I was contacted by this company, as a previous victim of fraud I now approach any cold call as a potential fraud so I carried out a lot of research into this company including organizing an in-person meeting with 2 representatives in their claimed HQ in The Gherkin. My conclusion is that they are at best a dodgy company who lies about pretty much everything in their marketing claims, but much more likely they are a scam outfit. They claim to have "Decades of Experience" "1,000+ professionals in 13 countries", "14 offices in 13 countries", "Saved clients £170million in tax" etc. etc. However the reality is: 1) The company was set up approx. 1 year ago with 1 director and a correspondence address in Morecambe 2) The history of current/previous directors is hundreds of now defunct companies 3) None of the contacts have any social media presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.) 4) Their presence in The Gherkin is one room in a Regus work place 5) They were clearly uncomfortable and had no answer when I quizzed them about the 1,000+ employees, individual social media presence etc. 6) Their website could be cobbled together very quickly by any web designer 7) Their brochure and website are riddled with grammar and spelling issues. I could go on but that's enough for now ...
