Reports on phone number 08006785783
4 yearsJoseph and Elaine Nicholson conned me out of about £4000. It wasn’t through hayes transport though, it was a company called Direct Cargo Ltd. They've been using false IDs pretending to be the real Joe Nicholson, who’s actually been scammed by them himself.ElaineJoseph NicholsonHayes TransportDirect Cargo LtdJoe Nicholson4 yearsTheyre still running this con, putting up ads on Facebook for motorhomes at ridiculously cheap prices. All the info they use matches what’s listed here.Facebook4 yearsJust a heads up, Linda (who also goes by Elaine) and Joseph Nicolson have been ringing from 07940361039 and 0800689259 lately. They claim to use a company called Direct Cargo Ltd for delivering some motorhome that doesn't even exist. Be careful not to fall for this one, it’s a total scam!LindaElaineJoseph NicolsonDirect Cargo Ltd4 yearsCautionary tale! Steer clear of these con artists, Elaine and John Nicholson, hailing from the Orkney Islands. They’ve been posing as motorhome sellers, but once you hand over your cash, they’ll vanish into thin air! Don’t expect to see your motorhome; it’s all a ruse!ElaineJohn NicholsonOrkney Islands5 yearsElaine’s at it again, trying to scam folks with a motorhome she claims was repossessed. She says it was bought at an auction, and she’s been using a number linked to Hayes Transport. Definitely smells like a scam to me. Stay clear!ElaineHayes5 yearsI was almost caught out by a motorhome scam but luckily I got suspicious and decided to do some digging. Turns out what others have mentioned here is spot on - it’s a total con! Glad I checked before it was too late.5 yearsHey everyone, I travelled all the way to the Orkney Islands to get a car from these folks, but they weren't around when I wanted to check it out. Luckily, I handled the whole thing through Hayes company since the vehicle was located there. I ended up buying a Land Cruiser, and it’s a great one! Because of the negative comments I saw, I felt the need to go and see the car myself, which ended up costing me loads of time and cash. Honestly, it's disappointing to see people spread such misleading info!Orkney IslandsHayes5 yearsWas asking about a campervan priced way under what you’d expect. The contract from Hayes seemed a bit dodgy to me. I tried looking up this international firm but couldn’t find a proper website - just a link shared by Elaine and Joe Nicholson. They wanted the money sent in Euros to Spain. When I mentioned that their names pop up in scam alerts on this site, somehow positive reviews appeared the same day. Now their email’s vanished. They claimed they buy from auctions and kept talking about covid as an excuse. Feels like they’re up to no good and should be stopped.HayesElaineJoe NicholsonSpain5 yearsGot a call about a motorhome from the same lot of scammers again. Now they’re using a different email address in addition to the one mentioned below. The email shows up as Elaine Joe, but if you bother to check the actual link by clicking, you’ll see it’s dodgy for sure. Don’t hand over your cash to these fraudsters, they’re definitely out to scam people. Stay safe, folks!Elaine Joe5 yearsIts the same lot again with the motorhome scam, but now they have a different email address besides the one mentioned below. It’s something like the.rockerfeller@virginmedis[###]. Appear as Elaine Joe when you get the mail, but if you check the actual email link, it’s a total rip off. Please be careful and dont send any money to these folks, they’re definitely not legit.Elaine Joe5 yearsHonestly, nothing shady going on here. I spoke with them and checked out a motorhome a couple weeks back. The price was a bit stiff, which felt a bit strange, but that was it. Maybe next time you should look into things a bit more. They were pretty on edge about COVID and all, but we still managed to complete the inspection without any issues.5 yearsThat couple's fine, there’s loads of folks here making accusations but with no real evidence whatsoever!!5 yearsSeems like those recent good reviews might actually be from the scammers themselves, right?5 yearsI recently bought a caravan via HAYES, and both the company and the seller seemed fine at the time. But now it looks like their info might be getting used for some dodgy stuff by someone else! Really strange situation.5 yearsI’m pretty sure these aren’t their actual names. There’s an old couple up in Orkney with those exact names, and I reckon someone’s pinched their identities.Orkney5 yearsI'm pretty sure those names aren't genuine. There's an older pair living in Orkney with those exact names, and I reckon someone's taken them without permission.Orkney5 yearsI was about to purchase the campervan earlier, but then I found out the number’s switched to 08081669042. Did some digging and from what I’m seeing, it sounds just like what others have said here.5 yearsBeware of Joe and Elaine Nicholson - they're just out to rip people off and steal cash. Don't fall for their tricks!ElaineJoe Nicholson5 yearsJoe and Elaine Nicholson are still pushing motorhomes, asking people to sign up with Hayes Haulage. The price they’re asking is way off - you’d expect a motorhome like that to be around £40,000. That should've set off alarm bells for me. They use this email: [email protected][###]ElaineJoe NicholsonHayes Haulage5 yearsOver Christmas, I got completely ripped off when I purchased a motorhome that never turned up. Seems like Elaine and Joe Nicholson from the Orkney Isles have been running this scam for close to nine months now. They've even gone as far as using real people's details to pull off their con. Definitely watch out for these two.ElaineJoe NicholsonOrkney Islands6 yearsAvoid this number, it’s a total rip off tied to Hayes Transport. They seem to be peddling plant machinery or motorhomes, then trying to get you to send money over to something called Luxury Facilities Management. Definitely best to steer well clear of them!Hayes TransportLuxury Facilities Management6 yearsI came across a number claiming to be for Hayes Transport [#JhytransI###], but it’s actually a scam targeting people looking for motorhomes, caravans, and plant machinery. They ask you to send money to some ‘holding account’ while you wait for the vehicle to be checked over. Spoiler alert - the vehicle never shows up and your cash vanishes. Avoid Hayes Transport entirely - they’ve stolen the company details from a legitimate business, but you can’t get hold of them either.Hayes Transport7 yearsKeeps ringing but no one picks up.8 yearsReceived a message about an 'argos card' saying they urgently need to talk about my storecard account. The number they gave, 0800 321307, doesn't match Argos customer service, and I couldn't find anything about it on Google. Felt really fishy to me.Argos8 yearsToday my 14 year old daughter received a message like this too. Luckily she checked with me before replying. Definitely tell your children not to answer these kinds of texts!8 yearsI kept gettin calls tellin me to ring them back. So I called Argos myself and they had no clue about anythin. It's definitely a scam, be careful!Argos8 yearsI just got a text claiming to be from Argos services, saying they urgently need to talk to me about my store card account and to ring 080067857831. I do have an Argos card but it seemed fishy. So, I looked up Argos customer service and the number was totally different from the one in the message. Definitely a scam in my opinion!Argos ServicesArgos8 yearsI just received a message about an Argos card, but I’ve never had one. Strange!8 yearsGot a message saying ‘argos services here, we need to urgently talk about your store card account, please ring us on 08006785783’. I found it fishy since I do have an Argos card but if it was really urgent they’d probably ring me directly, plus what could be so urgent? Rang the official Argos card number and they confirmed it was a scam. So I blocked the number and reported it.Argos ServicesArgos8 yearsLike a few others, i got a text too but i ain't got no Argos card, so feels like some kind of scam to me.8 yearsI'm dealing with this too, seems like a total scam to me.8 yearsI got a text about my Argos account but I never even made one. Bit weird if you ask me.ArgosSubmit Your Own Report (0800 678 5783)
