The Fields Group of companies has various operations all with unusually high incidences of complaints, accusations of defrauding consumers. With over 829 Trading Standards investigations, 64 trading standards service requests and 20 enforcement visits it makes the fields Group Companies notoriety with trading standards unique.
Even a full time complaints department has not hidden the scale of deception. This is just in the UK and only for consumers who realised they were conned, most do not or give up against a pseudo legal firm with its own inhouse solicitors handling complaints.
The European and US markets are equally affected with Better Business Bureau flagging numerous complaints for the US and French, German Italian and Spanish victims unable to complain through the British consumer protection system.
I was threatened by its chairman to be put out of my home and business when I naively contacted them to say they were producing innacurate (read misleading) template reports and charging (read defrauding) consumers sometimes multiple times through multiple websites and brands often taking hundreds and even thousands of pounds for nothing actually productive to the client but highly lucrative to the Fields Group and its highly motivated bonus driven staff.
I realised the british and european markets were wide open to an internet savvy website production company. For over 15 years The Fields Group has been deceiving and defrauding consumers and businesses and has evolved into a pseudo law firm, it has claimed to be “Litigation Consultants” to police forces, borough councils and well known brands when in fact they are not. The extraordinary profits would not be possible without an industrial scale misrepresentation, deception and fraud delivery system built to handle complaints all with Welsh Assembly backing.
With a stated £11.5 million turnover should 20% be an acceptable profit to be made from scams – with hundreds of thousands sent to Thailand to buy Yachts and pay for “research” (read posting fake reviews and paying ex pats cheap wages to handle calls in multiple languages).

Endevour Law
Beware of allowing conmen to own the law and able to produced perjured affidavits to secure High Court Injunctions.
All built with Welsh Assembly and European Grants to enable cheap employment in Thailand in a 1% owned Fields Group company called Fields Analytics Co Ltd Thailand.
Beware the Fields Group also poses as Fields Data Recovery LLC in the US with numerous BBB complaints and dedicated websites to their scams.
European websites such as
- Daten Phoenix
- Pronto Dati
- Clinique de Donnes
- Salvataggio Dati
Data Recovery Specialists and Hard drive data recovery with fake facebook profiles and reviews across numerous platforms including TrustPilot.
What can appear on the surface as nothing more than a rivalry between companies should be seen for what it really is.
A fight for a fair marketplace and the delivery of cost effective and highly successful data recovery by reputable companies. The Fields Group is found on the .com boom of selling eBooks, Will Writing and document spooling services.
Competitors should not have to explain to consumers that they have been misled / defrauded or that a £97 failed hard drive data recovery service is really a bait and switch and damages true competition and fair pricing.
The reality is data recovery of failed storage devices requires skilled engineers and significant investment but Fields have secured above average profits and market domination through charging for work not done, securing grants and undermining competitors through “sector domination through unrelenting growth”.
Fields Group members and partners declare too many drives unrecoverable or under quote to win work only to find they cannot deliver, when they can deliver they attempt to extract every last penny through psychological profiling and analysis of the clients data.
Fields make serious profits through expensive “professional” looking websites, “forensic reports” that are designed to prevent consumers trying for a second opinion, and subsidised call centers in Thailand and Bridgend Wales whose staff are encouraged to use bait and switch.
Their returning of drives with finger prints on platters, the wrong donor parts charged for and even deliberate damage of clients drives in an attempt to cover up what they have tried to do is not to be seen just as dishonestly – it is malicious, evil and criminality of a corporate level.
I have had first hand dealings with the Fields Group and its member companies and Directors and their attempts to create review websites and dominate Google Adwords and reviews platforms has for over 15 years been their attempt at global domination through unrelenting force.
And for Quickie / Managed divorces and Data Recovery it has been very lucrative. PPI claims of £31 million at approx 25%+20% vat for something you can do for free yourself is soon to end.
So what will their next area of domination be?
- Sugar Daddy websites
- Lush Dates
- Injunction Direct
- Endevour Law
- UK Digital Solutions
Investors in People and ISO 9001 accreditation backed by Welsh Assembly support should not be used to create a pseudo law firm proven to defraud consumers on an industrial scale and undermine its competitors through underselling, Pay Per Click fraud and fake reviews on Google Yell and TrustPilot.
When they attacked my companies reviews their TrustPilot scores for Rapid Data were around 9.0 when I investigated and exposed their scams their average has dropped closer to 8.1 /10.
Reality is they are below average for their sectors and rely on their ability to do more phone calls per day and deliver more advertising from google adwords thanks to their ill gotten profits.
Do not allow yourself to be one of the 20% conned or allow a website building / ebook selling pseudo law firm to become a real law firm because they believe they can buy the law and can get away with anything.
Don’t let it happen.
