Don't be Taken In!

It seems that the aggressive telesales tactics of a company called BT Customerstreet are upsetting many people.

Stressed customers have contacted us complaining of their sales techniques:

• High Pressure Sales - (will not give you time to think about it)
• Offering fanstastic website deals
• Get you onto the first page of Google
• Offering to register one or more domain names (before your competitor gets them)
• Taking immediate Credit/Debit Card Payment over the phone
• Using the names of BT and Google to win over your confidence

BT Customerstreet have bought directory websites including - SmileLocal, UFindUs and MoreUK.  Although this company is possibly not doing anything illegal - the Office of Fair Trading and Nominet (the UK domain registry body) have received a flood of complaints about their sales tactics.  We have even know seasoned sales and marketing people being taken in to part with their money!

Action: Do not listen to their persuasive sales pitch.  NEVER give out your card details over the phone to cold callers.
