03300432595 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03300432595 👆 is reported as a company involved in dubious practices, repeatedly accused of scamming small businesses by falsely claiming sponsorship agreements for educational booklets aimed at schools. Despite presenting themselves as a charitable or community-focused organisation, they operate as a commercial entity, employing high-pressure sales tactics and aggressive follow-ups demanding payment for unsolicited materials. Many reviews highlight bullying behaviour when payments are refused. Although some raise concerns about poor-quality materials and deceptive marketing, others defend their charitable efforts and contributions to anti-bullying and safety education. There is evidence of prior legal action against related entities for inappropriate sales methods. Caution is advised when approached by this organisation, and contacting relevant authorities or seeking expert advice is recommended before engaging.

This lot are total scam artists. They used to go by Safety Guide Foundation but got shut down by the courts ages ago. Now they've just changed their name to The Prevention Foundation, but it’s the exact same con. Heard Stuart Maddox, the cage fighter from Preston, is behind it all. The whole thing’s a proper fraud, don’t trust ’em.

This lot are dodgy, they got closed down by the courts ages ago when they went by Safety Guide Foundation. Now they’ve just changed their name to Prevention Foundation but it’s the same scam all over again. The bloke behind it is Stuart Maddox, some cage fighter fella from Preston. Honestly, the whole thing’s just a big con.

Manchester courts have shut down a local publisher that made educational leaflets for schools, following dodgy sales tactics that brought in £2.5 million. On 4 June 2020, Safety Guide Ltd was ordered to close by the High Court in Manchester, with District Judge Bever overseeing the case. The Official Receiver is now in charge of handling the company’s liquidation.

I've been receiving constant calls from them, insisting that I have an outstanding debt. They keep warning me that if I don’t take action, it’ll be handed over to a collections agency. It's downright irritating, so I've decided to block every single one of their numbers.

They just rang me up claiming we took out a magazine advert back in April, which we absolutely didn’t. Then started demanding money. Totally a scam, do not trust these people!

Beware! This outfit, Safety Guide Ltd, is nothing but a scam. Situated in Ashton Under Lyne, Greater Manchester, it’s managed by a chap named Matthew Ralphs. They operate under the guise of charity and educational publishing, but it’s all a ruse. As a business owner, your first encounter with them will likely be an unsolicited call or an invoice, pressuring you to pay for something they claim was agreed upon. The reality is, you never committed to anything! Even if you do let them squeeze some cash out of you, they’ll only churn out a scant handful of copies of your so-called "sponsored booklet." Oddly enough, if you challenge their tactics, Ralphs and his crew resort to intimidation to silence any negative feedback. It’s clear that Matthew Ralphs and his accomplices at Safety Guide Ltd are seasoned tricksters who need to be handled urgently.

Back in October, I got a call accusing me of agreeing to support them in April, which I definitely never did. Shortly after, they sent an email with a £200 invoice. Later on, they rang again saying they’d give me a discount if I settled the payment immediately. I just ignored all of it and didn’t pay. When they phoned after that, I didn’t bother answering.

This scam has been around for ages, they ring up small shops all over and claim someone ordered their awful little school booklets. If you say no, they start messing you about and try to pressure you into coughing up. Honestly, just ignore the calls, it's not worth the hassle!

What a dreadful bunch! They resort to intimidation tactics to con small enterprises into shelling out cash for their poorly crafted booklets intended for local educational institutions.

Just had some dealings with #### #### and honestly, I'm really impressed. What they're doing for kids across the UK is fantastic - it’s making a real impact on keeping our children safe and helping future generations have a better chance. Proper good cause, if you ask me.

I was super keen to back your campaigns anyway, but when my daughter got in from school and told me that Robin Reid and Stuart Maddox visited for an anti-bullying chat, I felt proper chuffed and proud to support what you’re doing. Keep it up, really great job!

So yesterday, me and Robin Reid from #### #### dropped by a high school in Preston. We spent the whole day chatting to year 9 students about anti-bullying. It actually went quite well, and we got some nice comments from both the teachers and the kids. They were also pretty chuffed with the booklets we handed out.

WATCH OUT for MERS! They ring up small companies pretending someone inside agreed to buy some school pamphlets. Loads of businesses end up feeling guilty and just hand over the money. If you say no, they get really rude and aggressive, yelling and making a fuss. The booklets they send out are poorly done - I could knock something better out in half an hour using MS Paint. And they’re really sketchy online too; their Trustpilot was full of bad scores, but suddenly in a few days it was flooded with 5-star reviews, while all the bad ones got flagged as spam. Proper dodgy behaviour.

This company is really great, they’re doing an amazing job helping kids understand important problems that happen way too often nowadays.

Hey, Stuart Maddox here again. Like I mentioned before, I plan on getting sponsors from our campaigns to drop some reviews. Now I spot another comment trying to knock the company. Just so you know, we’re VAT registered and this Wednesday we’ll be at a school delivering one of our talks that we back. If you’re curious, just google #### #### to check out the stuff we’re involved in or search my name to see the anti-bullying work we've been doing. If anyone’s got worries or questions about this number, feel free to reach out to our compliance team at [email protected][###]

We always give full info to those who back our campaigns, and they can cancel anytime if they want. If you could drop us an email from your company's official address, that way we can be sure you're a real business, then we'll happily send you all the details you asked for. Thanks for your time!

I’m a dad and I’ve gotta say, this organisation does brilliant work supporting kids dealing with stuff like bullying at school. I was more than happy to back their campaign - feels like a proper worthwhile cause to put my money into. Big thanks to SafetyGuide for really looking out for the children’s welfare.

Here we go again with the same old nonsense. If everything’s really above board and proper, why are there so many complaints popping up? How about you put up the company’s full name, address, business registration details, VAT number, a real website we can look at, and the names of the directors? Then we can actually have a proper look into things.

Why won’t you just give the info we asked for in the first place? It’d make things a lot easier, wouldn’t it?

Really glad my company supports safety-guide and the great work they're doing in schools for kids. Honestly, folks ought to have a proper look at their website and see the people involved before calling them a scam or something dodgy.

A couple of months back, SafetyGuide got in touch with me about supporting an anti-bullying programme at a school I picked, through my construction company. They told me they’d ring back once they’d gathered enough sponsors, which happened some seven weeks later. While waiting, I looked into what they do by checking their website and googling them, and I found their booklets and info about their efforts to help kids in schools. Seems like a really worthwhile cause, and I’d definitely be up for working with them again down the line.

Received a dodgy call claiming they were offering safety awareness resources for schools aimed at children. They said I needed to make a one-off payment, but lo and behold, three months later they're ringing me up insisting I signed up for a yearly subscription! They even mentioned having recorded calls to "prove" my consent. It's complete nonsense! I strongly advise reporting these crooks.

Checked the advice they gave on 23/3/18 and rang the number for a primary school, but it turned out to be Prestwich Arts College. Complete rubbish, honestly.

Got a call from some lot claiming they were selling safety awareness booklets for kids at schools. They asked for a one-time payment, but a few months down the line, they rang up again saying I was on a yearly subscription and demanded more cash. They also claimed to have recordings of me agreeing to this contract. Then they threatened that the amount would go up if I didn’t pay. Total nonsense. Watch out and report them - it’s basically a scam.

There’s this firm named #### #4 Ltd. They trick folks into coughing up cash for ‘learning materials’ that they never asked for. Proper scam, that is.

Got a call from ##### claiming I had signed up to sponsor their booklet last November - which I absolutely hadn’t. Told them I run a social enterprise supporting elderly folks, so any sponsorship I do is strictly for their care. Then they said they’d send me a “thank you” pack, but it was really just a sneaky invoice. Today, they rang again offering 10% off if I paid straight away. Can’t believe they’re trying to give a discount on an order I never even made, for what seems like a bogus magazine!

I got a call from some fake publication claiming I promised to support an anti-bullying drive, and now they want cash for it. Total nonsense. If they ring back, just ignore it - there’s no point wasting your breath telling them how dodgy they are.

so last week i got a call where they said i’d signed up to back some anti-bullying project, then today i received a bill for £173.95 to post booklets to a school i supposedly picked. total scam. they try to scare you by talking about debt collectors and playing recorded calls to pressure you into paying. BTW those green comments? they’re just posted by the scammers pretending to be legit.

They use loads of different names, like bsp, and they're proper scammers. Best thing to do is just end the call straight away.

The comments in green down there are clearly done by the ####mers themselves. It’s pretty obvious they couldn’t find anyone who knows even a bit more about English grammar or spelling to put their rubbish together.

I had a good chuckle at the initial green post from 23 March - it claimed, “I’m the director” of the firm. They then asked to send emails directly "for my personal attention." The hilarious bit? They never actually said who they were! Clearly just a load of rubbish if you ask me.

I want to make it clear we never mention taking legal steps against anyone - that’s just not true and unfair. We do request payment, which is standard for any business. Our team includes local folks hired through a council apprenticeship programme called Tameside, yes. Currently, we’re seeing a rise in customers contacting us instead of vice versa. We're reviewing our processes regularly. If anyone’s unhappy, please drop me a line at info@safety guide[###] and I’ll try my best to sort things out. Cheers, Matt.

Im a mum of a kid at Butterstile Primary in Prestwich, and I want to say this company helped out big time by donating a defibrillator the school really needed. There are two children there with heart issues, so it was a lifesaver for them. This company definitely isn't a scam. If you wanna check, you can ring the school on 0161 773 2052 and ask for Miss Salmon, the headteacher. I feel bad coz some dodgy companies make legit ones look bad, but this one is absolutely not one of those!

i'm a teaching assistant in a primary school down here in dorset, and just today we got sent this set of books about child grooming from #### ##H## Itd. honestly, i can't say enough good things about them, especially since schools like ours barely have the funds to buy stuff like this for the kids. with everything happening in the news recently, i really think it’s so important for children to learn about these tricky subjects early on. big thanks to everyone at #### #282 Itd, keep it up!

The school gave my kid some books about grooming, which seems to be a big topic on telly right now. Honestly, I’m really thankful to #### #4 for getting those books out there - such a brilliant move. So, it puzzles me why someone would leave a bad review about the publisher, I just don’t get what’s wrong with these books or why anyone would feel offended.
8 years
So, I got a call from a company named #### ##F## Itd. They've been doing this sketchy thing for quite a while, pushing some kind of scam where they want you to pay for sponsoring so-called ‘info booklets’ meant for local schools. Problem is, these schools never actually receive those crappy booklets because they haven’t been authorised by the local council or Ofsted at all. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.

I got a phone call from what sounded like a legit company selling some kind of booklets, but when I looked them up on company house, nothing came up - no assets and the owner isn’t even listed anymore. The company also switched offices twice within a single year, which seemed odd. They tried to get me to give my credit card info over the phone, which felt pretty dodgy.
