Rogue Traders (2018) - Westminster Recliners/Arise Mobility/EnergySave/Click4PC

Matt Allwright takes a look at 4 companies he's investigated over the years and gives an update.

[@samcurry7477]

Someone please send help, I haven't stopped watching rogue traders videos on KZbin for 3 days. I havent slept or ate. I'm addicted to Matt Allright

Kardinal mobility at worthing , worst company ever , do not deal with them , warranty and service is a joke these companies prey on the vulnerable

[@bethanymay7720]

Energy save the boss got 7years in prison. Another guy got 4 years and 3 others got 2.5 years. Unfortunately I know the one who got 4 years and never been so happy to see someone go down. All together energy save conned people out of 10.5million.

[@TwoTees14]

I had an interview at Arise Mobility in October 2016, but thankfully was offered a job over the phone from another company during the interview. Having been there, it's not suprising that they have been featured.

[@army764]

If you want to steal from people with little risk then set up a business

[@aarongorton1984]

not really not worth

[@unpickable2794]

Hmm that msec sounds like he's a rogue trader for sure. I know let's blame the public and the staff

[@davidmellish3295]

He has a point,if you steal on the streets you get prison,if you steal through a business they take you to small claims court to try and recover the cash. It's like a license to steal but they call it business so its OK. Totally wrong they should jail lots of these guys

[@iamlegend68]

I think this is sadly the problem with company legislation in the UK. It's very easy to close down companies and start a new one with exactly the same business model and people, ripping off the public. Legislation around companies and how they are operated really needs to be tightened.

These foldings are far from the victory Matt makes them out to be. All this means is these rogues have closed up and reopened doing the same thing, the next day with a new name and anyone left owed by the old company is left with their debt and no way to reclaim it

[@kanesworld4]

When he says trade honestly and working for the BBC, I find this very ironic and immoral of them to do so.

[@commanderdon4300]

The thing with the BBC is they have many different parts to the organisation, you can't shit on them all because there were some bad guys. All the ordinary workers were never involved in anything that has come out recently, many of the journalists/broadcasters that work for the BBC are also not involved.

[@kanesworld4]

Commander Don as the years go on, more and more employees from the BBC are exposed by their past or technology for being want for a better word, shit bags and pedos. It's only a matter of time before the tv licence will be a thing of the past and then we shall see what so called celebrities do for cover.

[@callum9999]

That is people AT the BBC doing things, not the BBC doing anything..... I'd imagine ASDA has employed someone who went on to murder before - should we boycott that murderous ASDA chain?

[@kanesworld4]

callum9999 how many asda employees have been caught touching kids or discriminating people due to their sex? Your childish mind didn't get my point. Presenters within the BBC use their power to exploit people. That's what happened in the real work but when it's paid by the public, it really hits home.

[@commanderdon4300]

I have no love for the TV license I don't pay it myself, but then I don't watch TV. KZbin and Twitch provides all my entertainment now, any other time I have hobbies that keep me busy. Bad people can work anywhere but if such a large number are at any organisation then they need to be routed out and prosecuted. It doesn't mean that the BBC can't be free of these bad people. Id rather people watch and enjoy a presenter/program and then boycott them if they are found to be bad, instead of tarring them all with the same brush and hating them all without cause. You are allowed to enjoy something the BBC does even if you don't like the organisation as a whole. You are also allowed to then dislike it and stop watching the program if the people involved are found to be bad.

[@declanwebb5097]

Quick company check says Westminster Recliners dissolved and they just started up again as UK Mobility Direct LTD. It's just too easy to go bang and then start up again without much in the way of punishment, its a shame to be honest

[@OfficerLarryNMSE]

As to the ClickPc guys, if you had to use a recovery software to find that data, you should have disclosed that information, because the drive was formatted but data was not overwritten; normally this is done to save time, even by big companies such as Lenovo, Dell, Acer and so forth. The reason for this is that the data will be overwritten automatically when you eventually fill that space on the hard drive.

[@stuartday1876]

Everything you have said is true, but it's unacceptable to operate this way. Properly wiping the drive by overwriting everything takes time, it's just a shoddy way of doing things with regard to data protection.

[@gonzogilberto4690]

Not defending these c**ts but people really need to inform themselves on the going rate for recliners before parting with thousands. Yes i know, pressure sales, but ppl gotta take some responsibilty for themselves else it will never stop. Some guy tried to flog me a vacuum cleaner for over a grand. Really pressured me but i told him no no no. He got annoyed but why should i care about that. I aint gonna hand over my hard earned cash just so as not to upset him

[@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111]

its old people mate, trust me it just aint the same, i highly doubt all our grandparents just happen to be dumbasses, i dunno if they dont consider things as much in old age or they just arent used to the scams of today, but trust me u wud be suprised how often elderly people fall for this kinda stuff, but hey they are old... so they maybe dont quite have the brain power they used to. Young people should probs know though sure.

"We'll guarantee that you'll save up to a third on your energy bills" - so, that can mean 1% or less. He then proceeds to state a figure less than a third.
