I keep getting calls from this people wanting me to subscribe to their system for long distance jobs. Anyone used them? They say they are based in Manchester, but won't give me a phone number to call them. They call from a Skype number that's hidden.

My flags are on!!!

There are a few threads on here about them. I was with them for a trial period. It was a waste of time and money. Don't go there.

Thanks. I'm always suspicious of those who want your money upfront without showing you the work.

Maybe, but will your LA allow you to advertise an online insurance comparison site? :wink:

Ditto...If there was much worth forthcoming from such firms then they would take a small slice of the income that guaranteed work generated rather than demand money upfront on the pretence of future runs that more than likely never come about.

It's profits made off the back of gullible users they live off and not a percentage of the fare once it's in the bag.

It is nothing like Fraser Eagle. With Cab Transfers they provide you with a website and they promote the website on Google and then, hopefully, customers will find the website and book either online or they will ring you up. Nothing goes through Cab Transfers, they do not provide any work.
On the other hand, Fraser Eagle would get you the work and they would collect the money from the customer. Then they would not to pay the people who did the work.
