      Just gone over the information darwin sent to me this afternoon after I asked for details for a laugh....

      They claim to have had 7000 customers over the last 5 years.

      So that is 7000 customers either with or eventually getting nice IOU letters from HMRC....

          well they spammed my phone today and I was trying to find out where they got my number from..

          I don't imagine they care, just start up a company everytime the previous one dies...

                  I got that Darwin spam text on the 6th as well

                  "Access 90% of your contract after tax with our umbrella.
                  Free illustration and £750 sign up bonus."

                  whoop whoop.....

                    Their registered address is 1 Poultry, that had me suspecting immediately.

                      I hope the £750 bonus is a loan from a Dutch Antilles based Trust in a fast depreciating foreign currency. Otherwise, I'm out.
