02089564110

I called the office seeking a chat with the Director, mentioning the name "David Castle" along with "Parliamentary Info Office." After doing a bit of digging, I stumbled upon this site. Curious, isn't it?

I've just received a call meant for my managing director, but she's out of the office today. An individual named Elizabeth Cohen reached out, asking when we could arrange for them to contact his number at 02089564110. She mentioned she's with the Parliamentary Office in London and was keen to discuss a government initiative relating to Corporate Social Responsibility. To be honest, we got a bit of a dodgy vibe about it all, which is why we ended up searching for this site.

Some time back, a chap named Lawrence Rowe reached out to my organisation regarding what turned out to be a rather blatant scam attempt. It only took me a mere few moments to untangle their deceitful web. Out of sheer curiosity, I devoted a bit of time to investigate the so-called ‘Parliamentary Information Office.’ First off, the allegations thrown at these cold callers-deceit, misrepresentation, intricate fraud, and using fictitious names-are certainly concerning. It seems that these call centre staff are recruited through ads in ‘Stage Magazine’ and are predominantly actors down on their luck, operating under assumed identities. Interestingly, the staff aren’t on any salary; they survive solely on commissions. One could speculate that their desperation fuels the underhanded strategies employed by these callers, and they frequently depart from their roles, contributing to a high turnover rate. Regarding the names these callers toss about (which can all be cross-verified online), here are a few I've noted: - The ecclesiastical bunch - inclusive of three Bishops, a Church, a Bell and a Parish - The rather vibrant characters - namely Messrs Black, Brown and Green - The robust ones - such as Castle, Towers, and Knight - There’s some confusion over Owen Charles vs. Charles Owen. Curiously enough, none of the callers seem to bear foreign names-could it be that Blake's is skirting some sort of equality regulation? For those interested in further sleuthing, one can take a gander at Companies House and input any of the following company numbers: - Blake Contract Publishing Limited (currently in insolvency proceedings) 03034602 - Blake's Contract Ltd 03086287 - Parliamentary Information Services 3532831 - The Blake Organisation Limited (dissolved or awaiting removal) 03821680 - Blake's (International Division) Limited (dissolved or removal pending) 02532042 - Blake's Houses of Parliament Year Book International Limited 02587421 - Blake Publications Limited (dissolved or awaiting removal) 02831278 It’s worth noting, from a report dating back to 5 December 2001, that a winding-up order was issued by the Inland Revenue which was heard at the High Courts (Finance Magazine, 28 November 2001, page 17). BCP Properties Ltd shared an address with Blake's in the past-Gable House-which might indicate a link to their contract printing/publishing ventures, 02027963. One should also scrutinise the multitude of addresses listed on Checksure’s site, particularly their former base at 239 Regents Park Road. Interestingly, Blake's boasts that their Parliamentary Year Book holds esteem and even occupies a special place in the Speaker's Chair. I found this claim rather intriguing, so I reached out to the genuine House of Commons Information Office. They, in turn, contacted the Speaker's Office for me. Their written response politely stated that ‘this book is not held in the Speaker's Chair’ and that the Speaker's Office was aware of Blake’s misleading statement, having urged them to amend their website-yet it remains. Blake’s recently attempted to attribute this to the late MP Bernard Weatherill, allowing the claim to persist on their platform. One ought to be cautious; Blake's operates under many aliases and is now plying their trade internationally across Europe and North America; folks worldwide find themselves entangled in this company's webs. It’s also worth noting the plethora of phone numbers Blake's Parliamentary Information Office has utilised over the years, such as: 0208 356 4000 0208 356 4065 0208 956 4000 0208 956 4041 0208 956 4061 0208 956 4065 0208 956 4070 0208 956 4087 0208 956 4100 0208 956 4110 There are surely more numbers that could be tallied. As for addresses used by Blake's through the years, one can find details from Check Sure, Credit Gate, and Companies House: - Second Floor, Gadd House, Arcadia Road, Finchley, London, N3 3JU (currently) - Gable House, 239 Regents Park Road, Finchley, London, N3 3LF - 12 - 14 High Road, East Finchley, London, N3 9JP (trading address only) - ACI House, Torrington Park, London, N12 9SZ (trading address only) - 22 Parkway, Southgate, London, N14 6QU It’s essential to note that some actions have been taken against the company by bodies such as the Inland Revenue, Customs and Excise, as well as several Trading Standards offices. In 2007, the Department for Education sent a letter to the Editor of the Parliamentary Yearbook after educational institutions received a spate of calls from the PIO. Yet, even after trading for over three decades, Blake's appears to walk unscathed and untouched by any substantial repercussions. A cloud of questions looms large, and perhaps it's time we considered nominating them for a rather ironic accolade-the Queen's Award for Industry. They certainly seem to thrive, don’t they?

I received a call and the caller was adamant about speaking with the Managing Director. They claimed to be from some sort of Parliamentary information office. It was quite clear that it was a sales pitch, as the sales rep became quite agitated when I interrupted and asked them about the reason for their call. They didn’t provide an answer and abruptly hung up on me.

Earlier today, I noticed that she was giving a ring to someone named Stephen Bishop.

I received a call at work from a gent named Jon Gower Smith, claiming to be associated with the Olympic Delivery Authority. When I returned the call, it turned out to be the folks at the Parliamentary Yearbook. Honestly, do they think I’m that daft? What a bunch of jokers.

I received a rather peculiar call from a business claiming to represent the Government, trying to reach my managing director (used his first name, no less). Unfortunately, my MD was tied up at that moment, and the caller, a chap named Henryk Gold, requested information for some Government report concerning successful aviation firms. Strangely, he couldn’t provide me with an email address, which set off alarm bells right away! To make matters even more absurd, he brought up the Queen’s Jubilee anniversary next year! Honestly, it all feels a bit dodgy to me! I’d advise caution with these kinds of inquiries!

Received a call from a lady named Charles Montgomery who claimed to be affiliated with Blakes in London. She insisted on discussing a government report with my managing director. Thankfully, my MD was away for the day! Something felt a bit off about the whole situation. I suppose it might be entertaining when she tries to get back in touch tomorrow. We'll see if we can catch her off-guard when the script gets thrown out the window!

I came across some information about William Rose from the Parliamentary Information Office. It seems he's involved in making space available for manufacturers in government reports. Quite an interesting role, isn’t it?

I received a call from a chap named David Edwards, who was rather insistent on identifying who was at the helm of affairs and demanded to be connected immediately. When we casually brought up the conversation we'd had with her alleged personal assistant a few days prior, she outright dismissed it, claiming that none of those individuals had ever been in touch with her. To say I’m annoyed would be an understatement - I’ll certainly be tagging her message as B for 'botheration'!

It appears that the so-called "Parliamentary Information Office" has acquired a new contact number (check 02089564065). I had a call from someone named "Robert Clarke" concerning some government initiative we’re involved in. He wanted to speak with my director, who is rather occupied at the moment, thankfully. I’ll be monitoring how this unfolds in the coming weeks.

I had a rather peculiar phone call from someone named Edward Conway at 'Blakes Parliamentary Office'. The caller was quite insistent about speaking to my managing director specifically. Thankfully, he was out at the time, so we had to let them know he wasn’t around. Surprisingly, the caller left a message saying these individuals were somehow linked to a 'government report concerning excellence in IT' and expressed absolute confidence that someone of my director's calibre would undoubtedly be familiar with it. I find that hard to believe! After doing a bit of research on them, it looks like we’ll definitely be keeping that message to ourselves!

Had an interesting encounter today - a chap called Lawrence Rowe claimed he was from the ‘Parliamentary Information Office’ and insisted he had to speak to a senior staff member. Luckily, that person was out, so we didn’t end up tying her up with unnecessary conversations. Quite the relief, to be honest!

I believe I've recently submitted a message on an American site, and I thought I should offer some supplementary details that might be of interest to you. So, just to clarify... the city in question is London, more specifically Finchley; the region is Greater London; and these calls are indeed emanating from the UK.

I received a call from this number and I’m keen to discuss some European collaborative research initiatives with my director. The caller introduced themselves as Laurence Fitzroy (that’s what I gathered from my answering machine). Apparently, they’re affiliated with the European Information Office. Since the call came just after working hours, it was only recorded on the machine, but they addressed my director by their first name and encouraged me to return their call. Being a company based in Heidelberg, Germany, it seems like they’re ramping up their outreach efforts across Europe.

I received a call from Ms Nicola Brown at the Parliamentary Information Office, and it seems she’s only inclined to discuss matters with the managing director. She articulated herself quite eloquently. After failing to locate her contact number, I stumbled upon this website.

It’s glaringly evident that this is a marketing ploy, with someone calling themselves Alexander Van Del who’s clearly putting on an upper-crust accent. He claims to be a Project Director involved with some government initiative in tech. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I received a call from the number mentioned above, where I had a conversation with a certain Willim Rose. He claimed to be a Parliamentary Officer linked to the Excellence in Manufacturing initiative for the Government Parliamentary Yearbook. During our chat, he proposed a placement for a page in a fancy leatherbound edition for a sum of £2,750, or, alternatively, a double-page spread for £4,950. He encouraged me to take a look at both the Parliamentary Yearbook and some Government Responses. He mentioned he'd give me a call again later this week.

I received a call inquiring about the MD, who happened to be out of the office at the time. They mentioned a chap named David Castles, speaking of some 'good news' concerning a government report on energy efficiency and sustainability. Given our frequent checks on this site, it seems we can finally update our MD with the view that it’s probably not worth pursuing further.

Moving on to this Annual Ministerial report regarding Environmental Excellence, it seems these individuals have successfully navigated around the PA firewall once again. This isn’t their first rodeo, and I sincerely hope it will be the final one! The caller identifies themselves as David Castle. Best to steer clear and refrain from picking up the phone!

Quite pushy and rather abrupt, to be honest. If you simply request them to send over their proposal via email, you'll find that they wrap up the conversation in no time!

We received a call from this number, a chap was on the line asking for David Chen. He specifically wanted to speak to the Director regarding a government initiative or something to do with a parliamentary yearbook. Unfortunately, our Director is tied up at the moment. I did some digging online and the parliamentary yearbook seems legit, but something just doesn’t sit right about this. We’re hesitant to pass on the message for some reason.

Moving on to yet another relentless attempt to peddle an Annual Ministerial report on Environmental Excellence. This isn’t the first time these individuals have managed to bypass the PA's protective measures. One can only hope it’s the last! The caller identified themselves as David Castle. Best to steer clear and definitely don’t engage with the call!

I received an intriguing voicemail from a chap named William Rose, apparently from the Parliamentary Information Office. He requested that we give them a bell at 0208 9564110 regarding some report on Excellence in British Manufacturing. It struck me as a bit odd, so we decided to do a bit of digging into it. Now, I've made sure to alert the entire team to stay vigilant. Looking forward to his next call, but in the meantime, let's keep our spirits up and enjoy a jolly good laugh about it!

William Rose, from the Parliamentary Information Office, provided insights regarding the sales territory allocated to manufacturers in the government report.
