you have quite a lot of jobs on here from albion computers the job does not look
legitimate, you phone them it is an answer phone, you leave a message the do not
phone you back.  they are buying your phone numbers.  nobody pays 10.00 for data
entry.  ive reported this to watchdog, reed and my local job centre.  ive been
taken in by them i do not want anybody else to be taken in, luckily the number i
called was freephone, the others are premium rate.  i need the money and
desperately need a job, can't be bothered with these scammers now.  they operate
the same as dh data which got stopped.  please look into this company.

I emailed Reed about this and got the below message back

Just been on the phone to them after being in position 17 for 59mins.. I got throught to a guy who said to send my cv off to a person named frank jackson and that theres a high response due to the christmas period. I sent my CV off, i actually thought it was genuin because i saw the job advertised on the direct gov website and now i've come across this. I'm very annoyed and hope some can put a stop to it

I rang the number to contact 'MARK' on the number I saw on the job site.. took me through to answer machines on both options (1&2). As I'm in need for a new job pretty desperatly, I kept phoning thinking I might soon get an answer. The 6th time I phoned, the answer phone message had been changed they were now instructing me to text my name and contact number to - 07946319317.. which I did. The next morning I recieleved the dodgey text from 'ALBION COMP' saying please call this number - "today or asap, (LOCAL RATE)" < I thought this was odd. I showed friends and they thought the same as me. I recieved another text the next day which was the mostly the same, altered slightly - included '(5p/min)'. It was only when I sat down on the internet and typed the telephone number they wanted me to call into google that confirmed this was a scam.. It annoys me that these people are getting away with this sort of stuff. Its unfair. I hope people won't be as silly to respond to this text they are sending out and think before they do so!! The Con Men at the end of the line are ovbiously working hard to vary their responses to people, craftily changing the answer machines and texts to make them look lagit. STUPID PEOPLE GRR!!

I also applied for this job and held on for 1 hour and 22 minutes and wastodl they have had a power cut and only 3 out of the 8 phone lines were working.  I was then asked to send my CV which I did to Frank Jackson.  Was told he will get back to you as he gets back to everyone.  I sure he will as he is after more money.  How stupid do I feel now.  Wish I had seen this before I called.  They won't however be getting any more information from me.

Got txt from Mark Jackson just after bank holidays. Customer data input, qoute ACSJAN MO.  
Seemed great----£10.00 per hour, Mon-Fr 8am to 4pm. Applied via Click into Jobs website.
Called 0844 8227014 and got recording saying "we are answering all calls in strict rotation, please wait etc. You are in position 20.  
I waited on the line until I got to position 1. this took nearly 9 minutes.
Finally at exactly 12.00 noon, a recorded message then cut and saying "The recruitment line is now closed, our opening hours are blah,blah,blah-please try later.  Albion Comp name came up on my txt,despite the number or name not existing on my phone.  Clever scam, wish I had to low morals to rip people off in this way. All I want to do is earn a living by getting a job!!!!!

Hi Saw job in Hull Daily Mail for customer service operators £10 p/hr when I rang the 0844 no I was placed in a queue for one hour to be told to email my cv. The company is supposed to be Albion Comuters. Ive been in touch with Office of Fair Trading and they are investigating.  Hull Daily Mail have taken job off their website after discovering the advert was bogus.  I am so angry.  People who are genuinely seeking work are being made fools of.  Why didnt HDM do any checks to make sure the company was legit?  Now Im looking forward to a big phone bill. Im so pissed off.

job advertised in the newtownabbey times, data entry clerks £10 per hour..rbm computer services.....sounds dodgy to me..

Debbie its the same advert as "Albion Computers" dont apply for it

Well i have just rang them, caller 14 in the que, i was over the moon when i was told i was one of the lucky 20 out ov 500 who applied did a voice test and passed !!!!!! Then had a look on internet to see what they do, ended up here now im totaly gutted.  Pleased i found this site!!!!!!! I hope the feckers ROT IN HELL.

This guy is a fraudster, do not contact him or try to call the number. It is all a con and a trick where they charge premium amounts for waiting on their phone lines. These guys are scum, don't call.

£50 of phone credit taking off me for this, had my hopes up then find this site so its a scam then Mark Jackson should be named and shamed or what ever his real name is........ Got the Job of Jobsite.com I hope some1 can remburse me for what I lost NOT HAPPY

I was waiting in a cue of 16 people, after 20mins of waiting my call has been finished, because of money.... so 20 min took me 6.80GBP

I am the Cheif Executive for Albion Computer Services in Swansea.
I have just been told about this site so I thought I would let you know about our Company. I can tell you we are NOT a Scam. We have been trading for 32years and we are an reptuble Computer/IT Company throughout the UK. I would like people to STOP putting bad things on here about our Company as you are slanging the Company and giving it a bad name. I will be taking this site and anyone who gives us bad names to Court.
Mark Jackson is our General Manager and we are looking for Data Entry Clerks to work for us. Mark & his recruitment team have been busy answering calls and emailing back to everyone.
If you have not heard from Mark we have changed our number to 0845 2996103. Please leave a message for Mark on this number or email him at recruitment@albioncomputerservices.com

Just spent 20 minutes on the line, waiting, and then told to email my CV. I was so excited until finding this website, which has totally bummed me out. SO desperate for a well paid job right now, and this is a complete kick in the teeth.

As for the post above me, you'd think the "Cheif" Executive would know how to spell his own title properly.

For the Chief Exec of "Albion Computers" what a load of crap.  The Office of Fair Trading have confirmed this is a scam and are investigating.  I hope you get caught soon. As for taking people to Court what a laugh.  More likely people would want to sue you for the amount of money you have cost people for calling re a job that doesnt exist

i recieved the same text on thur saying call me on 08448227014 and quote  ACSJAN TH from mark jackson. before getting the text i caled them after receiving an email saying call ASAP and spoke to sb who said email your cv to frank jackson which i did. now bein asked to call again an wait in anoda long queue.one would think if they tought u wer suitable for the job they would email u inviting u for an interview or call u themselves. was goin to call them today but after reading the above comments, i will not

This guy Mark is on CV-library now. I have reported him to Watchdog as well. I am very woried that this guy has access to so much information on these sites. He will have to be baned.

I also replied to this as it is being advertised in maget and gillingham kent got the text from them about three weeks later, so gave them a call i had to send a email to frank.jackson@albioncomputerservices.com

after seeing all these emails i also looked around and found this surely a scam company cannot be going this long and be registered with companies house this long can it???
