And what type of prices. You probably have to work your self to death just to earn a grand a month.

They will promise the world you will be lucky if you even get half of what you pay for. I might be wrong, I think you must be new to this game. Its a con you work yourself to a stand still they make the money and no guarantee for you. Any one with a experience will tell you its crap. Sorry to be so forthright I don’t want to see you loose money. Regards Wizard.

A £1000 to join. :) It's a nice round figure..the sort of figure that jumps straight into your head when you want to con someone.

Why would it only suit a new starter, and not an established window cleaner? Something doesn't ring right here.
15 years ago my brother in law bought into an office cleaning franchise. The cleaning contracts he got given were so under priced he couldn't earn a penny out of them.
Better to canvas your own work and price it right.

Its very professional when they use are instead of our..........

If it takes £1000 to sign write the van who pays for the van and equipment ???

Someone should contact them and see what other b*****ks they come up with

I think it's a member of this forum.

Also I think it's a finance deal involving something like a lease company. This is where the £51.00 a week comes from. It mentions that you need a good credit rating. This will mean that the lease/finance company will accept the deal. Whoever this is will get paid a big capital sum by the finance company up front when the punter signs up and starts work.

I could be wrong but don't think I am.

This is ringing lots of alarm bells.

Why would anyone hand over £1000 up front, then £51 per week for life to advertise someone else's business (on your van by the way) and for you to have the privilege of doing their work?

Any established window cleaner will be able to see right through this scam, which is why they are looking for those looking to start up. What happens if you sign up, then want out? With a good credit rating being a necessity, they will be looking for you to keep paying whether you keep doing the work or not.

To anyone wanting to start up ...  Canvass, canvass, canvass. There is plenty of work out there, just get out there and find it. If you sign up for this offer you will almost certainly regret it.

Best wishes,
John.

They have revised their listing 3 times now, & the wording has changed massively during yesterday.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemRevisionDetails&item=290411527259

I wonder what the company name is? perhaps it is "World Domination Window Cleaning", lol. :)

Surely alarm bells were ringing when he failed to spell 'our' correctly not once, not twice but half a dozen times!?

In fact he doesn't spell it wrong but simply puts 'are' instead!

What an awful prospectus.

Anyone who doesn't do their market research prior to starting any business is either a fool or just too lazy looking for a get rich scheme because greed rules their head.
