Has anyone any experience of "itscoldoutside.co.uk"(or could be .com). They cold call by phone, introducing themselves as part of Google, and sell you a ranking service.
Following my falling for their smooth pitch, I gave them my card details, which have strangely falling into the hands of a "banker" in Cyprus, who has cleaned out my credit card!
This is being investigated, and any helpful information about these people would be appreciated.

However,I am not quite sure what a ranking service is?
I think what you got was nothing to do with the above firm,just someone preying on the vulnerable.Once they got your bank details (after posing as itscoldoutside) they cleared you out as (sadly) you now know.
Just be MORE CAREFUL in the future.eh?

Dear Mr. Veritas,
I have no doubts about your sincerity - in fact anyone calling himself "Mr Truth" would have to be trusted.Anyway you're 16 yrs my senior.
However - both I, and many previous contributors have opinions of this company at variance with yours, and one member was talking about a forthcoming issue of proceedings. There were also many complaints about the sales methods of this crowd. So. I'm afraid that their shiny, posh website has got you convinced of their veracity! Stock-in-trade of the con-man, you know. I was hoping to resurrect some of those earlier contributions.
Your comments are appreciated, and I frequently advise my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in like manner, (having had many years of experience in the legal biz) but, no matter how canny one thinks oneself to be, there is always likely to be someone even smarter just around the corner.
Incidentally, I am reliably informed that a ranking service claims to whizz your website details to the top of the Search Egnine lists.Of course it's too good to be true......isn't it?
