Our club would be interested - have you any further info?

What is your fee or pecentage from these?

Maybe it's a crazy reason on my part, but if your internationally successful firm presents itself in such a sloppy way (wording of post, grammar, punctuation ...) I don't reckon I'd want my club going anywhere near you.

Good luck.

I think this is a scam. Any reputable company would be making contact through county boards etc. and not an open forum discussion board. Show us your full credentials and references before any clubs will go any further ( i take it all club personnel agree)

Phone bills a la Gaelic Telecom ?

Steer clear of this lad until he/she puts a decent bit of info up regarding who they are, what they do, how the fundraising works etc etc.

Easy to say very reputable etc. the internet wont refuse a bit of typing

From his email address it seems he is an employee of Eircom

haranguerer · January 12, 2010, 04:45:56 PM

No it doesnt - eircom provide email addresses.

Hi All

Many thanks for all your enquiries and the posts below. As a representative of the company, I should have taken more care with the wording,grammar, and punctuation of the post.Yes, we are all entitled to our opinion,but would it not be best to have all the information on the opportunity and the company before forming one and using such language .

As a reputable company, firstly I/we made contact with Gaa HQ PR Dept who advised me to contact the county boards .I have contacted two county boards who further advised me to contact clubs directly (as this is a fundraising opportunity for individual clubs ) which I have commenced with, and I decided to advertise on an open forum to get responses as quickly as possible, so as I can forward the information to the clubs as requested giving the clubs the opportunity to evaluate the fundraising potential and complete due diligence on the company , legal and otherwise .

I fully understand all your concerns and appreciate your desire for more information, So if you are an active committee member (verifiable details) and would like your club to take part in this trial, please forward your club details and I will forward you details about the company and the opportunity.

Lads unlike Fundraising I have made no bones about the fact that I am asking clubs to do fundraising through my company. I have contacted a number of clubs and am currently working with these clubs to develop the fundraising plan.

Here is my website and we work along the same idea as Ha Ha Derry posted above. Contact me if you want any further information.

Anyone get any details in relation to this....

Lone Shark · January 25, 2010, 01:15:52 PM

I emailed and asked a few questions and got no response, so I can only presume that we didn't suit as a club, in which case it was rude not to respond, or he didn't like some of the questions. It would be a red flag for me anyway.
