Fake Reviews about 40 50 Media
There have been a number of fake reviews about 40 50 Media. The reviews do not match any client sale, profile or project at all. It is the same two people/competing companies that are adding these false statements. If 40 50 Media have ever had any genuine complaints, they have always been resolved and never has any party involved poseted a genuine review on this website.

The most dishonest company in the UK
When I contacted them, I was a bit inexperienced and needed a website. I got an ugly one and paid £3000 for it. They were constantly adding fees and costs for bits and pieces, and the website went down a few times. I had emails created with my company name and they constantly were suffering bugs. They are overall very unqualified and overpriced

15 months awaiting and I am still empty handed
I submitted my project 15 months ago (!!), paid deposit (50% of full amount) and still have nothing back so judge by yourself if you would like to use them or not... I read negative comments before submitting but foolishly decided to give it a go as had small budget. During process, there was plenty of delays due to different reasons on 4050 Media site: passing project from person to person, family issues etc... 12 months later, they just completely stopped responding. Now I don't have money or website or funds to continue my business. Just Brilliant! From my perspective 4050 Media just stolen my money.

Trying to leave
I have finished with them and am trying to get them to move my domain name to another provider but seem totally unable to contact them. They don't answer emails and the phone is always on answer phone. Currently I am not receiving emails and this is now causing me a problem, I wish I had never heard of them. I was with them when they were tricycle media and I found them okay but I believe that because I am trying to get away from them they are being obstructive. Either that or they are going to fold the company and start again, I am considering contacting Watchdog about them.

Beyond excellent service from 4050 media
I searched for 4050 Media reviews as I started using them a while ago and wanted to recommend them, and was surprised to find this review. I can only speak from my own experience, but it could not have been more different to the previous reviewer. They have been professional, friendly, timely, good value, and have given me a lot of extra support at no extra charge in the setting up of my website. I had little experience in the field, so could probably have been "scammed" without too much effort, but have found their integrity to be of the highest nature - advising me against costly methods and towards more economical ways of doing things, effectively reducing their own fees. I feel totally confident in highly recommending them.

40 50 Media Ltd previously known as Tricycle Media Limited are scammers
40 50 Media Limited, previously known as Tricycle Media Limited are scammers. It is the same people operating the defunct Tricycle Media Limited who are now operating 40 50 Media Ltd. Alan Wareham (Managing Director) and Fiona Jefferies (Sales Director) are the same people operating 40 50 Media. Many people were scammed by Tricycle Media Limited. The company went into receivership and their victims (clients) neither got the service they were promised nor their money back. I was one of those who was scammed by Tricycle Media now operating as 40 50 Media Ltd. I created a profile here on Pissed Consumers about this company in 2013 and I was shocked by the number of people who also suffered the same faith (see link below): http://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/tricycle-media-limited/tricycle-media-are-scammers-do-not-use-their-services-201303****2965.html If you search Tricycle Media Limited on Pissed Consumer's search box above, you will find that there were lots of clients scammed by the same company. In my thread titled : "Tricycle Media Limited - Tricycle Media are scammers - do not use their services" published in 2013, I gave a detailed account about the malpractices of this company. It was in that thread that a fellow victim gave the new name this company is now trading under (40 50 Media Ltd) after the liquidation of Tricycle Media Limited. Do not be fooled. It is the same people who are behind both companies. Alan and his team thinks that they can have a fresh start by trying to distance themselves from their former company (Tricycle Media). There are at least four different threads about Tricycle Media here on Pissed Consumer, most of which are bad reviews, and the good ones are rather suspect. I used the word "suspect" because it seems that Alan is using his team to make positive comments about the company and to vote down negative reviews. For example if you look at the votes in my original thread, you will notice that most of the comments about this company is negative, yet the vote downs are more than or equal to the number of voters who found the review useful. Something does not add up. As I stated in that thread, I couldn't care less about the votes. All I am interested in warning others about this thieving company. However, their behaviour does shows the length Alan and his team will go to in order to limit any negative reviews. Also, even if we are believe the testimonials provided in 40 50 Media Ltd's website (which I believe were cooked-up), those testimonials were for Tricycle Media not 40 50 Media. What they have done was copy the testimonials from the defunct Tricycle Media website and pasted it on to 40 50 Media Ltd. Don't fall victim to their new company (40 50 Media Ltd). See also how they distance themselves from Tricycle Media. There is no mention of Tricycle Media in their new website (e.g. history or about us), yet they have no problem using testimonials from that company. They deliberately did not mention anything about Tricycle Media because to do that will link their new company to the defunct Tricycle Media which had been engaged in fraudulent activities leading to is liquidation. Also, their website gives the impression that they have been operating as 40 50 Media for over 20 years when we all know that couldn't be further from the truth. They only started operating under this name about a year or two ago after the collapse of Tricycle Media. 40 50 Media Ltd is the same as Tricycle Media Limited. Do not be fooled. Avoid this company like the plague.
