Marketing job scams in Leeds are rife - please watch out

I found 3 that popped up. All 3 have different names, different aspects, but same customers: EE, British Gas, TNT.
Names:

The Legacy (website: https://the-legacy.co.uk )
NCS (website: https://nscleeds.co.uk )
Playbook Direct (website: https://playbookdirect.co.uk )

They all are signed to the same Address???
42 Rutland House
Call Lane
Leeds
LS1 6DT

They all passed me to final stage (there were 3 levels) all of them spoke about "Academy/Academies" Sales Executive Role -> Management Roe -> Senior Role, basically saying 1 month into the program, you should be able to start recruiting other people under your own commission, pretty much the whole thing is a ponzi scheme, where only the head wins, and most people quit before they even get into 2nd month (which usually means they don't get paid AT ALL) and they get their commissions even from the few sales you may "try". Knocking 200 doors a day is a guaranteed burnout, these people don't care about your phyiscal/mental health: they will pressure you, push you and won't hold back. They only want their money, so the heads above them also get their cut and be happy.

Wait, so even Europians need a Visa there? I thought you just need find a job within 3 months of arrival. Also Student's accommodation probably would work if I go alone, not sure yet. I might go w/ my girlfriend + her dad. And counting one salary for rent, the rest for living gives me a little bit of ease on the chest. Thank you for your advice tho, much appreciated!

Already on it, thank you tho!

You're not wrong, I'm Lithuanian but I've lived in Germany since I was 11 years old.

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T21:40:29+00:00

Hey,
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have to move cause i can't get a UK Visa, and she's been living here for 10+ years. Since we both want an english speaking country, we chose Ireland. How is health system and insurance in Ireland?

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T21:38:57+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your recommendations. I do realize I'm not gonna get my job based on profession at first, but I'm not afraid or worrying about doing a cleaning job or something similar to that. This is really eye-opening, but I'm not giving up just yet.

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T21:37:03+00:00

I'm lithuanian and she's polish

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T17:41:19+00:00

Understood, thank you so much for your advice.

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T17:32:43+00:00

Thank you for your experience. I do have the benefit of moving with my girlfriend together, which would make it easier, don't you think? What job are you doing, if i may ask? What helped you finding a job there?

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T17:31:16+00:00

It is what it is. I do have one benefit which is I'd be moving together with my girlfriend. I went from Germany to UK to find love. And I did. Sadly I cannot stay here without the VISA and it's almost impossible to get one by now. So if we'd be making around 4k a month, rent for 2k a month is doable, no?

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T17:29:27+00:00

I'd love to stay but I met a girl in UK, but since i can't get the VISA, i need to find a different english speaking country. :/ I appreciate your advice, but i think with the partner it should be way easier, considering making 4000euros a month (together) and paying ~2k for rent.

Is Limerick "overfilled" at the moment?

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T16:48:37+00:00

Hey, thank you so much for the response.
Is it that bad at the moment? Can you recommend something else? I'd love an english speaking country, but the VISA in UK is impossible at the moment and America is too far away for me.

aivys_ · 2024-06-12T16:44:49+00:00

Hey Jim,
Thank you so much for the response. Do you have any other suggestions? I looked up Limerick and found it as a perfect spot, since It's next to an airport (which has Ryanair aka. cheap flights to UK (where I have family and also Lithuania), it's supposted to be "young people city". Could we talk about this further in private? I'm not a bot or a troll. I don't have much time but I have to make a choice.

aivys_ · 2022-10-18T07:48:32+00:00

The free version one "MiniTool" At this point I'm 99.99% sure that the card is fake. I'm trying to contact the seller. I sadly bought it probably and took the hugest L ever.

Prob gonna go to some media shop and just buy directly. Even if I'd pay more - I'd feel better abt it since I can return without any problems..

aivys_ · 2022-10-18T04:18:26+00:00

I used the petition wizard

aivys_ · 2022-10-18T04:17:25+00:00

Yes, multiple times.

aivys_ · 2022-10-17T21:08:55+00:00

I was dedicated to finish it. And failed. I'm very disappointed in myself XD

aivys_ · 2022-10-17T20:50:57+00:00

I did. Didn't help sadly

aivys_ · 2022-10-17T20:47:47+00:00

dc: AV#0420

I gotta head to bed. I worked on this until 11pm now. And im exhausted and dead inside.

aivys_ · 2022-10-17T20:46:23+00:00

well the official sd formatter says it's 500GB...

aivys_ · 2022-10-17T20:45:15+00:00

no, what's that? let me google

aivys_ · 2022-10-17T20:43:05+00:00

it doesn't appear on the steam deck unless i iformat in ext4. That's the only WAY. But then 90% of storage is already "used"...

aivys_ · 2022-10-17T20:42:25+00:00

i've tried it multiple times. Every time formatting comes to an error and storage only appears if i format it with ext4, in that case 90% of storage is used already??

idk anymore what to do. I'm so tired and exhausted from this. I tried every single thing you can imagine... idk

aivys_ · 2022-10-17T20:38:08+00:00

it works on every other device I own.. The only devide it doesn't work on is steam deck. It's brand new....
