Reply to: Scare Mongering Emails???

Yep, it's bollocks.

Great company name though!

WMSS - absolute garbage.

Send this to the House of Lords as an example of the kind of bottom-feeders this 'reform' is empowering. There will be people who will fall for this out of fear of what the Treasury is doing, and they (the Treasury) are taking no responsibility for the fallout of their actions.

In all seriousness, I'd send it the people in the recent webcast for the Finance Bill Sub-Committee on 10th Feb.

These guys seemed to be asking all the right questions. Well, most of them...

I've removed the contact details from the original post to stop spider bots from using it as a way to boost rankings for that "business", whose website was only registered last month

Good call. Sorry about that. Didn't even think.

[WTFH]

And yes, they are a recruitment consultancy run by a 55 year old lady in Wrexham, under a few different names. One of the other names is actually registered at CoHo and has been for 18 months (yet to submit any accounts). The current domain used for the email in the first post is very similar to a healthcare firm who is unrelated to them.
Their LinkedIn profile is just repeating the same post about HMRC - 10 times in the last 6 days.

And while they appear to be a big company, several of the posts on LI use "I" not "We" when referring to the business.

The phone number comes up as a recruitment agent of you Google it

Well there aren't any contracts around at the moment so what does a tulip saleswoman do beyond finding something else to sell.

Yup - good idea.

Though just don't send it to Jesse Norman...!

But please don't let that other poster who's already contacted the Lords do it.

I'd turned off at this point. Standard clickbait/scam type opening. You see it so often on Facebook. You know the type of post. Fake police warnings, or chain posts that tell you to share something or whatever.

No decent company uses this type of marketing. Anything that tells you what to do goes straight in the bin for me. Reading past it further backs this up.

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions peeps.

Isn't the world just full of lovely helpful companies.

[adubya]

Yay, another scheme.

Pile in.
