http://www.whgla.org.uk/misleading-advertisin ... -december-2011/

Please note: We have had a number of queries from suppliers lately saying they have been contacted by a company called “Sigma” or “Sigma Publishing”, trying to sell them advertising in a publication called “Bluelight Magazine”. The reports we have are that the sales technique is incredibly aggressive and aimed at getting a verbal agreement to an ad then sending an invoice the same day without any proof it’s gone into a valid publication.

We would just like to state that the “Bluelight Magazine” and “Sigma Publishing” are not associated with the Bluelight eTendering website (www.bluelight.gov.uk) in any way. A couple of suppliers have informed us that “Sigma” have told them the magazine has been produced in conjunction with the “Police Federation”, or that they are actually from  the police federation or an individual Police service.

I have therefore contacted the Police Federation, who state they only produce the national Police Federation magazine called “Police” and although some individual forces may have their own in-house publications, they have never heard of “Sigma” or “Bluelight Magazine”. They also added they had a number of queries direct to them of a similar nature reporting a different company called “Mode PR” selling advertising and purporting to be from the Police Federation.

We are not saying that neither “Sigma Publishing “ or “Mode Pr” aren’t legitimate publishing companies, or that the “Bluelight Magazine” isn’t a valid publication, however they are in no way associated with the Police Federation, or the Bluelight eTendering website, therefore please be aware if you are contacted by either of them, and should you wish to report them please contact either your local trading standards or “Action Fraud”, details at www.actionfraud.org.uk.

"charity" publishers fleece generous advertisers

BY ANDREW PENMAN ON APRIL 24, 2008 11:49 AM IN CHARITY

Hellish. That's how hairdresser Linzi Booth describes being chased to pay for an advert she didn't want and had never ordered.

Linzi is just one of countless victims of a rampant scam to fleece kind-hearted businesses.

Figures just released by the Insolvency Service show that 60 rogue publishing companies which claimed to publish "good cause" booklets have been shut down by the courts since 2000.

The Insolvency Service says it is second only to VAT fraud as the biggest scam operating out of the North West.

The conmen claim their booklets, wallplanners and diaries will help drug awareness, road and fire safety and crime prevention.

They tout for advertising but what the generous victims don't know is that the booklets often don't even exist.

The latest bent firm to be shut down is Crime Prevention Advisory Services Limited.

Dozens of small companies complained to Trading Standards or Consumer Direct to say they were either being hounded to pay for an advert they hadn't ordered or had paid for an ad but no publication was ever produced.

"In either case, Crime Prevention Advisory Services had aggressively pursued the small business for payment," says the Companies Investigation Branch of the Insolvency Service.

The firm was run by 24-year-old Joseph Stringer and Edwina Dobbs, 29. "I don't want to talk about it," spluttered Stringer outside his grotty semi in Droylsden, Manchester.



"Why are you asking it, it's been closed down," he sneered before jumping into a top-of-the-range convertible Merc.

These rogues lie about how many copies of their booklets they'll print.

They lie when they tell unwilling businesses that they previously agreed to advertise.

They lie about suing their victims if they don't pay up... the last thing they want is a hearing in court.
They often even lie about who's behind these shameful operations.

Hourglass Design, one of the latest batch to be liquidated was run on paper by Susan Reid of Middleton, Lancs, but in reality the boss was her son Adrian, 25.

His previous bogus "good cause" publishers included Peterson Lloyd & Co, which cheated business advertisers of £500,000, Pemberton Slater, which raked in £157,000, and Ambito which skimmed an incredible £940,000.

Linzi, a hairdresser in Solihull, West Mids, was cold-called by a rep for something called Vardis, which publishes booklets for a children's charity.

Although she refused to place an ad, she did agree to receive more details through the post.

Then, she says, Liverpool-based Vardis used a recording of their conversation as "proof" that she placed an order and had put debt collectors on to her, demanding £524. This is despite Solihull Trading Standards telling Vardis that it needs evidence in writing that a contract with Linzi exists and that its recording "has obviously been edited".

Vardis manager Mark Andrews told us: "We are in a difficult industry with lots of publishers, some of who leave a lot to be desired.

"But we are one of the goods guys, working for a genuine charity."

Do they tell potential advertisers that the charity gets just 12.5 per cent of the money raised?
"We do if they ask," he replied.

But at least they won't be chasing Linzi any more.

Charity conman nathan fearon preys on your goodwill
BY ANDREW PENMAN ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2006 4:29 PM IN CHARITY

IT takes a particularly vile person to take money destined for children's charities - someone such as half-man, half-maggot Nathan Fearon.

He specialised in tricking businesses into taking out adverts in his "fun books" and wall-planners, telling them the money would support good causes that help kids.

Fearon, 27, was a director of Peterson Lloyd & Co, which used this tactic to net more than £500,000.

Less than two per cent went to charity while, according to the Insolvency Service, Fearon and his co-directors Leon McLeod and Adrian Reid took "substantial payments".

The maggot was also behind Wilson Jones Ltd, which raked in around £117,000 but never even published the booklets that were touted to potential advertisers.

Yet another of his operations was Chester & Conran Ltd. In one year, it conned advertisers into paying £555,000 but barely £13,000 - about 2.4 per cent - went to a special educational needs support group.

Fearon, meanwhile, pocketed £130,000.

It wasn't just the charity that lost out. Businesses which advertised were told that 500 copies of each publication would be distributed regionally. But, on average, only 30 copies were sent out, sometimes a year after the ads had been paid for.

Meanwhile, the maggot paid himself £1,500 per week, underdeclared VAT by £42,000 and, when the Insolvency Service moved in, £150,000 had disappeared from the company accounts.

All three of his firms have now been shut down by the High Court and Fearon has been banned from acting as a company director for nine years.

Which doesn't stop him living in an exclusive complex of flats - protected by electronic gates and 24-hour porters - overlooking the Thames in London's Isle Of Dogs.

We popped along to ask what he was up to now but Fearon wasn't in the mood for talking. Spotting Mirror photographer Michael Fresco, he charged over to demand: "Why the f*** are you taking my picture?"

We might be wrong but we think that Fearon has anger management issues, because he then bellowed: "Hit me! Go on, hit me!"

Penman explained that he didn't want to hit Fearon, just ask him whether he'd bought his £350,000 flat with money that should have benefited children.

The maggot wouldn't comment and yanked open the passenger door of Fresco's car, presumably to try to find his camera.

But you don't take a camera from a Mirror photographer that easily... and Fearon stalked off empty-handed.

He fled back inside the complex, leaving us to shout questions at his back.

Those questions included: "Are you planning to make any donations to children's charities this year?"

We didn't get any answers. Fearon had had enough of the tabloid press for one morning.

Final chapter for Advertising Agency

14 Aug 2006 10:48 AM

Two associated companies which made misleading claims when selling advertising space inm children's fun books and business wall planners have been wound up in the High Court following an investigation by the Companies Investigation Branch of the Insolvency Service.

Manchester-based Peterson Lloyd & Co Ltd represented that advertisements placed in children's fun books were for the benefit of a local charity but, out of a turnover in excess of £500,000, less than two per cent was paid over to the charity in contrast to substantial payments made to the company's directors. The advertisements placed in the business wall planners were found to have no meaningful commercial benefit to advertisers since there was no wider distribution of the wall planners than to the advertisers themselves. London-based Wilson Jones Limited was under the control of the same directors and sold advertising space in business wall planners and a parents' guide booklet. The company traded for a six month period during 2005 and, despite receiving an income of £117,000, failed to produce a single publication. The company had not registered for VAT and did not produce accounting records capable of explaining its income and expenditure.

Both companies were found to carry on a similar business to Chester & Conran Limited, which went into creditors voluntary liquidation on 11 May 2005. Following an investigation by Companies Investigation Branch into Chester & Conran Ltd, its controlling director, Nathan Fearon, provided an undertaking on 27 March 2006 not to hold directorships or take part in company management for a period of 9 years.

7.  Michael Simister was found guilty of running a support publishing founded and run for the purpose of deception:

http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2004/523.html
" The business of the Company was founded and continued on the basis of deception. If, in accordance with the undertakings offered, the deception is removed it seems unlikely that the Company would have any worthwhile business to carry on. Further, the extent and nature of the undertakings and the past conduct of Mr Simister are such that it would be necessary for the Secretary of State, through his officers, to monitor due performance of the undertakings and to supervise the future conduct of the Company's business. That is not his or their function. The matters to which I have referred show, in my judgment, that it is just and equitable that the Company should be wound up. The acceptance of undertakings from the Company or Mr Simister instead of making that order would be an abdication, not an exercise, of the Court's jurisdiction. For all these reasons I will make the usual compulsory order."

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Charity+scam+gives+needle.-a0121931635

"The man who set up Help at Hand UK was called Anthony Simister; Anthony Simister was taken to the High Court in March and his then company The Supporting Link was wound up after the judge said it was based on deception;  Anthony Simister's partner Natalie Selby is a director of Direct Action UK. Anthony Simister gave us their telephone number as a contact number; Wayne Chadwick, also a director of Help at Hand, is known by staff at Direct Action UK. The accounts manager at Help at Hand Philip Hunt is now working for Direct Action UK. We will be sending copies of The Ferret programme to the Charity Commission and to the Department of Trade and Industry, who both want to curb the abuse of charity ads. Greater Manchester police also requested a tape for their Economic Crime Unit."

Got a call from this number on 18/02/13 asking if I wanted to place an ad in a new mag.  He said that his name was Mike Richards and wanted £150 for a years advertising.  I told him that I would have to check with my accountant before spending that kind of money and he said that he would ring me back today but I doubt he will!

Just had a call from a slighlty different number but from what I've read it's the same people the number that rang me was 07785 469178. They wanted money for a childrens charity magazine. I've said to send me the stuff, he said he'd do artwork for me......is this legally binding???

i have just had a call from a man re tradesman tracker he rang on a withheld number, but as i have searched i guess its the same people.    i remember agreeing a few years (3 years ago i was informed) ago to advertising on there app. completely forgot about it until i received a phone call demanding money for the past couple of years. they say i agreed to a rolling contract, i have asked for proof  that i have agreed to this but they say they cannot supply me with it.(e.g. recording etc) only if they take it to small claims court can they then let me have it.  i have asked for written proof and again i agreed electronically apparently.  i was told i would have received a welcome pack...i have no knowledge of that. and they again cannot supply me with copy.  when asked for proof he directed me to there website and said there is your proof ???? terms and conditions are not proof i actually agreed.  this guy was not backing down and was quite forceful.  i have left it that he is going to send the 'debt' to the debt collectors so i shall wait and hear. i have received no email, letters etc apart from this nasty phone call saying i know owe for years of advertising surely that can't be right. also i cannot stop this contract as i won't pay it will carry on???

I  had the same experience this morning, are you reporting it to anyone ?

I've just reported it to action fraud

any luck with this.??  i have received a letter this weekend demanding £715 and if i don't pay in 7 days will take me to court resulting in big fees etc .....funnily enough there is no contact details etc so i can dispute this only bank details so i can 'supposedly' pay  i am googling there address so i can reply.   i can't see even if legit how they can refuse me proof i agreed etc and take me to court.

seems like there's a few of us all researching this at the same time. I've had three phone calls now, all from mobile phones, the last of which was Sunday just gone! I know for sure that I agreed to take this out for one year and explained that I was extremely dubious at the time and would not commit beyond that. This was verbally agreed by the pushy sales chap at the time.

I have been referred to the terms and conditions and told that it's a rolling contract too. I wasn't sent these at the time and was simply told that I would have been directed to a website at the time of joining. The first call I had I asked for a copy of the recorded phone call at the time to which he said he didn't have one. The call I received on Sunday, the chap said he had a recording I said that's great play it now and he said he wouldn't.

He also said that I would have been emailed those terms and conditions which I definitely wasn't. But, I have now read them from their site, and apart from saying that this is a rolling contract and a renewal payment will be taken unless we cancel in writing, it also states that we will be informed by email two days before the renewal date of the upcoming payment. Well, I certainly have had no such email over the last couple of years, not one call and one email!!

I firmly believe this to be a scam but I think from a legal point of view, even it wasn't that they are in breach of their own terms and conditions.

Let's keep in touch on here, good luck
