These guys, like all other posters on here, contacted me with the same email.

I have met with them in their Regus office - asked them for supporting references and after much pushing had something through, the content of which I am sceptical.

Now get the impression this is all about encouraging you to network - not actually helping identify a position and getting you in front of a decision maker.

Cost at several thousand pounds - not buying!

These scumbags keep spamming me.  They are pariahs who steal your details from job sites and conn you into meetings to review you career.  I was stupid enough to attend such a meeting (fortunately I had other meetings in Leeds so the day wasn't totally wasted) and they claim they can place you in fantastically paid positions that are not advertised.  Total scumbags - particularly when they get to the bit about how much you have to pay them!!  I would like to meet Richard Wozniak to personally tell him to f**k off!

I've had this three times in the last week, twice today.  Remember, they have stolen your details:

Hi all,
Just received the same e-mail from Katie, I have been suspecting this company as they keep asking me to send my CV. I thought they already had my cv, why are they requesting to see my cv again and arrange a meeting? I googled them and came across this site.  Am glad I have not bothered to arrange any meeting. Besides I wasnt going to go all the way to Birmingham to listen to any agent whatsoever. If they are serious they should come to me for an interview.
Thank you all for sharing.

"Dear Mr.XXXXXX

Spoke to them via a different 0800 number on the PCS website and they seem very professional, although something doesn't feel right to me. I certainly haven't got £2000 to give them so may well have to give them a wide berth.

They are still hard at it, just received this: if you go down to the sixth sentence they appear to be unprofessional there is even a name missing! 'meeting with  '

It's gone into the junk mail and numbers blocked.

"I've been trying to call you re your CV.  Please call me today on 0113 2052873 thank you, Katie Falkingham www.p-c-s.uk.com"

Same here, only I had a meeting with Mr Nick Storey this afternoon. All seems very legit, despite my original caution from getting the email. Did seem too good to be true and so searched for P-C-S and found this.
They wanted £3000 for career coaching etc. One thing,, he said they had picked up my CV, but then he didn't have a copy at the meeting (Regus at Davidson House).
I've just rung to say I wont be taking him up on this. Initially he answered with a name I didn't expect, then when I said who I was, he didn't recognise me or my name, even though we had met just 2 hours before for over an hour.

Thank you, I think you've just saved me £3000.

Company known as P-C-S, PCS, UK Apollo Group Ltd. (but no company reg number on paperwork).

Dear All

Having seen the messages posted on this website about our company I was concerned. I would have liked to respond to each one of you individually but this forum is set up so that you can only post a response at the end of the thread so apologies for the generic response.

We only contact individuals who have opted in to receive contacts, whether that be by registering on our own websites, or by registering on an affiliated site so if you have been contacted you must have registered your details somewhere to enable this. If you would like to be unsubscribed this can be done very easily - just email me your name and email address and I'll ensure that you are unsubscribed. My email is a.greenley@p-c-s.uk.com. Alternatively you can phone me on 0113 2052851.

If we have offered you a meeting and said that we've seen your CV, that is because we have seen your CV and are offering you a meeting. We offer up to 3 hours of career consulting free of charge so you are more than welcome to take this up. After the 3 hours, fees would of course be payable for any long term services.

If you thought we were a recruiter, we are not. We are a career management and outplacement consultancy. This may be why some of you have been surprised about the services we offer when you meet us.

We send texts to individuals that we can't get hold of. These are individual texts, and we do not spam or bulk text anyone.

If you would like to make any comments please feel free to do so to me directly - we are a genuine company offering a career management service so if we can help in any way please let me know.

Best regards

Operations Director

Everybody who feels being spammed by pcs I think should either complain with Monster or Linked in.
Just report them their and they will be judged.
This is the quickest way of getting rid of them I hope.

Dear Abigail,

I have been contacted twice in the past three working days with slightly differently worded emails from your colleague Jaime Sherwood, who has I am afraid chosen to ignore my replies.

Please remove me permanently from all your records.

I apologise for contacting you "publicly" but it seems the only way to get your company's attention.

Best regards
Christopher

Dear Mr Gallop

I have removed your details from our main database. To be 100% sure you're removed from the entire mailing list please can you email me your email address to a.greenley@p-c-s.uk.com and I'll ensure you're globally unsubscribed

Thank you
Abigail

Email to a Greenley

Hi,

Found your email address on https://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/01132523070/4

I have repeatedly (at least 10 times) clicked the unsubscribe button on the varied emails you have sent me including told by phone, Lee Bako, who left me numerous voicemail, texts and emails that I had no interest in your service.

I am always wary of companies and their web sites that do not provide legitimate identifiable contact information.

Please remove me. It is doing your company no good reputationaly  to behave in this manner.

I have a solution for nuisance and spam and that is to reflect that behaviour. I will gladly post the technique on the forum above to assist others in managing this intrusion.

I hope you can resolve this promptly and efficiently.

With regards,

Check your mail box, I will be invoicing you now for lost time for every spam mail you send me and the reasonable rate of 250 pound sterling per hour or part of.  Based on your current rate it will be quite expensive for you.  Next step will be reporting you for harassment..

I was contacted by them too and after arranging an interview date with them, I did a quick google search and found this forum, when I emailed them back asking for clarification they didn't reply back, instead I had another email by another name telling me the regional manager story again.
