qsl-tenders.co.uk

www.qsl-tender.co.uk is a Scam website that  is dedicated to taking peoples money unfairly. It operates in an unprofessional and deceptive manner.

The Scam….

New Business’s and existing try to increase there work load…

They are aware there are tender lists that supply potential new contracts…

Many lists are free already, so the information that QSL offers doesnt need to be paid for in the first place, thats the first part of the scam i.e getting people to pay for free information.

Next they offer a free trial of the service but it isnt what it seems.  They hide the true terms and conditions from the unsespecting trialist hopeing that at the very end they dont spot the catch…

The catch is they need to cancel the trial at the end of the 4 week term, or according to them be liable for the full years subscription.

Some people might spot it, some might not, and its the ones who dont who QSL want to catch.

They wait until the trial expires and runs into there supposed subscription phase..

Then low and behold they send out an invoice.

If you try to question them, they get threatening, not the sort of people you want to do business with???

I will be addiing more information, with more links to help people, but in the meantime please leave any comments and don’t dispare.

They are criminals who have devised a clever way of legally extracting money from people, but it is a scam, whatever they say, however they try to dress it up.

The law needs to change and these people need to be banged up, money returned and let good people continue with there business’

QSL - Are scammers

I thought you might be interested in reporting on the following legal scam that many hundreds if not thousands of honest hard working business people are affected by. Two company’s involved, might be others, one is QSL-Tenders - http://www.qsl-tenders.co.uk/ another companies is called BiP solutions - http://www.bipsolutions.com/

They have a website that offers a free trial to a tender list service. Most of these tenders are available free anyway, but honest and sometimes new small business people look at these site’s to try generate more business.

During the trial process you are led through a series of pages where it says, free, free, free, no credit card of financial details are entered so you feel asif its risk free. The real terms are hidden from view and there is an innocuous line that states them – a misleading website…

The trap is that if you don’t cancel the subscription during the 4 weeks you are liable to a full year’s subscription- £700 – £2500 +

Most of the setup emails get spammed, some people don’t read or see the terms and say 5 out of 10 people forget to end the trial. What happens then is an invoice for the full amount arrives soon after the trials expire, they don’t contact you within the trial period or speak to you at the  end, just let it over run, and sting you.

They are putting people out of business and I am one of those people who are struggling to makes ends meet. I now have now an invoice for £1000 for a service I never used only within the free trial period, never wanted, never could afford at those prices and who wasn’t fully aware of the terms and conditions – but because you ticked a box then you are bound.

Please do something to help, there are countless web forums where people are in ruins over being taken for large sums of money from a service and company that doesn’t care about its customers. They just try catching people with the free trial and they using strong arm, threatening tactics to get their money back, it is a Scam.

The governments needs to supports growing business  and protect them from unscrupulous companies that can cripple new and existing business with these high charges that most people can’t afford.

qsl scam

The people at QSL must be quite amoral. Not wrong – because their Ts&Cs probably do stack up, but amoral – and they know exactly what they are doing.

In our case as a new business we signed up to a number of free tender websites including QSL to see how they worked. Like other users we got an invoice out of the blue 2 months later:
- Not a single customer service call in the meantime (unlike every other website).
- Barely clicked on by us (which makes the lack of customer service even more mystifying – do they not care that people don’t use the product?).

The invoice had attached to it a screen print of the page where one signed up to it – has anybody ever heard of that?? They know in advance that their customers will not understand why they have an invoice.

Since then they ignored emails – and worse pretended that they had not received them.

Life is too short so we paid up from personal funds as the business does not have the money – but they make my blood boil! AVOID IT!!!

qsl tender scam

I cannot believe this company. We have been posted a bill of £600.00 for service’s which we havnt not used. Alison Cooks who was extremely rude on the phone said it was in my name and I had to pay this amount. I said “Somebody has used my details, gone into my email and signed me up for it, this is clearly a security breech. Oh and another thing do you have anything with my signature signing up to your service?” Answer I got was ” Thats not our problems, you have a security breech on your side, which is not our problem.”

I logged into the account, and found tenders which were not even in London so they are you could say they are selling invalid goods. 

Can any one help me fiight them. I am willing to pay for someone’s time and help with this matter, instead of paying QSL scammers

qsl tender scam

I own a medium sized media agency. One of my team signed up to what he thought was a free trial and subsequently received an invoice a month later. QSL have been unhelpful and rather agressive in seeking payment even after cancellation.

We design and build websites and in our experience their sign-up tactics are highly dubious in relation to the law. As such we are currently actioning a campaign to expose them and fight back. Our internal PR consultant is putting together a well researched article which will be published in multiple online and offline channels; so if you want to get involved please do get in touch.

More QSL scams, they keep on scamming

Yes the T&C clearly state that Free Trial will end and automatic subscription will occur but when using a free trail you do so, as i did, in good faith that you would get a genuine opportunity to opt out.

During the free trail i received 0 tenders of interest or relevance to me, my sector and geographic coverage.

I called to see what could be done when the invoice surprisingly landed on my desk but was totally blanked – Natalie took no responsibility, showed no empathy and was adamant that a full years subscription was mine. To me that is as close to a scam as you can get. Sorry.
