Resolver have been crucial, fair play to those hard working guys.
    But my point is a very healthy budget spent cleaning the internet up, we watched astonished as everyone’s Teust pilot reviews removed despite proving genuine customers and replaced with torrents of positives
    the FB discussion group had a policeman and founder Stephen Bennet both offered life changing sums to remove and delete the group
    The policeman took it and referred to ethics committee poor guy.
    All the proof is there along with a sustained plan to overthrow MSE with fake accounts giving positive reviews to keep there numbers up
    Head of this group is Tom Nurse, everything available on FB
    I myself publicly laughed repeatedly when I heard plans, good luck hoodwinking MSE guys, they can sniff out a story without our help or statements lol
    easier to sneak a Bone out of a lions mouth than trick you guys
