Hi all for a few months I was receiving demand letters for advertising in a 9nine9 emergency services booklet/leaflet to the value of £195-00 from Tulip Publishing and FGD Debt Management Services both based in Chester in fact across the road to each other. I found out from Chester Police that they were both suspect scammers and that they both work from PO Boxs. I have also reported them to the Trading Stands.
So be careful you don't get conned out of your hard earned money!!
All seems to have stopped now. And no I did not part with any money!!

Still trading fraudently. The salesman scammer goes by the name of Paul Spring (well he did on the day that he claimed to have got agreement for me to advertise in the publication 9nine9. The overly aggressive Alan Hope claims to be the 'sales manager'. A fictitous invoice was raised and this act has now been taken up with the local police and the trading standards organisation. I'm also checking the worth of a private action against this dishonest organisation.
Hi
I've just received FGD's debt letter threatening court action if we don't pay Tulip's fictitious invoice. Does anyone fancy a day in court supporting me in turning the table on these scammers?
I have just had a final demand from Tulip, the guy on the phone was aggresive.
They said I had verbally entered into a contract on the phone for advertising in 9nine9 magazine. I asked them to produce proof, which they said they had a recorded call, they would only let me hear it if i agreed to pay, otherwise they would send it to a debt collection agency.
I now have to write to them recorded delivery, to tell them to stop pestering me,
'dmwc' did the right thing. We did this on recommendation from several support organisation, such as 'Consumer Direct', and it has worked - no more letters. We used plain paper, not letterhead, giving them no more information than they already had, asking for proof within 14 days or to drop their fraudulent claim. And sent it by Recorded Delivery - It works, try it.
Hi
I too had a ficticious invoice, I wrote to them stating I did not know who they were and requesting proof of purchase.
So far I have heard nothing but intend to keep the invoice and copy letter on file incase there is any further contact.
