We have paid for their services and have received nothing in return no calls, threatening emails and now I am about to lodge with Fair Trading.

Does not give what they promise

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

DO not sign up with trades U can trust, they say you will get multiple leads and jobs from them but we didn't get one job and they only try and get jobs for you from Facebook Marketplace. The jobs weren't even in our category or area.

Got promised multiple times work in different areas and did not deliver. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

Dissatisfaction with Trades U Can Trust

I paid a annual subscription last December for almost $1,200.00 and got very little in way of return. Got no where near what they offer. A total shame.

Absolute SCAM and FRAUD - DO NOT BUY INTO THE PROMISES

This mob got us just as we were starting up - 6 months later not a single lead or job has come from them opposed to everything we have done for ourselves. Now as a result we are constantly also getting harassed by a variety of 'business' all related to 'community, welfare, volunteer' magazines just demanding payment without even speaking to us, sending a proof or even having a conversation.

They all have the same phone number and go to the same ABN and no magazines exist. Beware, dont say you haven't been warned and contact the ACCC and consumer affairs in your state to report.

Hi Guys

If anyone have got call from TRADIES YOU CAN TRUST trust me they are fraud. We signed a contract with them and at the time they made big promises saying they'll get us jobs this that and they said you don't have to pay full amount in advance pay half and if you get work and you like it then pay rest of the money blah blah blah and after signing we haven't got any job and when we contacted them they talked different and started forcing to pay the money threatening if we won't pay the some in time they will report our company to debt collector. Be aware I posted job on this page that's how they find me.

Thank you

F

We also got done by this mob. Couple years later and still causing us pain.

Beware they complain to google to have records removed from search engines too - so people can't find their complaints - pffft - you can still find them!! FRAUD / SCAM - Goes by many alias - KRISTINE HOLLEY - TRADES U CAN TRUST - TUCT - TRADES YOU CAN TRUST - ABN 28 499 51* *** - Do not deal with this business and if you get caught out report them to Department Fair Trading in your state and ACCC.

Extremely unhappy client

Trades U Can Trust - Extremely unhappy client

If you are contemplating signing up with TUCT as a service provider please read this review first as it may save you a great deal of time and money.

After my first six months as a trade service paying for "leads" generated by TUCT I became increasingly frustrated by the poor quality leads and unprofessional system of delivering client details. When I attempted to cancel my contract I was informed that I was locked in for a full year with no facility for refund.

Once out of contract I was highly pressured by the (quite lovely and convincing) sales staff to renew, and promised more local, better quality leads.

To date, I have won a single job from a great deal of leads and wasted a great deal of administrative effort responding to clients and supplying quotes which are always low quality and almost never accepted.

Finally, when I decided to quit the contract once and for all, my (admittedly frustrated but far from rude) email was responded to with threats of litigation if the final outstanding payment was not paid immediately. Not a single word of concern for my significant loss of time and money was offered-just a strongly worded threat of legal proceedings based on what is in my opinion a very misleading sales pitch and cleverly devised contract.

Final thoughts: Read the TUCT contract several times before signing and be prepared for low quality leads.

SCAMMER CON ARTISTS STAY AWAY!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOB

Biggest mistake paying them to "advertise" for us on Facebook...which I do for free myself and do a way better job.

We did not receive one lead with this joke company! They take your money and do NOTHING for you.

As soon as they get called out on the SCAM they turn rude and abusive.

Kris Krissy AKA Kristine Holley has done this before under different business names. She is no longer allowed to own a business, so this one is fronted by one of her lackies!

Search FIONA GIRVIN on the groups section of Facebook and she posts all over Australia scamming businesses to join.

This is a scam, they offer a Qoin which is worth nothing in dollar value, it's pyramid selling. Stay clear of the business they have been many others businesses ripping the small man off for years, Advertising R Us, App R Us, App Nation, Diamond Digital Print, Telco100 and now Trades U Can Trust, the fraud dept closed them down some years back, then they went into liquidation as App Nation and were closed down, just start again under another name... BE AWARE DO NOT DEAL WITH THE BUSINESS.

Yet another scam from these people, when will the ACCC or Fair Trading close them down once and for all... Any reviews that are positive are from the owners Kristine Holley and Fiona Pearce, selling advertising on FB which is free and charging people and now adding Qoin, which is a huge scam....Google first and you will be shocked.

These people are scammers. They are the people from Telco100, just changed names yet again, they were Apps R Us and App Nation, this business is not a registered business, nor does it have an ABN plus they charge GST and not declaring it. A huge Scam, STAY CLEAR OF THIS BUSINESS, the flights are a joke, not free at all, they incorporate the flights into your accommodation.

Cannot get hold of them after paying with my credit card

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Trades U Can Trust are the same people managing the Telco 100 that used to Scammed people in Australia. Their price for advertising in their Facebook Page is $595+gst and they offer you a return flight to the Gold Coast for 2 people.

After I paid the advertising for my business the Facebook Page where my location is not working and when I rang them you cannot get hold of the person who signed me for my advert and try to get hold of their Manager Jodie Harrison but she is always out.Don't get fooled by this scammers.

They also accept credit card payment which is dangerous as this people can use you credit card again for other things. Their address is the same as Telco 100
