TAPA IS A SCAM – READ THIS FIRST - DONT BE A FOOLED!
http://www.theadvertisingprotectionagency.co.uk/ - SCAM – EXPOSED.!
DONT BE FOOLED BY THERE CLEVER SMOKE SCREEN WEBSITE.

THEY HAVE CREATED A GAP IN THE MARKET FOR PROTECTION – THIS IS MODERN DAY RACATERING...... THINK ABOUT IT!

They claim to be linked to the Authorities, BUT THEY ARE NOT, there web site is a smoke screen which claims they are the official authority in regulating  advertising. FIRST LIE! THEY ARE NOT OFFICIAL, THEY ARE NOT AN .ORG Company who work for free, they make money. THEY ARE NOT ANY OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY – DONT BE FOOLED BY THEM! THIS IS AN EXTREMLY DEVIOUS AND CLEVER SCAM.

TAPA ARE LINKED WITH OTHER SCAM ADVERTISEING COMPANY’S WHO WILL CALL AND HASTLE YOU TO TAKE ADVERTISING SPACE, THEY WILL THEN THREATEN LEGAL ACTION. This is when you get a random call out of thin air from the advertising protection agency, claiming they can stop the calls and legal letters. Once you are reeled in by there scam, they simply tell there own Advertising company’s to stop calling you, AND YOU ARE STUCK PAYING A MONTHLY FEE TO THEM. - DONT BE FOOLED! THIS IS A VERY CLEVER SCAM!

JUST SAY NO TO SALES CALLS – ITS SIMPLE! IF YOU DID NOT ORDER ANYTHING THEN DONT PAY IT, PUT IT IN WRITING TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HASTLEING YOU AND COPY IT TO TRADING STANDARDS. ITS THAT SIMPLE AND ITS FREE.

TAPA will ask for you card details, and bank details, to pay for something you can do yourself for nothing. THEY HAVE CREATED A GAP IN THE MARKET FOR PROTECTION – THIS IS MODERN DAY RACATERING...... THINK ABOUT IT!

They dupe you to thinking they are data protected, But there not data protected. YOUR DETAILS ARE NOT SAFE WITH THEM.
DONT BELIEVE ME, CHECK IT YOURSELF,
THERE IS NO LISTED DATA CONTROLLER ANYWHERE ON THE SITE, ITS JUST A SMOKE SCREEN TO GIVE YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY, BE WARNED!

There is a large list of scam companies like TAPA supposedly operating from
27 Old Gloucester Street London,WC1N 3AX
You can see so for yourself on http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=27%2BWC1N%2B3AX%2Bscam
I suspect that most use it as an accommodation address and are based elsewhere, like TAPA
