Investigator Ancient_mariner reported unknown with the number +448445671020 as Cost trap
I became a member of 'Gourmet Society' recently and almost instantly began to regret it. I contacted 'Gourmet Society' to discontinue the automatic withdrawals from my account of an annual fee to remain a member. At this point I was advised, and expected to believe, that I cannot remove myself as I do not pay 'Gourmet Society'. To do this I have to contact 08445671020 which is a premium rate telephone number.
I always understood that if the fault was with the item purchased then it was the responsibility of that company to put it right, in this case, the 'Gourmet Society'.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me who I can contact to put this right? -
Bailey reported PS Group with the number 08445671020 as Survey
Answered some questions and was promised a £20.00 fuel voucher andsome money off vouchers. I did answer NO to all questions. Got a call from 02920364211 confirming the survey. I was to receive the £20.00 fuel voucher, even asking me what type of fuel, a surprise gift, lots of money off vouchers, a dine and get 50% off card and a magazine. I had to pay a £2.78 postage fee to receive it all. I am so glad I refused because I didn't read this until after I lost my temper at the manager who was obviously reading off a template and refused to send anything. I doubt the address and postcode is right either but I have just reported this scam to Action Fraud.

MotorPal - My advice is not to give these people any bank details. Even if you cancel within the 'trial period' they will continually request debit from your account & deny you have cancelled. Sharks! I have told my bank not to pay them anything and will report them to Action Fraud.

I have had £1.00 taken out of my account. I do not know what for but after reading the comments I do not wish to be associated with you in any way
gullible replied 4/18/15, 9:10 AMThe only way is to cancel your card: they did the same with me a pound here and there: Also beware of anyone ringing from Cardiff cold selling they are all in the same building. -

I received a call from Motorpal today Telephone number 029 2036 4211 , they wanted me to pay £1 for vouchers to be sent then alarm bells rang so I did some checking and found this site. I have asked them to call back tomorrow as I said I did not have my card to hand lol. I will be giving the details of the caller to the fraud squad tomorrow and contacting my local MP after the general election . I will be making sure this company is fully investigated at directorship level . If it is a scam it will now be put to bed.

Investigator Cersei reported Sapphire with the number +448445671020 as Survey
I was called by this company saying that they would send out free vouchers if I just pay the cost of postage. I was dubious about giving out my bank details, but they reassured me that it was safe. I have just had £79.99 removed from my bank account making me overdrawn. I didn't think anything about the company but I should have listened to my gut instinct. Never again will I do this for anything free. If a company asks for your bank details over the phone then put the phone down, do not give them out. It's a waste of time and your hard earned money.

Parkinson reported Sapphire magazine with the number 08445671020 as Cost trap
they use different numbers - there are hundreds of people out there effected. please see below links. I think a new law is needed to not only prosecute companies but the individuals who work for them. it would be the only way to stop it.

Moto Pal, they use your debit card like a cash cow: They should be stopped. I was told to pass on the moto pal offer onto a friends if I didn't need it. That was after over £80 taken out of my account. Perhaps the Chief Constable of Cardiff can use it:

phil reported unknown with the number 08445671020 as Telemarketer
I was phoned by an 02920 (Cardiff) landline number and they said they were an organisation called Motorpal who can save you money on car servicing. Offered to send a £10 voucher off petrol and a £20 rebate off a car service I'd already had as an introductory offer. The guy I spoke to (Elliott) sounded really plausible, and when I expressed doubts his supervisor came on the line and she also sounded quite genuine. I agreed to the £1 "contribution towards postage" on the 'Welcome Pack' but after reading messages here I phoned my bank to block any future payment requests to be on the safe side. Why are these dodgy companies allowed to operate and scam people?

Joe reported Sapphire Magazine with the number +448445671020 as Cost trap
This company called me offering £20.00 in vouchers on fuel, It was not mentioned that I would have to send the vouchers off to the company to claim cash back it was mentioned that all vouchers are accepted in all fuel stations. I have the vouchers they don't look like they would honour them the look fake, This Company only wants your money and are operating a scam they also have you call them on a 08444 or 0843 no which they don’t explain the call charges. There is an alternate 0800 no which is 0800 6696480.
gullable replied 12/14/14, 8:32 PMThey took all the money I had and I couldn't pay direct debits, begged pleaded nothing. I go to court for none payment and I intend to inform them why I could not pay, plus I have got a T.V. interview, so hope they are watching. Nothing to lose on my part. -

Scary mary replied 11/19/14, 8:47 PMWe too were caught by this scam on the 14-11-2014 But we rang our bank told them we knew nothing about it. We got our £49-99 back within two days. My husband cancelled his card, & ordered a new one which he has now got.All within 5 days. It was Motor pal. -

Maureen replied 12/14/14, 4:49 PMI was contacted by them as well on 11/06/2014-I cancelled on 17/06/2014 when I googled them and found out about their antics yet they still took an amount of £6.25 from my c/card account but they did it 4 MONTHS AFTER the date I had cancelled the trial offer so beware-cancelling with them does nothing and to add insult to injury-they credit card company is at fault as well as they should have cancelled/closed my account with themselves in July 2014 after I switched C/Card companies to a better rate. I am now having a headache with them as they still want to charge me for this as I refuse to pay this unauthorised charge even though the card is cancelled-can you believe it??. -

Ive also been a victim of the sapphire membership scam.i cancelled the membership by email but received no confirmation so I called them before the billing date and they said its cancelled.the next thing I see they have taken 79.99 already 3 days earlier.i called my bank and cancelled my debit card they said they would return my money and thankfully did.i cant belive how many people have been affected by this. I'll do evry thing I can to get them caught.these people deserve to be arrested and locked up.
Gullable replied 10/10/14, 7:17 PMI also emailed them to ask them to delete all my debit card details: No reply. I am assuming that if I can confirm that I have written and emailed them that there must be a law that they cannot use it: -
Billy reported Motorpal with the number +448445671020 as Survey
I got a call yesterday from Motorpal. The welsh lady was on phone to me for 25 mins, we discussed scam requests and I asked if this was similar to the money club where they give a £1 one month trial then take £99 out of your account, not a £1, then five months later take another £99 and so on. I told her I had reported The Money club to trading standards and got more than the money I paid out back using my bank to retrieve, so was not interested. Always use your bank to reclaim and report to trading standards or Rip off Britain.

Annette reported Saphire with the number +448445671020 as Telemarketer
I was offered money off vouchers for a 14 day trial. Of course they didn't arrive, money taken from bank in the name of MGI. Called bank to stop further payments and attempt to get refund. company attempted to extract further money using a different name- (Sapphire) Santander bank stopped payment and notified me of attempt to take money from account. Santander treating the matter as fraud.

inness reported sapphire with the number 08445671020 as Cost trap
These people called my 80 year old mother and offered her a free subscription to a medicine cabinet (whatever that is) all she had to pay was one pound for delivery charge for which she gave her credit charge details. That took place in march this year, since then we have found 4 x £79.99 charges taken from her bank, contacted this number (mgi - shows as reference on her bank statement) asked me to send bank statements showing proof, however bank advised me against this, cancelled direct debit with bank however will probably never get money back (£320.00) DO NOT GET TAKEN IN BY THESE PEOPLE
Shirley replied 9/16/14, 7:53 AMI would advise you to go back to your bank and start a dispute, I do not see any reason why you should not get it back. I eventually got mine back last wk, took over 5 wks but did get it returned to my bank account. That is a lot if money to loose, hope all goes well -
Investigator Shirley reported MGI/Sapphire with the number 08445671020 as Cost trap
I was called on April this year by the company named above, they offered a magazine and money off vouchers. They offered to send out a pack to view for the cost if £1.00 which I agreed. However I did not receive this 'pack' and on May I noticed an amount if £80.00 taken from my bank account. I called said company enquiring about this in which they told me I never cancelled within 14 days of receiving the pack so this was yearly subscription. Didn't matter that I did not get the pack they had their back covered and wasn't goin to see one penny back. Then on August there was again another £80.00 taken frm my account, called and they td me it was money I owed as they did not have any records of my first payment. I had to get a bank statement and prove this by email before I would get my money back. This was 4 wks ago and iam still waiting for money to be out back into my account!!! Do NOT trust anyone from this company!!!!

Just found out that £79•99 has been taken from my account by a cpmpamy called mgi. I didnt make the payment via card and had to call my bank to cancel my card. They told me i have to wait 3 days to see if the payment is taken as it is pending so i cant stop it. This is a joke and the company should be prosecuted for it. I want my money back. we all earn our money so why should we have to loose it like this. I feel sory for all those who have lost money to these people..

wally2102 reported Motor Pal with the number 08445671020 as Telemarketer
Unsolicited call from Louis (very English accent)at Motor Pal who wanted to offer a service package for my Ford car (said he knew from a survey I had a Ford?) Offered a service deal for only £49.99 per year (to cheap to be true) and would cost only £1 for posting out the brochure. Wanted me to pay £1 by Credit or debit card - knew the this was likely to be a scam and said no way and hung-up. There is an automotive company of this name in Czechoslovakia but even their website might be part of this scam!
