02072343560

I received an email from a company called London Marketing Services
address LOWER GROUND FLOOR SHAND HOUSE 14-20 SHAND STREET LONDON SE1 2ES
and saying to contact them in this numbers T: 020 7234 3560, F: 020 7234 3569 for a preliminary interview.
This company hasnt called me but its still a scam because i have called them!

Having receiving the initial email informing me that I was chosen for an informal interview, I had this unsettling feeling in an instant. But I thought to myself, there is no harm in going for the interview as it is only an interview. I was interviewed with another candidate and we both had to tell them why we want the job.. etc etc etc.. They called me within an hour to tell me that I successfully passed the 1st interview and they would like me to return the next day for the 2nd interview. Turns out my suspicions were spot on, I got home and I searched about the company and searched the telephone number and BAM!! It's a slave labour scam! I am so glad that I found reviews to help me find out the easy way, so here is my case and I hope it helped.

I had the same experience, but in Nottingham. I was told to come back for a second interview only to find i was plonked on a bus to derby and sent out cold calling. Straight away i told them that wasn't what i applied for and i was off home, they left me in the middle of derby with no directions home.

Don't bother even going to the second interview. Seriously!

Thanks for your comments guys. I am supposed to have a 2nd interview in Nottingham tomorrow. You have just saved me 8 hours of my time and a whole load of petrol money.

just recieved an email regarding a preliminary interview with EA and as i thought it is surely a scam. I have not gone to the interview but i should let you all know of other scammers like "devere and partners and jobs in dubai.com they all want money up front etc!dont look for work on the internet,most of the good stuff is in the local newspapers,carrer centers and top recruitment magazines!

hey guys,

i just wana say i got the same message, I'm really upset on how they manage to get my details, Im not impressed at all i have not called them at all but i feel the need to tell them about their selfs.... i knew it was a scam as soon as their website was not working it gave it away....

I applied for a job with EA AQUISITIONS for one of their marketing and sales positions the other day and got an email straight away inviting me to a preliminary interview - the interview is in a couple of days but reading this i do not think i will go. The receptionist also had a australian/south african accent.

hey guys went there for an interview and got a call back for another one! i wonder if they ever reject anyone lol
anyways went there the second day and had to shadow one of the girls that was already working there took a tube to some shady area and did some door to door....something I would honestly never do till late night esp during winter!!!
it was horrible! they had so many people coming in for interviews its crazy!
Yea im glad I decided not to pursue anything with them !

LMS also work under the name of UNIK Corp. The office is in Old Street.

Hello,
I really need help by tommorrow.
I have had a phone call today to say that i have an interview for London Marketing services. I have read all of these reviews and i dont think i want to go beacuse of these reviews.
Is it really that bad?

Helpp!

omg i aplied through a leading online agency, n i got a email to call the above number for a interview, i callded n today is my interview after reading this i dnt think il be going now.

Hi,

I also got an email and a call saying I am suitable for the LMS. I am meant to go for an interview today but will not be wasteing my £7 train fair.

Thanks so much for the advice everyone.

Grateful!

i got a call today around 6.30 pm saying i have been chosen to come in for an interview tomorrow for 4.30 i dont know if i should go or not cos i dont remember applying for this place. anyways should i shouldnt i. hmmmm i dont want to waste time going all the way to london bridge only to find something wrong.

I worked for Ea worldwide for 2 months and the only reason i stopped is because i'm not confident enough to speak to people. I dont understand why people call it a scam. I think people don't listen to the managers when they speak . It is comission, you do work long hours but the reward is great. but its hard work. That why so many people think its a scam. Even though my time was short there i learnt some valuable skills which has helped me in my new job. Its not a pyramid scheme because they don't ask you for money so make your own mind up. If they were a scam then clients like THe British Red Cross, Talk Talk would not work with then. THink about

i worked for ea and know all those managers. It's not scam and they DONT call everyone for the second interview. The company started in the usa and it's true they've worked with asda, tesco, barclays, celtics, disney..  with so many critics i guess the police/government or whoever that's relevant would have done something long time ago since they've worked in london for 2 years and a half now.
it's a business development program, it's not 9-5 easy and relaxed office job, it's an oportunity to get to management and the skills i learned are priceless. Even useful for my interviews now and current job.
instead of listening to people complaining that dont even know what it's all about u should go and check it yourself.. it's a voluntary interview and maybe an opportunity some of u are looking for

MASSIVE MASSIVE SCAM!

I went for the 2nd interview having been told I would be required from 9.30 til 6pm at the very latest to go out for the day with one of their "Trainee Managers". I didn't leave until 8.30pm! All day the rep attempted to make me feel like I had no chance of getting this job (however, as she learnt later in the day I'm alot older than I look and being talked down doesn't make me feel small, it makes me think I'm being talked at by an idiot.) and how it's such an amazing company to work for.
Having been told to make sure I asked lots of question, I made sure that I did, however she didn't like being asked what benefits (ie holidays, sick pay,etc.) there was (answer being none), what the basic was (again, NONE!)
and what support you were given by the company (surprise surprise NONE unless you call happy clappy B.S, being told your special and high-fiving (seriously!) every five minutes.
After being dragged aroung all day and then made to sit in the foyer while the reps all went for a cuddle (I'm assuming here but wouldn't be surprised) I then was made to do another interview where I was fed more B.S than I could handle at that point and bizarrely was offered the job. Smelling a big fat stinky rat I did some research and all suspicions where on the money- to the point I haven't been able to find a U.S office for these clown.

DODGY!
