If a school loses data on its RAID5 server or NAS be sure to contact Andy and the team at R3.
A recent case saved a school £10,000s from being taken advantage of by data recovery specialists in Wales who market themselves as NHS service providers but use Fields Associates aka Fields data recovery to actually handle the calls and data recovery attempts.
DRS tried to inflate the recovery and waste time and give their Fields Analytics staff in Thailand more reasons to party!
This is wrong and damaging not just schools and small businesses but also competition.
We sent a driver to Fields Headquarters in Bridgend retrieved most of the disks which had been held for a week and successfully recovered the urgently needed data and returned it over the following 3days. In fact we did 2 recoveries and over 1000 miles of dedicated driver relays to speed up the restoration process.
This was only one of several recovered successfully in May 2017 that were previously sent to Fields Data Recovery Specialists and Rapid Data.
Rescued NAS RAID belonging to a school – DRS / Fields were holding the school to ransom – We saved the School over £10,000+vat and possibly as much as £20,000+vat if they had continued with their deception.
The NAS drives had some faults possibly due to power outages, there were two sets of data. Both were recovered successfully without any issues.
To attempt to take advantage of a school in its hour of need is despicable, a profitable days work is one thing, trying to extract more money for no reason by psychological warfare trained sales staff paid basic 12000baht plus bonuses makes Fields worse than the eBook / CV / Will writing scams of 15 years ago – oh my mistake they still do that too.
The Fields Group companies are well funded by overcharging, scamming, low wage bills in Thailand and securing Welsh Assembly grants as part of supporting employment in the “suicide capital ” Bridgend.
Fields Data Recovery have for nearly 20 years deceived their competitors and defrauded consumers out of £ millons. Being well funded with a film set for a lab is part of how Fields deception works ISO 9001 quality assurance can be designed to maximise a scam too. Their scam is nothing new it has been going on for years and is very lucrative.
The Fields Group of companies have so many complaints and Trading Standards Investigations they have a full time legal / complaints team trying to deter (threaten ) consumers and businesses from taking them to court.
Germany is affected by Fields through Datenphoenix which attracted TV exposure for its deception.
European consumers are also affected: Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and Germany are prime target Clinica De Datos, Clinique de Donnes Datenphoenix, Recuperacion Express, Pronto Dati, Salvataggio Dati..
The Fields Group sends £100,000 every year to Thailand based Fields Analytics Co Ltd Chaing Mai previously Fields South East Asia. This helps explain the low cost base and ability for Fields to operate profitably despite being a well below industry average operation.
Some of Fields staff in Thailand – Rewards of food and social gathering helps strengthen a team approach but at whose cost?
Call centres in Thailand funded by Welsh grants – ab so lutely brilliant!
