I've just received a batch of 1500 leaflets to distribute around my neighbourhood. I came across an advert for leaflet delivery in the Leicester Mail. After a grueling 11-hour shift today, I plan to head out this evening to drop them off, all in the hopes of saving a few quid for my holiday. However, I’m feeling a bit anxious about the whole situation. I really can’t afford to end up wasting my time trudging through the bitter cold without any compensation. Do you think I should report this to the authorities?

About two weeks ago, I distributed 1,500 leaflets for this company. Since I hadn't heard a thing since then, I decided to get in touch. They mentioned they’d ring me when they had deliveries in my vicinity. However, there’s been no sign of payment or commission yet. Given what I’ve read here, I'm not really holding my breath for any further communication. I think I’ll wait another week, but if I’m still met with silence, I’ll start looking into cancelling this whole arrangement!

Hi Dan, hope you're doing well! How did things go with those leaflets you sent out? Did Tony confirm that they were all delivered? I’m keen to hear how everything turned out!

I distributed 1500 flyers for Walkers, but now I find myself without any payment or commission. When I reached out to Fabricare for assistance, they acted as if they had no knowledge of the arrangement or ever receiving any leaflets from them. Quite frustrating, to say the least!

The other day, we had a chat with the chap, and he mentioned that since those individuals didn’t manage to secure any work, it seems we won’t be seeing any payment, despite having distributed all the flyers. Can you believe it? I mean, it’s ridiculous to blame us, considering their shoddy leaflet was undoubtedly the most dreadful one I’ve ever come across!

I've yet to receive a single response from these utter chancers. The next time I find myself in that neck of the woods, I shall definitely pop in and make sure they hear a few home truths from me. They're an absolute waste of time and a complete affront to those genuinely looking to earn a bit on the side!

We've just wrapped up distributing these leaflets, and honestly, I feel like a right fool. Earlier today, we had a chat with a chap over the phone, and it left me feeling like it was all rather dodgy, prompting me to dig around online. We mentioned this job to the job centre, and they’ve deemed us fit to sign off, despite us being in the dark about what our pay might be. Now, here I am, stuck without a penny for the next couple of days while they sort out a new claim for me. What a right pickle!

Earlier today, I received the leaflets and got in touch with the company, Fabricare. They informed me that they’ve been distributing these leaflets for quite a few weeks now and assured me that they are a legitimate enterprise. They’ve sent us 1500 leaflets, and I’ll be distributing them shortly. I’m eager to see when the payments come through, and I'll keep you updated on how it goes. Oh, and we’ve already informed Trading Standards about this situation, especially if payment issues pop up. If we can demonstrate that we’ve completed the delivery, we should be able to claim that £50. Fingers crossed!

Regrettably, we've fallen victim to a rather dubious situation orchestrated by these blokes. We're a bit at a loss for our next steps. I've received a hefty stack of 1500 leaflets to distribute, but I'm unsure how to proceed at this point. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A few weeks back, I returned my map after completing my round of distributing 1500 leaflets. It felt quite surreal, so I roped in a few friends to help out. Now, there are four of us trying to get in touch with these individuals. They keep deleting their numbers and coming up with new ones - it’s maddening! I've got a list of six I can pass on if it’s any use: 01778346248, 08003345666, 01566786621, 01908314537, 07883670535, 07963221135. Here’s hoping all of you manage to get some justice against these con artists. By the way, Allison is just a fictitious name the woman on the line uses.

I've been doing a bit of sleuthing lately and even enlisted the help of a mate who's a private investigator. He looked into it and discovered that the address provided is just an open field. This evening, I received a rather threatening call from a chap who identified himself as Barry. He warned me in no uncertain terms that if I didn’t keep quiet, I'd be gone before I knew it, and he would personally see to it that my head ended up in a very unpleasant place. I've made sure to inform the authorities about this alarming encounter.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share that we’ve unfortunately been duped by this fella too. We’ve since started our own leaflet distribution business, offering a pay rate that goes up to £25/hour! We operate in Birmingham and you can choose your own hours - we pride ourselves on being dependable. Feel free to give us a bell at 07532486678, or reach out to my wife Gav at 07872463628. Payment is prompt once we drop off the leaflets or if you need map collections. Cheers, Debbie.

Absolutely right, Maxine! I've taken the liberty of notifying Trading Standards about them as well. Can you believe they're still posting ads for leaflet distributors in our local paper, just a fortnight after we first spotted them? We promptly reached out to the paper to raise our concerns. Which publication did you come across them in? Ours is the Welwyn Hatfield Times. The chap we chatted with at the paper assured us they screen all the job listings. Clearly, that process has more holes in it than Swiss cheese!

Caution! This firm is on the lookout for leaflet distributors in the Watford region once more. It seems Watford might be quite the hotspot for cons, seeing as they’ve previously posted the same advert in April and June of 2013. Save yourself the hassle of spending hours on this task, as you won’t see a single penny for your efforts, and it’s highly unlikely you'll receive any further gigs from them. They’re primarily after free labour to distribute their leaflets!

Honestly, it feels a bit like we've been taken for fools, doesn’t it? We put in the effort and distributed 1,500 fabricare leaflets around our local area here in Desborough, Northants. We followed all the instructions to the letter and even called them up to sort out the payment. Fast forward three weeks since we submitted our map and, guess what? No sign of our money! We tried ringing the number 01566786621, only to find it’s no longer in operation. So, we resorted to leaving a voicemail on 01566786700. It’s looking increasingly like a dodgy scheme if you ask me. I mean, we’re out here braving the dreary rain to do our part!

Luckily, we managed to come across all those negative reviews prior to distributing the flyers. This individual definitely needs to be reported to the authorities. She seemed to appear in various locations without a care. Oddly enough, her address was located smack in the centre of a field.

We handed over the fabricare leaflets back in February, and here we are still waiting on our commission. As for any future collaborations with these folks, they can consider themselves tossed into the recycling bin until we receive what we’re owed. Leicester’s got a bit of a wait on its hands, it seems!

To all those considering leaflet distribution roles, take a moment to do some online research before sending in your applications. The numbers 01566786621 and 01566786700 belong to a fraudulent company that doesn’t honour payments. Currently, these individuals are exploiting jobsite.co.uk for this purpose. Stay vigilant!

Lloyd, we did give you a heads up about these dodgy characters. You might want to flag them to your local trading standards and your jobcentre; they'd surely appreciate hearing from someone outside their usual area. To be frank, their work left a lot to be desired. It seems she may have been sharing phone numbers, as we've never experienced so many unsolicited sales calls since we've had dealings with this Tony fellow. Despite being ex-directory and registered with the telephone preference service, these pesky sales calls still manage to sneak through!

Listen, Lloyd, absolutely don’t fork out any cash for those leaflets that never got delivered, nor should you waste any postage sending them back. It’s best to inform your local Trading Standards as we’ve got the newspaper that featured that advertisement. Make sure to print off all the negative reviews you come across and take them along to your Job Centre.

I’d advise caution with Walkers Distribution located at 40 Kings Street, West Deeping, Lincolnshire, PE6 9HP. If you’re handed fabric care leaflets, don’t expect any remuneration for distributing them - I can assure you, you most likely won't see a penny! Your best course of action is to take those leaflets to your closest police station and alert Trading Standards about the situation. By the way, the phone number associated with Walkers Distribution is 01503-230994. Just a friendly warning!

I've recently been told that I'm supposed to be employed by this company. Could this be a con job? I've been trying to reach out to them, but haven't had any success whatsoever.

Greetings, PALWINDER! Just a heads up: please refrain from distributing the outstanding leaflets. There's absolutely no need for you to use postage to return them, and whatever you do, don’t part with any cash if they try to invoice you for the undelivered ones. It's important to notify your local Trading Standards about this, as well as flagging the advert wherever you encountered it. Stay savvy!

Last week, we were engaged by this company on four occasions, distributing a total of 6,000 leaflets. Our payment amounted to £200, along with an additional £60 in commission.

I spotted an advertisement in the Herts Advertiser just yesterday and decided to give them a ring, thinking the role seemed quite straightforward to apply for! They mentioned they’d dispatch the leaflets to me at the start of next week. However, my curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to Google the number. Thankfully, I did! I'm planning to ring them back to clarify a few things - like their contact information, the hours of operation, whether the work is available weekly, and what their payment methods are. They mentioned cash, but I’ll definitely need to find out if that includes a cheque or if there's another option.
