02086190070

Yesterday I got a very persuasive, friendly call from Jenny from womens wellbeing centre or a similar name - lots of compliments and questions about my health and lifestyle until she found an aspect of my health that's a concern - then the offer of cut price tablets. I was provided with a personal call number: 0208 6190195, website sandalifestyle.com. and Data Protection Registration number 63776213 long before the sell, but when it came to the pomegranate tablets Isaid I would never by a medical or health product without checking it thoroughly first - the phone call ended abruptly! Keep up the good work, I'd never give my card details out on the phone to anybody like this, but I hope this update helps somebody stop them!

Can't wait for you to get old, you malevolent blood sucker. Burn in hell.

i recieved a call yesterday from a julia walker( although she sounded very asian with an english name) saying they were assisting the NHS making people aware of healthy eating and taking care of ourselves. after a lot of probeing she discovered i had a problem with my knees. she went on to offer me rose X at a discounted price and proceeded to request my credit card details. when i refused, as i explain i never give my details over the phone, she then tried to get my debit card details, again after i refused she suggested i call her back so i would know she was a genuine person, although it would appear the number has changed slighty to 02086190195. she said the company was sanda life style from the well being centre. to say she was not impressed after a 20 minute phone call and not getting my card details, she became very rude and agressive saying i had wasted her time and she had a meeting to go to. BEWARE!!!!!!!!

Who should I report this to.

Mmum has been targeted I know they have had her for four hundred and shed been had againy as she is embarrassed she won't tell me how much worried .com

E-mail them at the address given by the Bali Bailey thing on previous pages.  Tell them they have 14 days to return your mum/'s money and send you a prepaid returns label to send their rubbish back to them.  Tell them you are prepared to take then to the Small Claims Court if they do not comply.  Also that you will contact the press and TV. Contact your local Trading Standards and report this scum to Action Fraud.

I disagree! My godfather received a call from the company selling pomegranate herbal medicine and told him it was £25 to try. He give them his card details and they took £150 from his account instead of £25. He didn't have a contact number for the so call company and it was when they rang back asking if he received the product he told them about money missing from his account. The lady said u have paid for a year supply which he didn't need as he had not try the product to see if it works for him.  Instead of admitting it was their mistake, they refused to refund his money and even up to last week they rang when I was at his home. I told them don't call again and put the phone down. Today my godfather told me a gentleman from the same company rang him four times yesterday talking about how it work for his elderly relatives, trying to convince him to buy again after they scam him last year. He's 87 years old and should not be harassed like this.

You're all scammers targeting the elderly. What kind of company scams £150 for something which the caller said was £25 then don't offer a refund and is still calling my elderly Godfather up to 4 Times a day feeding him with stories of how it works for they relatives and telling him he will live pass 100 years if taken and he's 87 yrs old now. Stop harassing vulnerable people. That's what u can do

There is a post on here from something called Bali Bailey which claims to represent this load of scum.  E-mail it and tell it you want your godfather's money back within 14 days, failing which you will raise a claim in the Small Claims Court and will also report them toTrading Standards and Action Fraud.  Report them there anyway.  This load of lowlife scum are actually based in India with a virtual addressin the UK which is why they get away with tormenting and stealing from elderly, vulnerable people.  It might also be worth the family of everyone who gets a call from them to report them to the Information Commissioner's Office for making unsolicited calls.  The ICO can fine them quite heavily for this and it might be one way of stopping their filthy tricks.

A company with the letter head, yourlifestyle, but actually called Sanda Lifestyle based in Kent contacted me and a woman called Jenny Watson, supposedly a nutritionist discussed my ailments and talked me into buying pomegranate tablets and rosehip tablets at a cost of £192.00.  Apparently I was not charged for the rosehip tablets.  I was contacted again today by the same lady who tried to talk me into buying further tablets at a further cost of £192.  I was led to believe previously that I would not incur any further costs.  She told me that she wanted to sort the details with me before she headed off to a conference in America so that no one else would bother me.  I gave my debt card details, but then said that I did not want to pay this amount of money.  She then offered me less tablets for £120.  She gave me a spiel about god and wanting to look after me and treating people as she wanted to be treated herself
As I was been given a rather hard sales pitch, my daughter intervened.  She was told that the ladies name was Roxanne!!!!!!  She told my daughter that the invoice sent stated that there would be a further cost of £192 and when my daughter said this was not on the invoice, she was told that it was a verbal agreement. As I had given my debt card details my daughter told them that this had to be cancelled and I was not to be contacted again.  My daughter was then put onto her supposedly manager a Neil Smith, whom my daughter very adamantly told that this transaction had not to go through and that I had not to be bothered. He then passed her back to Jenny/Roxanne, who started telling my daughter that she did not appreciate being talked to like this.  My daughter was actually very calm and professional.  She ended up having to put the phone down on these people and then contacted my bank to cancel my card so they could not talk a payment.  Very dodgy I feel and I think I may have been well and truly scammed

Just a tip to all of you headhunters.

There are a lot of Companies that are doing these scams all over the country.

I have got information that their base of operations is in Goa - India and Mumbai - India.

Some of the companies involved in hard selling of health supplements are:

Sanda Lifestyle
Natura Healthcare
Vitabeing

Just to name a few. They are all legitimate companies, however their methods of sales and promises are vague and often false. seems like they have all been trained by the same company, which i believe is the Radio 4 acclaimed Sanda Wellness.

If you get a call from these people, Just say that you are registered with the TPS and not to be called again. They will not call you back.

DO NOT EVEN WAIT FOR THEM TO SPEAK ANY MORE!!! THEY HAVE CONNED MY GRANDMOTHER DESPITE TELLING HER ABOUT THE SAME!!!

My mother who is in her seventies was persuaded to part with her money she will not tell me how much, but it was over £150, for 6 months supply of Rosex for her back pain, the company Sandawellness are now ringing twice a day and still trying to persuade her to buy more and give her card details over the phone. I feel these people are preying on the elderly, I am going to contact the company on Monday and try to get her money back and also report them to Trading standards. They are obviously buying this information from someone to get the numbers of elderly people who are more likely to have joint pain and are vunerable.

Was called by Indian lady called Sharon,!!! Answered questions about healthy living I increasingly felt it was not going to end well and so it proved she wanted to sell me roses for pensioner price of £16 I said I was a poor pensioner and wasn't interested. Glad I didn't fall for her spiel kept telling me her mother gave her lots of advice on health
Don't be taken in.

My Mother has also been conned by these people.
I am trying to get back her money but not getting any satisfaction.
We are being told it is all in hand and her money will be back in her account soon !
I have blocked her card so they cannot cheat her again.
What blatant arrogance.

Contact them again and give them 14 days to return the money.  Tell them that, failing that, you will take them to the Small Claims Court and also report them to Trading Standards and Action Fraud.  Send the letter Recorded Delivery.  Sanda were exposed as the frauds they are on Radio 4 last year, so you might want to let them know that Sanda are still at it.  Your local paper might also be interested.  This scum prey on the elderly and vulnerable to make profit and everyone needs to know that.  They are based in India with virtual offices in the UK which is rather like rats hiding in the sewers.

I was contacted by telephone some time ago by this company, after which I bought a number of supplements to help my arthritis.  In themselves the supplements have helped, but the company has persisted in trying to sell me more pills, even though I have explained latterly that I don't need any more.  They are clearly trained not to take no for an answer, but after a very lengthy discussion on the phone last week I was obliged to terminate the call.  I have seen several attempts on their part since then to contact me, either because their number appeared on the screen, or via the answering machine when I have been out.  On the recorded messages nothing is said - all I hear is background noise from the call centre.  I should like these calls to stop, please.

Sadly, posting on here will not stop this scum 'phoning you.  Send them an e-mail or a Recorded Delivery letter telling them to stop and that, if they do not,you will report them to the Information Commissioner's Office for harassment.  If they have your bank/card details it might be worth changing these as, when they get fed up of trying to persuade you to order from them, they may well decide to send them anyway and take the money.  It's worth remembering that they are based in India and their UK address is a virtual office, which means that getting back any money they take from you against your wishes could be idfficult.

Sanda Wellbeing details are here: http://companycheck.co.uk/company/06377623
They are currently using ALBEMARLE HOUSE 1, ALBEMARLE STREET, LONDON W1S 4HA as their registered office and trading address.Their address was changed last year but you have to buy a report in order to access that information. Interestingly enough, according to this site as of the 1st of June Sanda are in liquidation: http://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/sanda-wellbeing-1 
Sanda even have 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." My personal favourite was an old employee (I won't name names) who has posted on their facebook page how although she no longer works there, she misses the company and it's employees - that lady lives.....coincidentally?.....in Goa!

As for Natura HealthCare you can read their details here: http://companycheck.co.uk/company/08099180/NATURA-HEALTHCARE-LIMITED
Currently using (a residential) FLAT 3, 252-254 HAYDONS ROAD, LONDON SW19 8TT as their register office and trading address!
This company have moved addresses and areas quite frequently over the years jumping from various locations in the north of England, Their Facebook page admin, who is also a Director at Spectrum Healthcare (another name to watch?) lives in Mumbai.....and has connections to Goa. An online directory also has a listing for a Natura Healthcare in Panaji....in Goa! There is a couple of telephone numbers for them: 9673055239, 9765509198 and other previous employees have linked-in pages and Facebook pages stating that they worked for them....most of these people reside in Goa.

To bring me to Elbon Wellbeing - their company details can be found here. http://companycheck.co.uk/company/07013434/ELBON-WELLBEING-LIMITED
You'll notice from the companycheck.co.uk website links all three of these companies use Ascio Technologies, Inc as the Website's Registrar's name - with the same Registrants organisation details cropping up again and again: Domestic & General Group Limited - with the following details:
Wan (Note: Should be 'Swan') Court, 11 Worple Road, Wimbledon SW19 4JS. When you Google the incorrectly spelt address it brings up an interesting array of seemingly inter-connected companies. I have a feeling if we spend a bit of time Googling that address we'll uncover a few more of these dodgy companies.

One thing is certain though - all roads lead to Goa it seems for this trio of companies!

That is absolutely fantastic. I have had a feeling for a long time that there was some sort of connection between these companies and you have provided the link.  I will certainly keep an eye open for the fourth company you have mentioned as that sounds like too much of a coincidence.  Thanks again for all the info.

You are welcome Nan, yes there certainly seems to be a link between these companies - they might not be necessarily interconnected, maybe some disgruntled employees of these companies just decided to leave and run a similar nasty scam under a different name, but the connections to Goa are undeniable. If only we could find more details on this so-called Pharmacy Initiative Scheme - but they seem to be clever/cowardly enough to not even give their proper trading name.
