Lee Martin https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08962493/officers

He's resigned, it's currently Directorless - could be a companies house updating delay.... looks like the strike off action has been temp suspended which could mean a creditor has raised an objection, or could mean accounts have been filed.

Could be IME have just broken part of their site - seems there used to be a Login/Register bit at the top but it's not there now ( coding shows it is just empty - attached coding is the top white bar divs ) so had a look back on wayback machine... but seems it's been empty since 2013 .. which is odd

2013 they had a Sign Me Up link and a register page at /user/register but that's a 404 now. Ahh and 2015 there was a Register page too, homepage didn't link to it so not sure how people found it.

Maybe they're just doing some work on the site and have restricted access to previously signed up users?
No idea if there was any checking registrants were on nhs emails or anything.

Just found a link to SB on the Derbyshire NHS website ( http://dchs.nhs.uk/nhs_benefits ) - it doesn't seem to give any info on how to sign up and I still haven't worked out how you'd sign up on the SB website. Thinking maybe asking them?

My Husband would, but we don't want to jeopardise our case as I don't think this Company has finished with us yet!

I’m absolutely sure Lee Martin keeps close tabs on this forum... he will know which battles he should choose. I’ve read forums today where he replies to comments but he’s quiet with this one.

Re: Internet Media Experts - staffbenefits.co.uk - NHS Intranet Advertising

DO NOT pay OMS anything. They are scammers who do not provide any services; I found out when I rang the two NHS Trusts that we paid for. I have reported this company to ActionFraud. I have also reported them to the Insolvency Service and suggest that you do the same (email: Jo.Molony@insolvency.gsi.gov.uk). I cannot believe these people are still scamming several months after several people have reported them. It's a disgrace.

i know a company that got contacted today about signing a contract with them. They’re still at it! I reported them last month to Action Fraud also.

Re: Internet Media Experts - staffbenefits.co.uk - NHS Intranet Advertising

They called us representing the NHS Trust.

Well that is misrepresentation to begin with.

I wonder if they will try and use the bit in their NHS contract

1)]www. staffbenefits.co.uk will negotiate offers and discounts from a range of services and retailers for the Trusts staff and membership locally and Nationally completely free of charge to the Trust.

to say they are permitted to negotiate on behalf of the NHS trust ?

Nope - there's absolutely no registration section at all. Another bullet in the "contract cancellation" arsenal.

I've found that they've been targeting companies within my industry very, very heavily. Waiting on some calls and replies from various other business owners in the same industry who have been caught out or targeted.

Waiting on the line to ActionFraud at the moment for some further advice.

I also missed this bit - apologies.



They called us representing the NHS Trust. I even had a discussion with them when they called about how I've been looking at getting onto the NHS to get on the blue card discount scheme.

we are an NHS dental practice and I fell for it. Feel so stupid.

I can't see how an NHS employee would sign up for it - can you ?

How did you first get involved with them? ( I mean how did you come to make the appointment with them to visit you)
