Ok - I know we have all decided he's a scum bag an' all.... but it always makes me laugh these stories........ I mean what's his "half million beach house" got to do with him being beaten up........

....or...........................

They may already know he's a scutter and threw that in ready for the mud slinging later? A quick google of 'Atlas Business Services' usually results in a visit here so....

EDIT: Twice on the first page of duckduckgo, think they are 'impartial'?

Brutal as it sounds, if he's the chap I had to deal with I don't give a toss. If it wasn't him then shit happens, but I really hate thieves and hiding behind OFCOM to steal doesn't make it any better.

Yes he is the guy that owns atlas telecom now often referred as together telecom. His father David Plumb will probably keeping running tge business for him and all the plebs of society will all keep their precious little jobs scamming people. But yes he is the owner and the so called brains of the business. He's not looking good put it this way!

I am amy I lost my e mail but its me we got a lot of hassle from this atlas place and when I had a go at that queen g I got slagged off well here is my moneysworth that tec monkey has said some of the most honest things ive read in recent weeks. He feels well narked about being ripped off. They caused us loads of upset too and they just think its funny to pretty much tell lies. They missell

I do hope a persons death is not being used to try and protect a business by attempting to get this thread deleted. I assumed it was family members

So reading between the lines, The recent occurrences involving Mr Plum have lead to the discover of this thread by Atlas employees or owners. Realising how damaging it is to them as an ongoing business they are doing their best to get it removed. While demonstrating their customer service techniques.

Just to be clear that Together Telecom in Blackpool is the new name for Atlas Telecom and they missell to people then try and hold your number to ransom

Now Jon is dead who is in charge, should a court case arise it would be useful to know who to implicate as the current director. I'm guessing dave?

So, is it David Plum we direct our ire towards now? A director dying means nothing, the firm still exists. Who is ripping people off currently?

Google rankings climbing ever higher. The forum itself scores well but this thread is out out performing everything else!

Together Telecom is the new name for Atlas Telecom its the same people doing the same thing here is how one of there ex staff say they operate its called MISSELLING and Together Telecom (formerly ATLAS TELECOM) do this

So for all that arent aware I will reveal step by step how they "sucker" you in so that those new to this forum can see.

They ring you up out of the blue under the guise of offering a government funded grant for the broadband services for small to medium businesses and proceed to make sure you "qualify".

Qualification is a bunch of irrelevant questions about your business such as no. of employees how long youve been trading etc. all designed to throw you off course so they can get the real info they want; your provider and how many lines you've got. As long as your spend is high enough usually over £45 for lines call and BB they agent will then tell you that you need to speak to the grants team to ensure there is still availability in your are but you could be saving upto £1500 if there is.

This is where the clinchers dig there claws in. They run an imaginary check on your postcode to make sure you're "in the catchment area" or there is "grant availability left" in your area. Then they go through and proceed to tell you some made up story as to why the grant is available and that its to help your business "grow and develop" and that its funded through the Department for Sports Media and Culture and advise you to look at:

https://www.gov.uk/broadband-delivery-uk and https://www.connectionvouchers.co.uk/
To try and legitimise their claims. At this point they've waffled on to great extent so you have forgotten the previous stuff so youre left thinking that you're getting whats on either of those pages. At this point you're usually fairly interested so now they mention a price that is almost half your existing bill with your current provider, as little as £24.99 + VAT for 1 line and Broadband to try and seal the deal. But wait you're in a contract and cant leave your current provider. At this point they start flaunting Ofcom General Condition 9.6 about which is probably the only truthful thing they say in the whole call but in order for that to work they convince you that your provider changes their prices regularly which they probably dont. Info on Ofcom General Condition 9.6 can be found here:

http://ask.ofcom.org.uk/help/services-and-billing/conchange
The whole process is very well thought out and I'd be surprised if half of the staff even know that theyre conning you. I still know one or two people that work there so if i here any news as to changes ill let you know."

That does indeed seem to be the case. :(
