Avoid these people
Had a call from a directory called BTD -Business Trade Directory,
offering to put me in touch with business for 2.5% commission. Sounded not too bad then they said it would cost £200 to input all my info on to the computer, that's when alarm bells started ringing.. So I checked them out on some website ... and yes they are another bunch of con merchants like ufindus.com etc etc. So avoid them.. you have been warned. Read this it goes through with complete accuracy their exact patter. Have you been called by The Building Trades Database yet? Beware! - UK Business Forums |

Re: Avoid these people
I take bets with the guys I work with to see how long they will stay on hold for while we work away. Great fun.
