Top Closer?

I am not a failed ex-employee I assure you.

However, yes I am doing the rounds.

But I do not have a great deal of time on my hands.

This is getting very boring due to the reluctance of the authorities to take appropriate action!

do not believe you, if you are not an ex-employee Smiffy then put your company name down, surely you have nothing to hide?

Just the same experience from this company - offered that our EU project has been chosen from the EU officials as the only one to be in their coming publication dealing with the new EU 2020 program.
refused to send more information by email - said that they had to get my decision (1 page for 3000 €) just now because the EU officials were in video conferencing with them and need the decision ...

They were also referring to the Finnish funding agency Tekes that they are in this publication too and we have to be with also because we get funding from them and EU...

I told that we make any decisions concerning  project dissemination and publishing in the Media by one agressive phone call.. she was complaining that she don't understand why I can't make the decision - said that all others in similar position had said yes...finally my phone battery was empty.
Took 26 minutes of my working time..

Advice to others: NEVER make ANY decisions so that you are ordered to act IMMEDIATELLY.

This number is not used anymore and has been out of action for a long time Publicservice.co.uk changed their number last year again this is a ex-employee playing games again, also apart from ex employees and ME we are the only viewers.

Just had a call from them after a break of a year - new number being used 0044 131 5531100 Needless to say after being down this road before they are not getting passed me.

New Number

Afternoon everyone, just though I would add my two pence into this discussion.

I was employed by there scum bags and drawn in by the massive amounts of money to be earnt and the credibility of the company.  

[***]. Basically there is a room with 20-30 people in and phones. There are no computers, there is no database, the staff have to go home at night and basically google the companies that they are going to call the next day. So when you get asked to be removed, there actually is no database. The staff have a pile of numbers/companies/directors and call through them all day.

It is a joke, I have worked in sales for many years, including double glazing sales, this is by far the worst.

If your wondering why they are so harsh on the phone, it is because you are told in induction that if you put the phone down or end the call without a sale you will be sacked. You have to get the decision maker to buy or put the phone down on you.

It is a terrible business, I am not sure how it is still running but it was massively going down hill when I was there.

I left after a month to much relief, and found sites like this when I left.

Terrible company, I feel for you all.

Ex Employe...everything you said is correct . I worked for them earlier in the year. The 'research' they want you to do at home takes about 2 hours plus EVERY night. Encouraged to lie ...say there is 'one page left' and that your working to a deadline.

They have a worcester office now . Their number is 01905 20202. Give em hell.

We have also blocked these callers now, agressive, unprofessional sales people.  how does this actually work in todays day and age?  is there a body that can be contacted to report them?

they have changed their numbers now

This should be illegal! Thankfully cold calling is soon to be outlawed in the UK, let's hope this puts these out of business.

As the Managing Director I was bombarded by calls, email and voicemails on my business lines, home phone and mobile. They told my daughter who answered the home phone that it was regarding funding and the European Commission and they urgently needed to speak with me.

After refusing to speak with any of my Management, an onslaught of bombarding and rude, harrassing behaviour commensed for 40 minuites. After assuring me that this was all about gaining me funding and contracts for the European Commission and that my research and technology was directly being requested by the Commissioners themselves they proceeded to ask me for 8000 GBP or 16000 Euro (Not a correct conversion by the way.
When I stated that the refusal to communicate by email or attend meetings and the fact that I would have to pay to recieve funding and contracts sounded like a scam, and if this was legitimate then it was at best appaulingly offensive and unprofessional conduct and business practice I was rudely shouted at, my business and intellect insulted and the phone slammed down.

Over the next few days I received numerous emails from suspiciously personal hotmail accounts and phone calls from a UK cell phone +447823330526 at unsociable hours such as 8am and 11pm, demanding that I take part in this "project for the European Commission" by paying her this ammount which was now somehow only 6000 if I signed and returned a contract with in the next 15 minuites.

If this had been a company in my country this lady would possibly be facing charges for harrasment and corporate misconduct.

I asked some questions and did some research of my own;

I would be very weary if I recieved any more calls from:
Public Service Europe
Public Servie UK
Public Servant
Public Service Events
Defence Management
DMJ
All the same company 'publicservice.co.uk ltd" a small advertising company in the UK.

It sounds to me very much like they just buy contact email lists off the internet, which I found out you can buy for as little as $2000 and email an advertisment to poor unsuspecting individuals.
I doubt very much if the majority of the emails are even read, or make it past the junk filters.

If you want to give a few tens of thousands to a crook and what appears very much like a dubious scam then by all means go ahead!

Better still ask them to provide proof that their testimonials are genuine or to provide accurate statistics on the track record of success of other companies who have used their services...no reply.

PSCA INTERNATIONAL has gone bust. As of August 2013 the company is in liquidation and all staff are now jobless and left with out salary owed to them.

No more calls!

Gordon warrender however has sent up two other companies adjacent digital politics ltd and pan European networks ltd

They have.. last week. I used to work there. Horrible place. Good Riddance

I worked there too, Pan isn't a new company its been going a few years but I believe Gordon has something to do with it. However Adjacent Digital Politics is new and has been runing since day after Public Service went bust as far as I know.

Confirmed - Adjacent Digital Politics is the same scam as PCSA were running before, from a new address.

Usual 'next to an article by xxx about this', 'last minute exclusive offer', '£6k for two pages', 'let me get hold of my editor to negotiate'

Adjacent Digital Politics Limited. - SCAM SCAM SCAM - linked to Public Service and Pan European !!!!! Con do not give them a penny!!!!

Pan has nothing to do with this company whatsoever

I can confirm that Adjacent Digital Politics is essentially the same company as PSCA international and publicservice.co.uk. All of the key figures are the same and they operate in the same shabby and unethical fashion that they always have. Making up articles or creating an article using second hand quotes from leading politicians and dressing them up as their own. Ccold calling businesses and lying about (deadlines) and making statements like " were looking for only 2 businesses from your field" and "we work with key decision makers" all a load of rubbish. Gordon Warrender still runs it ,staff are still told that all calls either end with a sale or the customer hanging up, otherwise they are out of a job. Still no computers or databases just staff sat with yellow pages and trade magazines who are forced to spend their evenings online looking for companies to call. No security or care taken in handling financial details. Card numbers written on bits of paper and left on desks and still employing sales managers with very obvious and well known substanpce habits.
All in all a company you should avoid at all costs. There are cheaper more effective ways to market your business.

It seems Gordon Warrender has given up on PCSA/Publicservicereview.co.uk and started a new operation called Adjacent Government (aka Adjacent Digital Politics Ltd). They are using the same MO - got a call today from 01270256563, usual high pressure sales tactics, naming key opinion leaders and big grant organisations they obviously have no real link to! Beware, huge scam - hopefully no one falls for them!
