Although this thread seems a few years old, these people are again targetting small businesses in the North-West Area. Cold-calling businesses saying they are the "local police" and ask for the manager. In a panic you rush to the phone to be greeted by a very persuasive man saying he spoke to you a few months ago and is confirming the order, then passes you through to one of his colleagues to process the order. If they can't get hold of you they will rarely leave a contact number, but keep ringing back. They may also ask you to pay over the phone then you can save 5/10% - DO NOT PAY. If you challenge them they offer you a better rate or discount. You will never receive an advert proof, copy of their terms&conditions or confirmed order in writing....just an invoice. If they ring tell them you want all communication in writing in the future and HANG UP. Its very hard as they know what they are doing, but you must be tough - they will not leave you alone otherwise. Its a shame because you want to support local police and the emergency services but the minute you support a legitimite publication you will never hear the end of it. Advice from business link - if you receive an invoice, do not reply to it, wait for them to chase you (they will). When they call tell them as you have not received an advert, t&c or any written confirmation then you are treating the invoice as invalid and have spoken to trading standards regarding the matter. I did this today with PARADOX PUBLISHING, and he told me "i'm going to take offence at that as we are a reputable company". I replied "that's up to you, but I can't find any information regarding your company on the website, and having spoken to trading standards they have advised that this is fraudulent" then i hung up. Not heard anything since (previous to this I'd had 4 calls in 2 days from the guy -even though I never confirmed an order). I have also received an invoice from INDIGO MEDIA with a cover letter - 2 lines on a piece of headed paper (no address just a symbol) saying my payment was overdue, please pay. Needless to say trading standards will be getting a call on Monday.... Please watch out got these people, do not make the same initial mistake I did
