Hi Adam,

I have been offered a position for the same job you have applied for and like you would like to know more about the company. Have you had any information about them.

I know nothing about this outfit BUT: there have a been a number of scams involving non excisting airlines that were run out of London Box offices.... they wanted you to pay them upfront money for training or visa's etc. Be carefull!! I am not saying this is the case here but be aware..

So call them and ask all the right questions including which aircraft they operate and what the registration is etc.

Have received an email with an "attachment" basically I fill out a form with all my personal details on & I will get £1000 per month!! Sounds so easy!!

There is a contact number, which I've rung & it puts you through to a recorded message which has no connection to the company!!

Very dodgy so don't bother applying!!

'Duel', rather than 'Dual', sounds like pistols at dawn

Duel Plane Charter Services Ltd.

I have received also an Email from them and they send me an attachment with contract and pay conditions etc.saying that they give me the job.., but the way it is all writen in poor quality logos if almost any, plus full of spelling errors and the contract was very simple and unprofessional... I'd say it's a fraud, scam or laundry business...I also could not find any information on the company but a poor free hosted website with nothing else but saying the same as in the email...I don't think its a good idea to take them seriously!!! I for sure wont

I agree with one of the above posts - BE VERY VERY CAREFUL. Unfortunatly there are people in the world that will quite happily take advantage of the vunerable. We all know what it is like after paying for all that flight training and the hard work involved in getting that first job. Some people in the world will see this as an oportunity to SCAM you out of more money etc.

Try giving the CAA a call about this outfit or even HM Revenue and Customs and they may well be able to shed some light if they are a genuine company.

G'day Guys,

Do you in the UK have an 'Office Of Fair Trading', or the like,
to which you could refer this mob and get the 'appropriate' action taken?

Our Fair Trading office here (West OZ) won't stop some people responding, and getting 'stung', but, it may get official action to trace this one and have it well publicised or stopped.

Regards,

Just a thought....

Google Duel PlaneCharter Services (no space between Plane and Charter) and you will come across the name Matthew Duel. Google Matthew Duel and add the results to the previous search and you will see that Mr Duel is hitting hundreds of Jobs sites with the same, badly-written, advert.

If you go to his website - www.duelplanecharter.7p.com - make sure you have a pop-up blocker on your browser (there's nothing there anyway, so no point going).

The key phrase in the post above is "Requirement: Bank Account".
The application form will no doubt ask for all your personal information, including national identity numbers (NI/SS etc). And, of course, they need your bank account details to deposit your pay into, and not to empty it out using the rest of the personal information you've provided.

As a general rule of thumb, any business using a free hotmail.com address for their emails should be ignored.

Hopefully, the local plod will be looking into this operation.

Having read the advert I am amazed that any one is stupid enough to believe that it is anything other than a scam. As for flight crew believing it.... deeply worrying.

I'm not stupid

Hi everyone, I wanted to share this with you as I have come across the same thing. I know the poster above said that he cant believe that anyone could be that stupid to believe it, well I am certainly not stupid, hence why I have found these threads.

I am going to talk you all through my little experience with the famous Matthew Duel.

I actually came across his ad on a well known and respected job portal website, which is rather worrying when you think about it.

He was advertising work from home jobs, which looked all good and well. So I applied, I actually applied for more than one that day but he was the only one who came back to me.

This is the reply I got back a few weeks later.
