Courierology exposes courier scams
Date: 09 August 2007
A number of courier scams have been exposed by the website Courierology, part of the Courier Freeway Alliance.
The site notes that Jobs for Drivers (www.jobs-for-drivers.co.uk) is looking for self-employed drivers for £21.75 an hour. However, they are required to pay for checks to complete your reference.
Jobs for Drivers suggest that couriers use a 'referencing agency' called CRS, where it will cost £49.65 to do the necessary checks. Couriers can choose to use an alternative service, however.
CRV Couriers (www.crvcouriers.com) is also running a scam, Courierology says.
This company promises earnings of £250 per day for those who buy a manual. It claims to have a fully-staffed office in London, but this is actually just a mail box at Mail Boxes etc.
Other companies to look out for are Logistic Link and Central Courier Company, the website claims.
