Parliament Information Office (!!) trying to sell space in publication.

Very rude man who tried to make out he was writing a report for John Haddon MOD

Parliamentary Information office.
"Calling regarding a government initiative"
Call centre - money making - wanna buy space in our publication - it's a governement initiative dont ya know........
Nonsense, yet another one of the "but it's helping little children" brigade
SCAMMERS

Time wasters - ask only to speak to Directors, try to baffle you with techincal jargon.
After reading this page I called back and challenged them!

annabelle peters asking to speak about a government initiative on housing.

very friendly and professional - completely fooled me - luckily i always google telephone numbers.

Charles Davies trying to convince us that they are working with Hazel Blears about housing - firtunately we've wised up to them!

I am Pincipal of a German University.  A "Mr. John Edwards" from the "Parliament Information Office" bored me to tears with his spiel about a supposed report on Higher Education to the European Parliament.  

This is about as phony as they come.
Ignore, avoid, hang up.

Kate Barnes on new Goverment Publication on training. Would be amazed if you didn't have to pay to be included.

unsolicited high pressure call from Paul Danvers of the Parliamentary Information Office trying to sell me editorial and advert space in the next Parliamentary Year Book.  wanted between 3 and 5k but I was wary.  Google research shows the enterprise to be an unreliable company, not Parliament, and I will not be saying yes.

Received voice message from "Paul Danvers" of the "Parliamentary Information Office" about a "Government Initiative on Excellence in Training". The accent sounds like a totally fake 'very proper' English accent (with a hint of South African thrown in) and the background noise sounds like he's calling from a very busy call centre. Said his phone number was 0208 9564065. Smells as fishy as you can get.

I try to screen our Directors' calls because of the number of sales people we get calling our little company.  Luckily I caught a pause in his answering when I asked if he had spoken in the past with the director he was asking for --I knew right then he was no contact.

Gave his name as "Robert Clarke" and has called about four times in the past two months.  I think he's learning not to be too pushy because this one speaks politely though not in a posh accent... but he's not going to get through, especially after I found this!

Paul Danvers left a very posh message re: "training excellence" declaring it would be "very beneficial" to our company for one of the Directors to call back - quite obviously spurious and one to avoid...

High pressure calls from Paul Danvers who insisted on speaking to a senior director in my company.  He wanted to include us in a government report outlining the key issues in green motoring.  He did lots of name government name dropping and emphasizing how very important the report was.  Having already read the comments above, I was weary and pushed him for costs, which he was reluctant to discuss at first.  Ultimately, he wanted £4,950 from us for the placement of a 1,000 word report, or £2,750 for 500 words.  Apparently he didn't understand the words "no thanks"...

Received a message from Mr. Paul Danvers to inform us that we have been selected to represent Ireland in a "Government Initiative on Excellence in Training". After a further two calls I spoke to Paul who filled me in a little more. The publication is a UK based "government report". he dropped in John Denham's (Labour MP for Southampton Itchen) name a number of times and pointed me to the website http://www.parliamentaryyearbook.co.uk/.

I am very used to these kind of calls and you can spot them a mile off:

1. They usually have the posh accent.

2. They are offering you something which, in their opinion, you would be mad to refuse - usually a spot in a publication of some sort or attendance at an event that will be of huge benefit to your company.

3. They are slow to give you a price and there is a lot of talk and building up the product from the beginning.

4. When they do give you the price it is astronomically high! But don't forget they will usually be able cut this price in half especially for you.

5. They are VERY difficult to get rid of!

Great site - I will be keeping track of it. Actually had a lot of trouble with a company called TEKNET last year - they sell cartridges...... but are VERY sneeky in how they go about it. Stay well away!

Robert Clarke has called twice now from this number to speak to our Managing Director (a little search on the web would give him the answer he needs!). He claims to be from the Parliamentary Information Office, and he is responsible for co-ordinating a Government Initiaitive for Regenration and Planning, and we're on his list to call.

Thanks to this site, he won't be getting any further!!

Look out for a new name, Owen Charles who tells the switchboard that someone from their office was already in discussion with the CEO,the little liar!!

I just love this site!!! get plagued by these sorts of calls all day long, Paul Danvers being the latest in a long line. He puts on his very fake upper class accent and bullsh!ts for Britain. When challenged about what he wanted he waffled so well I said he should be a politician - his response was that he couldn't because he'd been to public school...?? Thought that was a ticket in not a bar! These calls are a menace...I've had them pretending to be family members, our bankers and even a hospital phoning with urgent test results. Great way to deal with them is to say you're putting them through then just leave them on hold.... PA's revenge!

What a brilliant site.  I just happened to google the number and company name as Paul Danvers has just phoned me, very rude and full of self importance.  Thought something was fishy.  He wanted to talk to our MD regarding a Roads & Transport initiative.  Wouldnt give me any information other than it was something that he had to talk directly to our managing director about.

Yet another unsolicited high pressure call from Paul Danvers of the Parliamentary Information Office asking to speak with the Chief Executive and Executive Directors about some "very important information" relating to a Government Initiative in Transportation Excellence. I asked him outright whether it was a sales-related call. He said it wasn't. Wouldn't send an email with further information until he'd spoken with a senior officer and that conversation would determine whether we were to be selected to take part!!! What is he on about? Anyway, googled him and I see I am not alone. Needless to say I will not be passing on the message!! Ever!

BIGGGEST SCAM EVER!
do not get pulled in by this [***].
They are not even good at selling
let along trying to snatch 4000odd pounds off people.
If they ring you do not get fooled.
terrrible liers.
