The nature of these things is that people just turn up without asking for further info - so he is costing people who perhaps can ill afford them money and time. He has developed a pattern on his media sites - make an outrageous claim (ordering A350s for example), waiting for the howls of laughter/objections from the pros, arguing faintly and then posting all manner of crap - about Brexit, Theresa May, other airlines’ news, Thailand tourism pictures etc etc - to make the original item sink without trace down the page. I’ve no clue on his motives but he clearly isn’t starting an airline. |
Another two observations - he has a myriad of Tw1tter accounts but the three latest ones seem to be:
@AirAtmosSupport - this started off being presented as a professional PR team in LA. Why LA, he is not planning any US destinations, but there you go. It is now being deluged in quotes from Theresa May in support of Brexit, which I can't imagine a professional PR company doing, I think it's him. @Utapao_Airport - loads of Atmosphere twaddle, and news about the temporary closure of the southern runway in DXB etc. Why would an airport with no connections to DXB care? Again, I think it's him. @HubStansted - puff about the airport, nowhere near professional enough to be from the airport, and guess which airline? Yep, reckon this is him as well. If his whole family weren't playing along I think we could dismiss this as harmless fantasy.... but...... |
Ref the Utapao Tw1tter; yep defo him for sure - tweeting past posts about Atmosphere directly as their own, as well as re-tweeting. What's worse is making out that it is the official account for the airport (reference to "we" in the account text). For what it's worth, email sent to Utapao Airport to notify; just hope their English is better than my Thai!
The Stansted account is also him; no doubt that there is a clear intimation to be more official than they are; unfortunately I can't see any clear evidence that they are expressly making out to be an official STN account. Ref the Atmos support account - for a PR team, those girls REALLY need to work on their social media presence...they do not exist anywhere else on the entire Internet! Perhaps I'm being unfair; after all I'm sure Atmosphere generates enough interest to keep them all busy with just the one client :) |
It's possible, of course, that his family don't know that they are involved.

Plus they are plastered all over social media. Someone would have spotted that and told them even if they were blissfully unaware. On balance I think that they are in on the joke... |

Lordy, if they don’t exist or have passed away we’re into a whole new galaxy of madness and/or fraud! I do wonder if he treating them both like bit part players in the Essex version of ‘Goodbye Lenin’.... coming up with increasingly bizarre reasons why people keep asking how their airline is coming along. “Airline? What airline?” :) |

Actively looking for $$$, and actively involved with Atmosphere... |

I contacted Michelle Bell on Facebook and predictably she has no involvement with this scam and has asked to be removed from website.
|
If You Say So; that twitter feed also looks rather suspect. I wonder if UTP's management are aware...
|
rational - email has been sent to the generic address on their website. Not sure if it will be read??
bamcb38c - good call. There was a looong list of other senior staff members from various Middle Eastern airlines and further afield. Perhaps they're all equally in the dark about their new career move? He seems to have gone a little quiet over the past few days. Perhaps he's coming to his senses....doubt it though. |
I was assuming that either someone at the respective social media outlets had finally realised it was a scam account or that some legal action had been taken.
|
Hopefully so. Although as a long-time "admirer" of his work, I note that he did tend to go through phases of noise followed by periods of silence.
Would almost be a shame to lose the entertainment, but he has without any doubt stepped over a very serious line recently; with likely (and well deserved) consequences. |
My friend is a trainer with Fly Dubai. Unsworth had her photo, description and how she was joining the team as head of Cabin Crew. She knew nothing about this at all and had to email to get her info taken down off the site |

The twitter accounts are active again this morning, asking for investment. This time using 777s

I dont use twitter twitter but is it not possible to tell Twitter that it is FRAUD for someone to advertise investment for something that does not exist? |
Companies House
A quick peruse through their Registration docs is ''ntereresting'
Run from a terraced Council house in Chelmsford (nothing wrong with housing for the disadvantaged - just saying). Google Earth shows a bashed up Mk2 Fiesta on the front path. One of the Directors, Gayna, so one assumes female and the Wife of Donald Unsworth, is listed as 'MR' therefore male underneath which it states 'formerly known as Jason Unsworth'. Er - Jason Unsworth is already the 'CEO' (LMAO!) as listed on the Reg. False presentation to Comanies House methinks. I do wonder too if Jason Unsworth actually has a Real Job or is claiming Jobseekers Allowance to which he may not be entitled as CEO of an International Airline. |
Unsworth recently posted an image on one of his Twitter feeds of his daughters passport application, listing his occupation as a DJ :ugh: |
