Don t fall for it

Scam Spam Pointless Designed to mimic genuine gov or local council sites Scraping data from google and creating FALSE listings and then claiming that they re about to expire If you think you never signed up in the past you probably didn t If you ve now signed fake renewal then I m sorry but it s NOT legit
D

Misleading

Like others we ve been spammed with Renew your listing emails though we ve never subscribed The information is pulled directly from Wikipedia and the Vale of White Horse and the website is designed to impersonate a gov uk website I ve reported as spam and blocked them

False Renews

Almost paid for a renew of something I never signed to I looked at the invoice and thought funny I don t remember having signed to this and became suspicious I decided to look at reviews and could see that it is a scam

Doesn t seem legit - don t pay

Happy to find out from the other reviews that this is a scam Well done everyone - hopefully less and less people fall for the business listing emails
S

Scam

Scam I was all set up to pay followed what looks like a genuine Gov uk link and website Alarm bells rang with the payment details so did some research No connection to local councils and no such business directory exists I never signed up originally which was another alarm bell when renewing was mentioned Reported to Gov uk as they are impersonating the official website

As prophesied previously - still spamming

As prophesied previously still getting these spammy emails a year later Obviously doesn t quite expire as predicted Your Alcester Parish Business Directory listing for XYZ expires in 6 days well it didn t last year To renew the listing and confirm the company s contact details are up-to-date please use the button below Alternatively you can cancel the listing Once the listing is cancelled you will not receive any further renewal reminder emails So you have to renew something you never signed up for or cancel to stop receiving spam Luckily captured by spam filter as I suspect most peoples are which makes this an even more pointless business model Don t be one of the gullible just ignore and delete Or leave a new review every year they tell you your listing expires in 6 days

Absolute scammers

Absolute scammers Pretending that you have a listing that needs renewing then suggesting is a cost of 19 year They even make their website look like a government website
D

They are still sending them out

They are still sending them out Wrong postcode on my listing Do not part with 19 quite persistent sending daily reminders

The PARISH UK Network passes itself off

The PARISH UK Network passes itself off as official It apes the look and feel of gov uk websites and uses publically avaialbale data sources selectively to create a synthesised directory of UK parishes and their communities It declares that it is not a government site in the small print but the look and feel of its operations suggest otherwise Its business model is based around speculative emails which reference business listings that are due for renewal Parish uk says that its actions are not FRAUD It also claims that charging 19 to renew a business listing which was created by scraping google and wikipedia is legitimate I leave it to others who have received these emails to judge that for themselves
