Property management companys offering work for up front fees...Bogus fraud??

[Russellgas]

I have been contacted by various prop management companys asking for an up front fee for gas installs and maintenance on 500 properrtys they want 2k+ this seems too good to be true and when this is the case it normally is or am i wrong ????

A company has contacted you for a fee upfront and they will give you work????

I reckon I would be laughing at them and saying jog on

I also checked company's house a min ago and they aren't registered,I've only been gas safe 6 months so I'm new to all this..

Must be a hundred threads on here over the last couple of years.

Almost all of them are cons. Often under different company names but with the same directors.

Avoid.
