These scammers keep pestering us about windows we supposedly agreed to get, even though it was meant to be just a survey. Now they're claiming the windows are ready and threatening to take legal action against us. They just won't leave us in peace.

Aspire Magazine claims to be providing advertising opportunities, but it’s a company notorious for preying on those who are most at risk. It’s wise to approach them with caution, as they are not to be trusted.

I've been keeping an eye on this situation, can anyone confirm if Aspire has actually paid out the people affected by Barbara Stone? They can't just keep doing business without sorting that surely.

Been caught up with aspire and had my family pressured into coughing up about £40,000 for ads by the charming Barbara Stone who was with them. I'd seriously tell anyone else who’s been done over by this lot to get in touch with Franny Moyles or even trading standards.

Aspire Magazine, also known to us as Lilfestyle and Leisure Magazine, has been trying to sell advertising for about three years now with fake offers. There’s a charming lady who always calls, but we’ve caught on and won’t be fooled again!

I had a look at your site but can't find any updates about giving back the £70,000 your salesperson ripped off from that elderly couple who ended up losing their house, or the £15,000 from the dog charity she scammed. What’s the deal with paying this money back? I caught a TV show where Trading Standards was pressing you to repay it, Aspire Magazine.

Got a ring from them last Wednesday and was thinking about putting an ad with them, but figured I better check them out first. Turns out I was spot on. After going through all these reviews and news stories, I’m definitely not putting any cash their way. I'd recommend other business owners think twice too. It's crazy how places like this can still operate and legally rip people off.

Just to follow up on my previous comment from 7/3/17, to whoever used my name on 6/03/17 - please stop, even if you meant well. I honestly haven’t got a clue who you are! I put the effort in to write my own posts with care. It’s not fair to misuse my name like that. Because someone’s been directing people to me without asking, I’M GOING TO STOP POSTING HERE. YOU WON’T SEE ANY MORE POSTS FROM ME. Franny Moyle

Building on my previous comment from 7/3/17, to the individual who used my name on 6/03/17 - please stop, even if you meant well. I honestly have no clue who you are! I’m proud to write my own posts, which I put a lot of thought into. Please don’t misuse that. Because someone has been directing others to me without asking, I’m done posting on this website. I won’t be making any more posts from now on. Franny Moyle

This company is still being looked into. Barbara Stone's actions seemed to come from the intense pressure the company puts on its workers, which then affects its 'customers', im pretty sure of that. Aspire hasn't owned up to anything, which is shocking and just shows how little they care about the harm caused by how they sell things. We’re not going to quit until Aspire Magazine stops exploiting elderly folks just to make money for the people at the top. If anyone reading this has info that might help us, please reach out to Franny Moyle on Facebook or Twitter.

I'd honestly prefer to trust a business that’s been checked out by Trading Standards and found to be legit, instead of loads of others who haven’t had any scrutiny. Just coz one person messed up years ago doesn’t mean the whole company’s dodgy, especially when Trading Standards haven’t closed them down since then??! That kinda says to me they must be doing something right. But hey, it’s your call. Feels more like some unfair slagging from the same folks who moan about every little thing on TripAdvisor :/

This is a real company. Just take a look at your order form carefully and you’ll be alright. You actually sign off on what you ordered. It’s pretty simple and clear! Nothing complicated at all!

I’ve had calls from Aspire Magazine too, and it’s really unfair how they keep pestering older people and those who are more vulnerable. I heard Trading Standards are already looking into them because of their harsh methods.

I get calls from them at least a couple of times every month. I've asked over and over to have my number removed from their list but nothing changes. I wouldn’t want to be linked to a firm that makes money by bugging people, and the Barbara Stone situation just makes it worse. Also, it’s strange how no articles talk about the families of the victims getting any refunds or compensation from Aspire. This isn’t just about one dodgy salesperson, it’s the whole company’s fault. I’ve reported them to TPS, and honestly, Trading Standards should just shut them down!

Stone was just one person working at Aspire. Like most advertising teams, she probably wasn’t the only one involved, so lots of people should be held responsible for a single sale. Funny thing is, after the trial, none of this was reported by the BBC or other news outlets.

Could you get in touch with me? I want to give your info to the trading standards team looking into Stone. This matter isn’t sorted yet. If you reckon she got adverts from you by being dishonest or pushy, please tell me. You can find me on Facebook or Twitter as Franny Moyle and drop me a message.

i really urge anyone with worries about aspire to get in touch with leicester trading standards. after barbara stone, a saleswoman from the company, was recently found guilty, it’s a good chance for more scrutiny on them. if enough people speak up, it could really make a difference. the trading standards team are listening closely right now because of what’s happened, so if you think you’ve been mistreated, don’t stay silent. getting your experiences heard could help push the investigation further.

Aspire magazine has been in the headlines for conning dog charities and an old couple, best to avoid them. If they ring you, just hang up straight away and dont chat to them. Trading standards know them as pushy salespeople. I wouldn’t even promote with them if it cost nothing!!

i keep getting calls from this magazine called aspire. i've told them loads of times to stop calling as i'm not interested. they promise to remove me but end up calling again after a few months. i blocked their number but looks like they've just switched to a new one. they've not been rude or pushy, just annoying. definitely not worth the hassle.

Had a really bad run-in with Aspire Magazine in Leicester. They updated their number on their site to 0116 2824887 but that number doesn’t even work. Got a cold call from them pushing ad space and they sent me a pre-filled form with my info on it - info I never gave them - asking me to sign and send back with my bank details. Then they started threatening me about a cancellation fee even though I never returned the form. The call was really rude and stressful. I’ve reported the whole thing to trading standards. If you need to reach Aspire Magazine now, their contact is 0773 565666.

Aspire Magazine Leicester is shocking. They cold called an elderly man who runs a tiny craft business and pressured him into buying an advert he couldn’t afford or even really wanted. He asked for a day to decide but they just wouldn’t accept it. Afterwards, they started threatening to destroy his good name, claimed they’d write a bad article about him in their mag, said they’d report and sue him, and even tried to charge his card regardless when he changed his mind the very next day. Absolutely terrible behaviour.

got a call from aspire magazine, wasnt interested. they wouldnt put their offer in writing or even email it over, really pushy too - big warning signs for me. they tried to sell it as a “feature” rather than an advert, but i’m sure thats just a bit of spin. felt a bit dodgy. would stay well clear.

Got a call from Aspire Magazine about buying ad space. Told them to shove off - they target older people and trick them into paying for useless ads in tiny free papers. If you run a business, you’re not covered by those distance selling rules either. Avoid!
