    Anyone heard of them?? Checked out their website and looks like an offshore umbrella company based in Luxembourg. Reckon they can get me up to 80% of my daily rate......

    In my totally amateur opinion but common sense opinion I would say...

    Offshore - Don't want to know about that. Potential problems
    Unknown company - Potential problems
    80% Daily rate - I very much doubt it

    Getting my drift??
    'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

      Do a search on here for BN66.

      If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

        It never ceases to amaze me how often this comes up.

        With 25 posts you have obviously been on here a few times so will have seen these kinds of schemes discussed before yet still people ask about these schemes in the hope that one day someone will say "yes its fine you can earn all that money and no one will be bothered"

        As DaveB as said have a read of the BN66 thread.

              as has been said so many times before:-

              If it LOOKS too good to be true then it almost certainly IS too good to be true.
