Title: Has anyone heard of this company
Post by: Jim Waugh(Albright & Shiny) on May 10, 2016, 02:58:15 pm
I have just had an unsolicited contact from our website form a company called I love your windows..

offering work in the area to the right business our current man is retiring Blah blah blah... on the surface seems genuine..

Then I start digging apart from the website iloveyourwindows.com I cant find details of them anywhere.
Dig a bit deeper and seems the parent company is called windows media Ltd... search of companies house and its a dissolved Book company . google search on the phone number and its doesn't bring up any real trace.

Im smelling Scam at this point. Anyone else had this or heard of them?

Who is going to employ a new window cleaning cleaner/company and pay 6 months in advance for 4 weekly cleans and 1 year in advance for 8 weekly cleans?

No this one http://www.iloveyourwindows.com
Im going to delve a little further and come back to you. There is so little online traffic around this it has to be a new scam of some kind.

Looks the same sort of rubbish that Price tried to set up also Ian Wicks tried similar.
Basically the website does the work - you pay them a fee, they do bugger all and take the money.

Why `don`t we all book a clean and swamp their website. If it`s a scam it will keep them busy until next year.
