Theeducationalhub Recenzje 

This company is a SCAM. Avoid!

We were cold called and offered a service at no cost to our business. The contract was sent over and the £500 fee detailed was questioned with the sales representative before signing. We were told it was a standard contract and to just ignore that section.

We signed the contract and realised that the service they promised was not applicable to our business. We have tried on a number of occasions to contact the company via telephone and via email, all of which have been ignored.

We have since received a legal letter from Education hub threatening us with court action if we don't pay even though they wont accept our call and are not providing any service at all.

If you are approached by this company do yourselves a favour and hang up!

1 star is 1 star too many for this company

I've been scammed by this Company The Educational Hub they are professional scammers ,they advertised on Bark.com says they have 2 ongoing contracts and first come first serve ,after paying £500 they just put my details on to their database and that's it no contact with schools or any kind of contract .I reported to Action Fraud Police and I will wait to see what will be next step .

If there were zero stars, it would be more fitting. Let me just say that the sales pitch is very appealing. They make out like there is a treasure trove of business waiting for you on the other side of their membership fee. There was mention of projects of up to 50,000 pounds. Just a casual number drop to reel you in. Oh, how silly I was.

I was told that they were in desperate need of a reliable and trustworthy copywriting and PR business to help over 1000 UK schools with their content writing needs. They paint the picture that all of these schools are relying on The Educational Hub to send them the service providers and resources they need. I don't know how I believed them, I mean, don't these schools have Google? Of course they do!

What I found out after paying the 900 pounds was that The Educational Hub is a glorified business directory. The schools already have their own providers, and for that ridiculous amount, I could list my business on their directory in the HOPES that one of the schools noticed me. There was never any guarantee of me getting any business through them. But I was assured with great excitement that there would be.

Once I realised this, I didn't sign the agreement, I didn't want to be a part of it, and only hours after I'd paid the fee, I politely asked for a refund and said that it's not for me. I'd had second thoughts. You would think that when there has been no exchange of services, and that no agreements were signed that it would be a simple case of getting a refund. Not so.

It took almost 2 weeks to be sent the formal refund documentation (which was basically just an email address to contact). I filed my request almost immediately. I was then told it would take ten days for my request to be reviewed. This was getting a bit ridiculous now. It was my money. I had received nothing for it. I wanted it back. But still, I waited. I then got an email saying that out of a gesture of goodwill, they would refund 50% of my money.

That was when I hit the roof. Goodwill? Are they crazy? They took my money so quickly. I didn't sign any agreements, I requested politely that my money be refunded, and I got sent from pillar to post to find out how to do that, only to be told I would get 50% back "as a gesture of goodwill"?

I told them I would report them to which they responded by sending me their legal team's email address. That's when I stopped all communication, I reported them, and I have now started to spread the world about this manipulative business so as to prevent any other small business falling prey to their clutches.

Please DO NOT Hand over the money. Read the reviews. They will tell you the reviews are all written by a disgruntled ex-employee. They have a story for everything. You have been warned.

This company misrepresented their services to me. The phone conversation made it sound like they were looking for an exclusive provider for mental health services. Yet instead I was being placed into a directory with many other providers. I was fortunate as Trading Standards stepped in and after 10 weeks I finally got a refund. If you engage with them, check everything thoroughly and don’t make any haste decisions until you know exactly what you’re getting. Had Trading Standards not intervened I would have lost a considerable amount of money. My experience with the company once I realised the misrepresentation only two hours after paying them, was hugely frustrating and upsetting. They said there was no cooling off period. My error was that I got swept away with their sales talk. I’ve learnt my lesson. I will be careful from now on. I urge you to do the same.

Took out a package of postcode priority member and tender notifications. Tenders are very good and the help to complete these is beneficial as I have never done rendering before.

Have sent a mail shot to the schools in my area through the company which has resulted in some interest by email from various schools, booked in next week to provide a quote.

Was also offered other areas but looking for some return on initial area before taking further areas.

so far so good, not produce any work as of yet but I have had schools contact me for work which I have quoted for which will hopefully turn into sales

*EDIT* And they're now asking me for "more information" via Trustpilot, including my full name, email address, and telephone number...I don't think so!!
Currently spamming me via email and phone. Known scammers. They must think us counsellors are a bit stupid? Avoid like the plague!

This company has tried tried to scam both myself and my wife twice.
They also trade under the names Ed First, School Supplies Service, tenders & contracts ltd and who knows what other names.

Just google "the educational hub scam" for more details

Great Sales talk, but behind the mask is just a tender/registrations site. They operate on/with Tenders4u.co.uk.

The sales pitch was "we've just had a company go under in your area, and we've selected you for the category "xxx".

When we asked how many sales leads they generated for the company before in the last year, they said "46".

This is just sales talk, as all the tenders you have to syphon through and then apply for yourselves.

Although listed on the database, no matter what products or services we searched for, we could not find our business either.

Poor - would not recommend to anyone as there are other B2B/Tender sites you can register for, for FREE!

This company charged £500+VAT for the service of doing nothing.
