Couldnt agree any more Papa, but just seems its a case of, dont say anything that can be seen to show a normal side to a company and expect help with a problem.
As I said, the Admin go all out to disclaim any link to the company, so why all the fuss?
If people want to give help give it, if not dont, but dont make a condition that help offered is only on the basis that people say pro things about the company in question.
And that relates to any company.

Passion about a job is not there anymore for the simple fact that we are all numbers.
The company soon know who you are when they want to text your redundancy notice to you.

I also did not find it surprising that he could not face up to that criticism.

As I have said previously in this thread I have never worked for NTL so those people have nothing to do with me, plus the fact that the original offences were commited in 2005 well before any merger and change of name.



This quote above is quite wrong as Virginmedia is an amalgamation of 2 distinctly different companies, one being NTL and the other being Telewest and both companies operated on 2 distinctly different platforms, so try not to make sweeping statements about something you obviously have no idea about.

But the bare facts are Moldova, had NTL not existed we would not have what we have now? Virgin Media?
Dont say I have no idea about it.

I am completely in favour of anyone being prosecuted for offences such as this as it increases everyones insurance premiums and no one ever wants that to happen.

I also believe that the sentences handed down in cases like this are pitiful and do not serve as a deterrent to these type of individuals.

Oddly enough discounting any post that I have made most posts have not been about the crime but rather the thread.

I still believe that the original title of the thread was meant to mislead and stand by that opinion as do many other posters in this thread.

As I said before Telewest is also part of Virginmedia and without it the would be no Virginmedia, and they were different companies using different kit and separate platforms.

NTL and Telewest merged to form one company.

What has this insurance scam got to do with who they were employed by other than that they worked together there?

Does anyone actually know how much extra car insurance we pay because of fraudulent claims?

At one time the area next to mine in Manchester had a high rate of car theft and and people living in the next road would get higher insurance quotes as a result because of their post code. It would be unfortunate for the people living in a particular street if fraudsters decided that it was an ideal place for these 'accidents' to happen.

Who they work for is obviously of interest due to this being CF but is in no way connected to their reason or motivation for it. They could just as well have been tesco employees.

Agreed Russ. here's a few examples of other threads in the forum. 2 of them nobody feels the need to complain about the OP that made the thread. 1 I made up.

Pope apologises for sexual abuse in Catholicism
Why do we need to know it's Catholics? is he apologising for every single Catholic? is every single Catholic a child abuser?

London's Metropolitan Police accused of waterboarding suspects
Is London really relevant to the story? and is it all officers in London that are involved?

NTL (VM) staff involved in 'Cash for Crash' scam.
Why did they report who the people worked for? there's people doing this scam all over the country every day.

Royal Mail staff involved in 'Tripped and fell over' fraud scam.
Why did they report who the scammers worked for? there's people claiming to have tripped up all over the country every day.

Gary, It would appear that you have no intention of discussing the topic and will continue to derail any attempt to do so.

No surprises here, you can't keep a job for long....

Can't believe I have just waisted even one minute reading this nonsense.

[speedfreak]

he could be one of those that fast move up the promotional ladder or gets head hunted a lot

Whoops, dont want an infraction, so on topic, theres loads of this that goes on. I worked with a bloke who when coming up to a junction with nothing coming the car infront stopped and actually reversed in to my workmate. 4 lads in the car all put a claim in, the police were aware of a scam though and his insurance were looking in to it. Never did find out what happened, that was 10 years ago, its always gone on

Absolutely - I know someone who worked for Jones Cable, Bell Cablemedia, CWC, NTL, and Virgin Media - but hasn't changed jobs (except for promotions within the company).
