I paid them £2,400 for 6 months course , it's a scam as they just make you write cv in 4 sessions and then you are off to go looking for job. They don't have any special connections as they promise therefor you go through advertised market anyways! Lamely their so called "campaign managers" call you weekly or 2 weeks to ask how you getting on ! Unbelievable! How can I report them or get my money back ?

I rceievied a text from them today so they are still operating. Message reads: "Robert I'd like to speak to you about your CV. Please call me today on 0113 292 6158, thank you, Sam Wright ..." I always check out unknown numbers on this or similar sites. I was looking for a job and my CV was on various websites. I didn't call him because of comments above.

Looks like our old friend Sam Wright has another mobile number, just been texted on 07860 021982

Do they never take no for an answer, bunch of con artists......

...looks like Sam Wright the resilient 'Business Partner' is still at it. (with a different number of course).

Dear Mr....

My Senior Consultant has asked me to contact you again. He believes that he can assist you to secure your next position and would like to meet to explore your current situation.

I had wondered if you would be available to meet with him this week in the London office.

I just received the same email and checked out the website.   Good to know it's just a ploy to get £££.

Dear Ms. Xxxxx,
My Senior Consultant has asked me to contact you. He believes that he can assist you to secure your next position and would like to meet to explore your current situation.
I had wondered if you would be available to meet with him tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning in the London office.

I got the same email too. I think it's a scam after reading the messages from everyone.Thank you for posting this!

Wow - Lucky I'm suspicious!  I too got the email which to be honest felt cloak and dagger and very much out of the blue...  Spoke to a guy called Craig Carter (UK) who has arranged for me to meet with Jim Tunstall, have, to be honest, thought all this was too good to be true and pressed them on how the were funded.  I was told they act as an outplacement service and they are funded by the clients who need quality people recruiting for them.  Maybe, but then I was told that they do have funded services but there wasn't any pressure to take them.  I arranged the appointment then did a big of digging and found this thread.  I don't normally log things online but this thread has been extremely useful and I suggest you follow the links yourself before making any decisions.  I'm going to cancel my appointment for my own reasons and am not encouraging anybody to follow my lead - you have your own mind, read the links and make your own decision :)

Thanks everyone, I had a meeting with Apollo scheduled for tomorrow, but my spider senses had been tingling as to who they actually were. I too received an unsolicited mail from Sam Wright a week or so back.

Then a follow up mail from somebody and finally another call and email from yet another name. All this and NO job has been mentioned. Their website is extremely amateur. No jobs to see, too many upbeat reviews and profiles of 'directors' in cheap looking offices. So at least the authorities can put faces to names if they're reported.

I won't bother with the meeting.

I received the same fake e-mail today. Who is this amazing senior consultant this Sam Wright represents, oddly no mention of their name.
These scamming [***] prey on desperation, surely something should be done.

=SCAM= Their senior consultant I met in Cambridge supposedly retired at 55. A former director of listed multi-nationals. (why would someone that 'successful' be working for a 'Ieading' company like Apollo but they operate out of a rented Regus office space....
Went to the meeting out of curiosity purely.
After a few minutes quickly picked up this is a Scam and that I wasn't being approached by them on behalf of a company that wants my expertise.
The consultant started whittling off companies they deal with and I thought to myself none of those companies will offer salaries even close to what I am earning...
Have a look at the photo's on the website. you will note that a lot of the consultants are sitting in the same chairs, in front of the same windows, in the same Rented offices. The consultant casually mentioned their fee is "2 WEEKS WAGES" for their service.
All the leading companies in the world have their own Careers portal on their own websites for Genuine advertised positions and best of all it is 100% absolutely FREE.

I took a call from them yesterday & it was consistent with all of the previous comments so thanks for that, however its a new person & new number.....

Sam is still at it!!
Received an e-mail this morning from Sam Wright, exactly the same details as those quoted on here. I was highly suspicious and immediately did a google search and found this thread - thank you so much for all the info. - E-mail now blocked and deleted.

Interestingly I did apply for a role through Total Jobs yesterday which I see has also been mentioned before, looks like maybe the common denominator!

Sam Wright really gets around.
I received what appears to be the standard email this morning and obviously I was pleased to see another potential job opportunity. Halfway through my response saying I would be delighted to meet I decided to have a quick look around and found this info, so thank you for the warning. My suggested meeting location was Whitely, near Southampton.

Sam wright now in Leeds.
Got same standard email as everyone else, senior consultant etc etc.Pleased I saw this link. Sounds like it's now not where's Wally! But where's Sam.

I have received the same, a waste of time.....
Dear Ms. Court

My Senior Consultant has asked me to contact you. He believes that he can assist you to secure your next position and would like to meet to explore your current situation.
I had wondered if you would be available tomorrow or Monday in our London office.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your experiences on this thread as I just replied agreeing to meet Sam Wright. I shall be cancelling that appointment now!

I have received sane message but to meet in Reading.

The ubiquitous Sam Wright is still at it. I recieved the standard email inviting me to a meeting 50 miles away in Reading. I responded suggesting a few alternative dates. No response in the 4 days since so I've just emailed asking 'Sam' if the silence means his Senior Consultant is now no longer confident of securing me a job. Lol.

Different phone number for Sam now:

Sam Wright
Business Partner
Telephone: 020 3409 1331

I might just call it and play dumb.

Yes received 2 emails from "Sam Wright" (Southampton) phoned after the first one and they said they do not do phone calls, they only meet in face to face. This did not sound right so declined. Second email I replied with "unsubscribe" an told them to remove my details from their databases. We will see what happens.   There office is in Whitely: Address:
