0845 467 5413
and

Can anybody advise of alternatives please.  :'(

Aitchp

Have you got a web site for the Trust Foundation?

Regret I have no web address for them

What do they do?

Searching by address I come up with quite a few entries for lots of companies; is it a mail drop or a shared office building?

One significant one is this one

I have received a number of communications from The Trust Foundation at this address with the numbers quoted above, when I call there is no one there but today they called me telling me I still owed them money and that I was a stupid girl I didn't know what I was talking about when I told them I would not be paying as they are not registered and that I was forwarding the information to the people you have mentioned, they then threaten me with a visit from the supervisor.

Sorry, link doesn`t seem to work. Probably my lack of techie ability! It`s a PDF file called  "The NEW HCHC Intranet is coming"

Does that work?

ALERT a Message from Counter Fraud We would like all staff to be aware of a publishing company who has been attempting to gain inappropriate authorisation for the publication of advertisements for existing NHS vacancies. They are known to have been operating locally. HCHC should check for any invoices received from the following company: Clearly Recruitment Limited, Britain’s Medical Jobs Online The Meridian, 4 Copthall House Station Square, Coventry CV1 2FL Phone 0844 5616386 Fax 0844 5616387 Any identified invoices should be referred to your LCFS, Alec Gaines and should not be paid unless it can be confirmed that the transaction was a legitimate one. HCHC wants to remind all employees that requests (normally made by telephone) from similar companies seeking an urgent agreement to run an advertisement for a vacancy should be referred to the Communications Team.

Thanks for sorting that Dave.

If Lacy1968 is concerned about the nature of calls from this outfit, here is the advice from Ofcom:

What is Ofcom’s role in relation to malicious or nuisance calls?
Whilst Ofcom has put in place a register to stop consumers receiving unsolicited sales calls, there are no Ofcom regulations specific to malicious or nuisance calls as these are a criminal offence.

If you receive such a call you should:

Tell your phone company as soon as you receive a malicious or nuisance call.  It doesn’t matter whether you know the caller’s identity or not.
Phone the operator (100 from a BT line) and ask for the number of your phone company’s nuisance or malicious calls team.  Then tell the team that you have received a malicious or nuisance call.  Tell the team what the caller said.
In some cases, particularly if the caller is threatening, your phone company will advise you to call the police.
If the caller is making direct threats to you or your family and you believe those threats to be real and immediate, you must call 999 straightaway.
If you believe that the threats made are not immediate, then you should call your local police station.
You may be offered ‘anonymous call’ rejection from your provider which should prevent these kinds of calls in the future (ask your provider if there’s a charge for this service).  However, this may block some calls you might want to continue receiving, such as calls from overseas.

"trustfoundation@fast-mail.org".


After many phone calls & letters from them because I got them to invoice me with the ad art work
Their email addy was given as "trustfoundation@fast-mail.org".

The last person I spoke to there was a Supervisors sounding some what official and even offered to play
back the conversation that I had had with them.
Nevertheless when I inspected what that said was my art work, they had actually been lifted it from
my web page and this is never used for any other purpose.
