Jeeves, thanks for the advice. The card was stopped with the bank immediately, no problems there! However, we have returned the goods as they were clearly unwanted and sent letters to the registered office in Woking which, btw, does not exist (!) and the returns address in Essex requesting refund but no joy to date. Have spoken to a Mr. Brian Reed, on this number , last week and he has promised a refund by today. He has a slightly dodgy accent as do the 'office' staff so how we get straight through to the far East calling a 0203... number, only BT know! This distance between them and us and lack of employees in this country which we can 'visit' makes it difficult to express the urgency and seriousness of it all. Next stop will probably be Trading Standards, but we are not sure what they can do for us.
Keep calm....but don't answer the phone!!

Glad to have helped.  As you know, if you have read posts on here, this scum are based in Mumbai and Goa and the addresses in the UK, if they exist, are only accommodation addresses to make them look legit.  BT doesn't really have anything to do with the numbers as they are spoofed, i.e. made to look like UK numbers.  There are companies which you can see on Google which offer numbers made to look like anywhere in the world.  Good, isn't it?  Do contact Trading Standards and Action Fraud as, even if they cannot get at the top people, can at least put out the word about what they are doing.  Other posters on here seem to have found that, by telling the "agents" that they are contacting these organisations, have had success in geting their money back.  As I advised another poster, would it be worth getting your father a call blocking device?  You can set it up so that he only gets calls from people he wants to hear from.  Whilst i am not "pushing" it, I have not had a single unwanted call since getting my BT8500 'phone a few months ago. I only come on here to check numbers I find on my call log when I check who has been trying to get through.

Check spelling.     Fake Tam lets himself down every time.   See "dont" and "reconise".    What about "gotten round"?

These people are scum! My Grandmother is almost 90, she has dementia and is easily confused by these disgusting phone calls. At the beginning of the month I went to visit her and found a package full of these so called Aloe Vera supplements (I'm sure there's barely any trace of anything beneficial in them). There were 15 packets with 12 tablets per pack in them and a payment slip inside which showed that she had been charged £246.90. My Mother has the lasting power of attorney for my Grandmother's estates and sent the tablets along with a copy of the invoice and a note telling them to reimburse her,  back via Royal Mail recorded delivery to their registered address, which as has been mentioned above, is only a mailing address and the 'directors' are actually based in India. We checked a few days later and the parcel had been signed for and therefore was now their responsibility, however rather than being reimbursed they took a further £246.90 just a few days later. Fortunately the bank have managed to reclaim the second payment but we are still trying to get the original payment. My mother has phoned and was told that she would be phoned back, obviously they never did call back and now they are ignoring her calls and emails. This is not the first time that this has happened but it WILL be the last. For anyone in a similar position, please look up the BT 8500 phone on the BT website, we were told about this by the bank when we went to stop the payments, it allows you to block any unknown or international calls, we have also changed her number so that these scum bags can't sell her number on any further. Lets hope that Karma really does come around.

This scam extorted £266 from my elderly father , they are the worst kind of scammers has they target the pensioners , i am intrested if anyone has  solicitors enquried this scam.

I would imagine legal action would prove lengthy and expensive, due to thew fact the perpetrators are situated in Goa, India. Why not send the director a message on their Facebook profile letting them know how disappointed you are with their organisation? https://www.facebook.com/raju.kherani

You've got nothing to say now have you "Allen"?! I'm glad we have taught you to shut up - you disgusting parasite!

Fortunately , unearthing scams has been my forte and that too scams leading to us vulnerable.

My visit to India and back has been insightful with many documentary evidence to nail such scams, i have been assured of more evidence once i reach India post Christmas, one such scami is mentioned below,

This is regarding the Company named “Sanda Wellness” which is into health supplements related to various health concerns. Sanda Wellness changed its name to “Natural Wellness Products Ltd” which filed for insolvency and I understand that, ironically has been sold to the company “Your Lifestyle Products Ltd” and is presently operating in the field of marketing health supplements by means of telemarketing in the UK . The fact that the Directors or atleast one Director in the company Your Lifestyle Products Ltd is common to the company Natural Wellness Products Ltd and thus it cannot be ruled out that the so called dissolution and sale of the company Natural Wellness Products Ltd is a mere eyewash and a ploy of its founder Mr. Ajit Patel to evade prosecution.

These people have no qualms about ruthlessly scamming elderly and vulnerable people - often those with dementia - out of hundreds or thousands of pounds. Therefore i think it is only fair they should be exposed for the parasitic scum they are. Sandwellbeing are deliberately targeting the elderly and vulnerable. They announce themselves as calling from the "Health Centre". They chat away about general health issues, show friendly concern, until they find one to focus on and then pursue a large sale. They transfer calls between individuals which helps to build credibility and confuse the target. DO NOT use them. They are a truly insidious and invidious group.

The NHS in Nottingham issued warnings about Sanda in 2010:
http://www.lpc-online.org.uk/nottinghamshire_lpc/?news_id=2592
Bogus call to Nottingham City patient instructing them to stop taking their prescription medication, Message received from GP practice in Clifton :-
A company from India under the name Sanda Wellbeing who apparently ‘phone the patient up and advise the patient to stop taking their medication.If patient's raise similar concerns practices / pharmacies should ask patients to report this to the local police.
The PCT should be informed if further incidents do occur.

Kent Trading Standards have received reports of bogus callers telephoning consumers pretending to be from a local GP surgery. The caller gives the impression they are from the NHS and asks what medication the consumer is taking. In one incident the caller persuaded the consumer they would benefit from taking Pomegranate tablets, they took credit card details and debited £179.50 from the account. A victim's son traced the call back to a company based in India. No NHS health professional would ever ask for a patient's credit card details over the phone.
Kent Trading Standards are warning consumers to be very wary of anyone cold calling and requesting credit or debit card details. If you are in any doubt at all end the call. In your home, on your phone, you are in control - hang up.

it appears that, owing to the inquiry launched by the Kent Trading Standards, Sanda changed its address last year and filed for liquidation. They have been successful in this ploy and are now operating as Your Lifestyle Products Ltd .

Sanda even had their own facebook page which has been abandoned after people had posted such gems as "The head of Sanda, Ajit Patel was on trial for years, when he was the Chairman of Goldshield, for trying to defraud the NHS by millions."

The director of Sanda Wellbeing Ltd (later known as Natural Wellness Products Ltd), Ajit Patel, also has a magazine called "Your Wellness" (print and digital: http://issuu.com/yourwellness ), published by Yourwellness Publishing Ltd and if you have a subscription for it they may have used the details you gave them to call you.

Vijay Bhagwandas Dalwani is also the Chairman of the Indian company DNY Hospitality Pvt. Ltd and his family members are Directors. These people have no qualms about ruthlessly scamming elderly and vulnerable people - often those with dementia.

As per his Web site he claims to be some DJ with albums connected to his name, wonder where the funds were wired from.

Meeting employees working with such scam companies has also revealed the amount of funds the Directors have diverted to their family and their accounts for personal gain is incredible.

Further inquiries into the affairs of Sanda has revealed that the company has also evaded millions in taxes, both in the UK and in India and as a matter of fact there is a Police Complaint filed against the Indian subsidiary Sanda Wellbeing Pvt Ltd for Tax evasion which is presently being investigated by the M.I.D.C. Police Station, Mumbai, India under complaint number: MECR 17/2014.

Astounding as it may sound, Mr. Ajit Patel and his cronies have now ventured in the field of developing Digital Applications for Smart Phones and have developed an App named               “n-gage messenger”, which brags to be a world's first 360 degree lifestyle Chat app. The Developer address also being ; Suite 010, The Beehive, Beehive Ring Road, Nr Gatwick Airport RH6 0PA .  Please note that Vijay Bhagwandas Dalwani is a Director in N Gage Marketing India Private Limited.

With a proven history of blatant violations of the TPS and Data Protection guidelines and also Tax laws in the UK and India, how safe your personal data will be is anybody’s guess.

Beware , check credential, it would be an disaster , scam companies to have easy access to your phone and data.BEWARE.

Do not believe any of the positive comments here. They are posted by people working for Sanda trying to reduce the incidence of negative feedback appearing on Google. I encourage all of you who have experienced this scam to write here and expose these unscrupulous fraudsters.

this is a scam - targeted my 84 year old mother & now want payment. Its atrocious :)

Gave my mum 24 boxes of 30 tablets costing £234 she has dementia don't know how to get her money back can any one help

Hi Ann, may I ask if you got your money back ok when you returned the goods? The same happened to my 90 year old neighbour, so trying to get in touch with them and was asked to call back and speak to a Brian. Just trying to make sure my neighbour gets her money back.

Same happened to my 85 year old father. Said he was only paying £11.95 charged £283 sent tablets 3 wks later. Made feel sick so he sent them back. Waiting for refund now over 2 wks. Been onto citizens advice and trading standards are aware. Web site doesn't exist and numbers ringing out.

i was conned by these scammers last friday 16/6/16 i am 79 and usually very careful about giving my card details over the phone but something barry watson one of the scammers said when he phoned me back because he was having trouble getting the money sent alarm bells so i rang my bank and now find the £127 back in my account live and learn hopefully

These parasites conned my 89 year old mum with dementia into ordering diet pills, for £281 as my Neice is a deputy manager in a care home she rang the company asking what there
Policy's were regarding vulnerable adults, the woman couldn't understand what she was saying and said her directed will
Ring back, but
Of course no phone call
Was recorded, so my Neice rang the bank to cancel all transactions and change the card to a new one ( so my mum has the
Old one which is no use and if she gives
It out they can't get anything from her account)  and the bank are refunding the money as its a clear
Case
Of fraud and they
Will be reporting it to the appropriate people , hopefully something will be done but it looks like they change there
Name often, so
I won't hold
My breath, and I'll be
Looking
Into
The blocking
Number from bt for future calls, I'm so angry that these people are getting away with this deceit everyday

Avoid this company they con artist. I had 15 boxes of tabs sent to me,which I never ordered, I phoned the company they said return the tabs. I replied I don't see why I would pay return postage when I never ordered them. They said they would arrange for them to be picked up which they never did. Then I learnt they had stopped £247 out of me bank. I phoned the company they replied l had not returned the tabs so I had to pay for them. Is now in the hands of the bank who are taking in to dispute. Be warned stay well clear of this company they as I say con artist

Do not use this company. They have just scammed my mother aged 88 out of £200 by selling tablets over the phone. Disgusting. They are targeting elderly people by taking their medical details and their prescription drugs and making it look
as if they are calling from her Doctors!' Very 'Wellbeing' for them!!

This company nutrellis wellbeing
Called my 90 year old mother who has dementia and took 198.70 out off her account and sent 20 boxes off aloe Vera extract pills charging 7.50 for postage , the number on the invoice does not ring and there is no way I'm paying return postage
This is a big scam praying on the old and vunrable
Does anyone know how I can get this sorted ,,,
