Geo Internet, Gio Internet?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm sorry to send shivers down peoples spine but is everybody else being bombarded with emails from Geo Internet? asking the recipient to signup to their £9.99 a month broadband service.

I wonder if this is the same outfit that was responsible for the atrocious Gio Internet service which was eventually close down. I cannot find any headoffice address on the web site www.geointernet.co.uk and all contact is via email, which I find very suspicious.

I would be vary careful about signing up to this company until it has been verified as a responsible ISP or you could end up like hundreds of others did last Christmas with wrongful debt notices landing on your floor on Christmas Eve, sent by the equally infamous Wescot debt collectors. Yes we have not forgotten how you treated us and how it spoilt our Christmas.

If this is a genuine new company that adheres to good trading standards then I wish it luck.

Sorry I posted about this in another thread, but yes I received an e mail from geointernet.co.uk and I was a former customer of Activeware ( part of Gio ).

I think there is a case for reporting this matter to the Data Protection people...:shrug:
 
Me too, I was first with Gio and then with Activeware. I have contacted Ayrshire trading standards asking them to check if Geo is complying with trading standards.

These are the only addresses that I could find:

Address of domain registrant:

1 Milkstone Road
Rochdale
OL11 1ED

And:

Geo Internet
Suite 126
Great Underbank,
Stockport
SK1 1LE
 
Why on earth would they be mad enough to use a name that instils fear and hatred in so many, they could have at least tried a new name and gone for a fresh start and design. Suffice to say, we won't be adding this one to our listings =).

Why not? What's the old adage - "give them enough rope...."

Wouldn't it be better to list them with a link pointing to the "not gio" news story, just in case someone not familiar with GIO is thinking of signing up?
 
I have now had 4 emails from geo internet, one of which was a third party email address that has only been used by 1 other person about 6 times in 4 years. The only way they could have got this address was by logging it when it went through their server and then using it for their own gain.
This is a discraceful use of other people private data and trading standards have been informed.

Their website still seems to be a work in progress (try registering with a blank form) perhaps they will sort the address before launching :shrug:

I also noticed the geo site doesn't even have a valid certificate yet, I guess their launch was a bit premature.

So if you want to get beaten up by a *really* heavy debt collector hired by a company who will steal every last penny from you, these are obviously the people to go with. :)

So if I read this right this company's contact is Mohammed Ali and they are based on a street named after a famous outlaw who robbed the rich:laugh: :laugh:

Is someone taking the pee here ???

It seems there really is a robin hood street in manchester - Apparently ADC debt management are on Cheetham hill :D according to their entry at company house:-

Name & Registered Office:
ADC ORGANISATION LTD
5 ROBIN HOOD STREET
CHEETHAM HILL
MANCHESTER
LANCASHIRE M8 5JE

The contact address on their website gives:-

Robin Hood Suite
5 Robin Hood street
Cheethamhill Road
Manchester
M8 9JB

None of the postcodes seem to be valid.

For 5 Robin hood street, Royal mail comes up with

General & Commercial Guarantee Ltd, 5, Robin Hood Street, MANCHESTER, M8 9JG

It also came up with a shopping park on cheetham hill road :shrug:
and there's a Wallpaperland LTD at 5-11 Cheetham Hill Road Manchester M4 4FY
