CourierDriving.com Scam

---

CourierDriving.com is a scam and should be avoided at all costs. Apologies if you are reading this AFTER paying out the £49

There’s a lot of things wrong with the Courier Driving sales pitch which sets off the alarm bells if you know what to look for. The first thing you will notice is the piece of code the owner has found that shows today’s date. The owner is so impressed with this sales gimmick he’s used it twice, once at the top of the page telling you to ‘apply before midnight…14th December’ and then again lower down the page saying ‘places guaranteed for all applications made before midnight: 14th December’

Not a direct scam as such since you will recieve whaqt he is flogging but if you want to pay £49 for an e-book that gives you the contents of a yell search for couriers from 2004 and a how to fill in a pod instruction feel free, it's your money.

There was also a topic about Courier Hub on here a few weeks ago but now closed. So just incase there those still wondering...

courier-hub.co.uk (previously known as courier-network.net) is another website which should have the internal alarm bells ringing loudly. I ran a search on the domain name and found it was only registered a few weeks ago.

After a bit of research, it soon became apparent that this is a scam to lure you into parting with an administration fee, in exchange for the promise of a courier job at the rate of £20-£35 per hour, with the implication that you would earn £280-£350 a day. This is just one of the more outrageous claims made by this company. Pie in the sky hourly rates are the hallmark of just about every courier scam i have seen so far.

Also taken from freelance-courier.

I put on codforum last sept they were dodgy. Had contact from their solicitors and despite pointing out the obvious flaws they stood up for them.

They now don't stand up for them as courier hub hasn't paid them. I did ask if they check out their clients before standing up for them but they didn't reply to that individual email.

Nice to see a solicitor getting fleeced as they do that every day.. legally

Although, I have half a thought that courier-hub was started as a genuine business that could have done ok if it wasn't for the lies and high cost. The day they started they quoted having 100's of enquiries a day and guaranteed work when they have between sod all and none.

If they started, offered a fiver a month for the first year rising to whatever they wanted to extract from people after that on the basis they were new and the levels of work would be low from the start then it could have caught on.

Seems just too much of an expensive site to have been an out and out scam.

Just the lies, lies will bring you down every time.

Selfemployedcourier.com is a good one.

He's not a courier, never has been but he's got this mate see. This mate very kindly gave him his contact list of over 1100 couriers that he just happened to know and handed over the list so that everyone can call up and take his work. What a nice chap.

Well, that's easy... a good friend of mine has been a courier for 22 years and he has given me all the contacts over 1100 names, address and more importantly telephone numbers...so you can get in touch immediately.

I have a large book of thousands of companies and their telephone numbers local to YOU.

Just send me £49.99 and Y will happily send you a copy of your local yellow pages.

Thanks all. They both seemed too dodgy. Alarm bells rang when could not find them on google maps etc. Cheers. Some funny comments there.

For sameday work there really are only 2x sites with any credibility whatsoever.

Anyone else is either a scammer or promising something they can't deliver.

There really isn't a shortcut to avoiding what all of us more established bods have all had to do, and that is get out there and find the work yourself.

Not want you wanna hear, it's bloody hard work, monotonous, disheartening at times, but ultimately you get out what you put in.
