I was interviewed for a development job at Amteus in summer ’05 and the moment I stepped into the building it felt ‘weird’.

The product did less than a VPN and was entirely proprietary; apart from secure VoIP I couldn’t see any merit in the IM/Mail/filesharing aspects of it.

The development team seemed to consist of one manager and three techies (two of whom apparently disappeared a week or so after my interview) and I kept getting calls back from my agent about how they were on the verge of securing a several million dollar contract from something to do with the US Gov’t – errrr, the chances of the US Gob’t using crypto software developed overseas….? 😉

Things dragged on for a couple of months – the tech director wanted to make me an offer (quite a good one, at the time), but they were ‘waiting to secure funding’ — Perhaps fortunately afer most of the development team disappeared (I notice the tech director isn’t the guy who interviewed me) my agent called and said they’d frozen recruitment — seems that these days they’re only hiring cold-callers.

The guy in charge of development was a bright bloke with a few good ideas; I’m not sure how rigidly compartmentalised the Morris organisation was – I doubt the techies were directly involved in spamming, but there were other Morris companies in the building…

I have worked within the IT channel for quite some time and Amteus is the biggest lie of all time. Please DO NOT purchase any of there equipment!!! They sold the kit to us as a re-seller, promised the earth and delivered nothing. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

Jeff Morris is a crook! and so are most of his senior management at the media buzz and Amteus plc. ( they are one and the same) run from an office on cardigan lane in leeds.
Andy nicholson is his main dogs body and he is full of crap too.

Do not do business with either firm if you do you will regret it.

Yes, you are probably right. Rumour has it that man Morris together with his henchmen have re-branded yet again. I have to agree that after three years of unsuccessfully trying to give it away to schools FREE that it seems at least a little strange all of a sudden that the gov’t are endorsing it.
If this deal went through I have a feeling it would possibly lead to a ministerial casualty and one never knows – possible prosecution.
I hear that someone is speaking to the financial press about it and im sure will put pay to this individual, Morris, once and for all.
As the saying goes, If you are no good at something then people tend to compensate for their inefficiencies in other ways – suffice to say Morris is no businessman. I will leave it to you to guess how he compensates for it.
Morris should do what he knows best…………………………..NOTHING!!!!!

Jeffrey Morris is a total and utter cunt! DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING HE SAYS..people dont forget things and he should remember that….

I recently ran a campaign with Double Wamey and all I can say is what a load of shite! I didnt get 1 lead and spent over 2k! I shall be in touch with trading standards and watchdog this week!

I worked for a company which did work for WWT Media as they were then. They didn’t pay us and when started digging around, we discovered how their opt-in email scam works. All of their employees there were so pissed off with Morris that a load of them showed them how their scam worked. We got their client list and sure enough, they’d all been scammed by Morris and his sidekick Andrew Bland. We sued them and they got their lawyers to do what they thought was an intimidating response to our claim. Little did they know, their counterclaim only served to highlight some details of their scam that we hadn’t even thought about. When we explained to them that we knew how their scam worked, our lawyer wrote them a letter explaining what we knew. Within weeks, they paid us out of court. Morris is a bully but not as smart as he thinks he is. I’m surprised he hasn’t been in prison for his fraud. I know he got into a bit of bother with some insider trading a few years back in The US but seems to have managed to frighten the British authorities with his overpriced lawyers. And by the way Morris, thanks for your cash. You actually overpaid us in the end. We all had a nice weekend away in Rome on your overpayment.

LOOK FOR THE FACEBOOK GROUP NAMED JEFFREY MORRIS AKA CON ARTIST!!!

I have worked for Jeffrey on and off for 13 years. Let me tell you one thing, and that is he is generous and honest person. I can assure you that he has no intentions WHATSOEVER of not paying any of his employees, in fact quite the contrary. They might have got rid of you because you were employed to do a job and you have proved yourselves to be totally incapable of doing what you were supposed to have done. It could be suggested that people like you no doubt rely on the state and tax payers to keep you, and are not capable of a decent days work. I am glad they sacked you. And as a matter of interest what has religion got to do with anything, I am not jewish and Jeffrey has always looked after me and many other non-jewish staff, you ignorant turd!!

As another former employee I have to say that the opportunities and rewards Mr Morris has offered to all the staff within his various businesses over the last 25 years is unrivalled. I worked for him for a significant period of time and always found him to be driven and motivated and a man who took immense personal delight when seeing his employees performing and being rewarded accordingly, irrespective of their religious beliefs.

Had Mr Morris not wished to have supported his staff i am sure (in fact i am certain) that there are times he could have walked away from numerous ventures, taken the money, and closed the business leaving himself with immense personal wealth.

What i would say to the people moaning is the following: Remember who has paid you for the last, week, month, year or even decade (depending on your length of service) and remember where the money came from.

There are two types of people. The ones that melt in times of adversity and the ones that stand firm and support their business as if it was a family member. My advice would be to stand firm because one thing i can assure you – Morris will be at the top of that tree very very soon and those that treated the business like family will find themselves on a cumfy platform very close to the top of the tree if not at the top with him.

For those of you who opt to take wages AND then spout slanderous lies on this forum – you will be found out in time.

i see that IMJ is back on AIM and that Jeffrey Morris is back as Interim Chief Exec. wonder if he’s paid all those employees that were asking for the pay they had earned?

They say that there is a deal with SSAT, which is surprising and they even have 7 orders! not bad for 3.5m loss last year!!

It would be interesting to know if they actually have a deal and if SSAT have had the wool pulled by this old school spammer, with a string of failed ventures and dodgy deals behind him.

Don’t buy IMJack. Ask why Tanya Byron has parted company with this firm.

check out the blurb in this thread that’s not just more babbling spam.

don’t trust morris or his henchmen.

have a nice day y’all.

Tanya

Das ist gut, ja?

Hi,

Just just been looking round to see whats happened to Mr Morris. I was chatting to a pal of mine over champers the other evening, he told me to check this out….
Just like the chap that says the job seemed like a good deal ( not sure how he gets on with spelling like that )
I too am an ex employee of Mr Morris.
I agree, it’s a good job, also good product, good times to be had. I had a nice little Golf to drive around in fuel paid for, always got paid. Nice food in my exspanding waistline, went to work in fancy suits.
All my customers seemed very happy, making money hand over fist. You see they have to have a good product for this to work. The trick is to find the right customer.
In short, good man Mr Morris I too think this is a cool lot.

I trust Jeffrey and his pals are keeping well.

I am really concerned as i still work for Jeffrey at ImJack but am worried about the immediate future of the business. The company has no funds,and could not afford to buy toilet rolls or soap for the men’s toilets. I know he managed to cobble together some money to pay some of the wages this month, but still hasn’t paid some of the senior tech guys the other half of Octobers salary. From what I am told, they have been asking Jeffrey’s aids (Sasha and Bradley) for updates, but they are just telling untruths. What is really upsetting everyone is that his kids (Joshua and Leah) who are employed through the business are still dressed in their fancy designer clothes, driving nice cars, using expensive Apple computers and iPads whilst everyone else is not being paid what is due, especially some of my ex colleagues that were sacked in October as Sasha never had the funds to pay them their salary – very unfair. They have now been told to deal directly with Bradley Jacobs who we all know to be the most deceitful person you could ever meet, just behind JM, but all Jacobs is doing is lying like he is doing to all the Company’s suppliers who are not being paid. Jeffrey, as a member of your staff, all we ask you to do is to stop your disgusting lies and be honest to people otherwise you will be left with nothing or nobody except those who sponge of you like Sasha, Bradley, Rako and Chaplin.

HAVE A LAUGH AT THIS – I WONDER HOW MUCH THAT SNAKE SPENT ON THIS AND I KNOW WHO IS FRIEND IS THAT SENT THE LETTER – ITS HIM BECAUSE HE HAS NO FRIENDS.

I IMAGINE THE ONLY REASON MORRIS USES THIS LAWYER, WHO EVIDENTLY KNOWS LITTLE ABOUT THE LAW, IS BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL DEAL WITH HIM. MOST HAVE SUED HIM AND HE OWES MONEY TO THE REMAINDER.

Here at Techdirt, unfortunately, we get an average of about one legal threat per month. The threats are almost always frivolous — and often made in anger without the individual realizing why the threats are frivolous. While some sites take the position that they will publish any and all legal threats, we have always tried to give the threatening party the benefit of the doubt, and to recognize that they made their demands in a moment of excess anger and misunderstanding. As such, we generally explain our position as to why any legal action would be a mistake — and in nearly every case, we never hear back from the person who threatened us.

However, we have recently received a legal threat that we feel deserves attention and airing for a variety of reasons.

Unlike most threats, this one came directly from lawyers representing the individual, rather than from the individual directly.
The threats are quite incredible, demanding that we shut down the entire site of Techdirt, due to a comment (or, potentially, comments) that the client did not like.
The lawyer fails to identify, other than a single snippet and a date, what post or specific comments are objectionable and why (beyond a suggestion of anti-semitism, which while despicable, is not illegal). I guess, since they are demanding we shut down the entire site or be sued, such details are not considered pertinent.
As we detail on this site on a somewhat regular basis, sites like ours are protected by Section 230 of the CDA from libel charges against statements made by users of the site. So any legal action against us is entirely pointless.
Most importantly, this threat is coming from the UK, and the lawyers insist that they will take it to court in the UK. This makes it rather timely and newsworthy for an entirely different reason. Just a few weeks ago we wrote about the new SPEECH Act that was passed into law to protect against libel tourism. As the Congressional record shows, the law was specifically designed to protect US businesses from libel judgments that violate Section 230 — and the bill’s backers explicitly call out libel judgments made in the UK. In other words, the SPEECH Act explicitly protects us from exactly the sort of threat that these lawyers and their client are making against us:
The purpose of this provision is to ensure that libel tourists do not attempt to chill speech by suing a third-party interactive computer service, rather than the actual author of the offending statement.

In such circumstances, the service provider would likely take down the allegedly offending material rather than face a lawsuit. Providing immunity removes this unhealthy incentive to take down material under improper pressure.
Separate from the Section 230 defenses, we are also protected due to a lack of personal jurisdiction, which, again, is supported by the recently passed SPEECH Act. It is entirely possible that the lawyers were unaware of the SPEECH Act, but it does seem like a law firm making legal threats in a foreign country should be expected to have researched the legal barriers to making such a claim before using billable hours to make threats they cannot back up.
Finally, it’s important to note that a part of the SPEECH Act allows sites protected under this law to seek attorneys’ fees should they be targeted in such a lawsuit. Rest assured that we would explore the option to the fullest, if need be.
Separately, I will note that on the same day that I received the legal threat letter from this law firm of Addlestone Keane, I also received an email from someone claiming to be both a regular Techdirt reader and a friend of the client, Jeffrey Morris, saying that he was contacting me to ask if I could, out of the kindness of my heart, remove the comments that are bothering Mr. Morris. Of course, the paper threat letter sent by Mr. Morris’ lawyers was sent five days prior to this email from Mr. Morris’ friend. Our policy at Techdirt is that we do not remove comments on such requests, other than comments that we judge to be spam, so we would not have removed the comments, anyway. However, it is odd that Mr. Morris would first have his lawyers pull out the “nuclear option” and demand that we shut down our entire site, and then days later have a friend reach out to make a personal plea.

As such, given the newsworthy nature of an example of where the brand new law (thankfully) protects us, as well as the fact that we do not feel it is decent or right for anyone to demand we shut down our entire site or be sued halfway around the world, because he does not appreciate a comment someone made about him, we are publishing the letter that was sent to us. Thanks in part to the new law, we have no obligation to respond to Mr. Morris, his friend or the lawyers at Addlestone Keane, who (one would hope) will better advise their clients not to pursue such fruitless legal threats in the future. Should Mr. Morris and his solicitors decide that they wish to proceed with such a pointless and wasteful lawsuit against us, which will only serve to cost Mr. Morris significant legal sums with no hope of recovery, we will continue to report on it, safe in the knowledge that it has no bearing on us. The only potential issue I could foresee would be that any UK judgment against us could prevent me from traveling to the UK in the future, which would be unfortunate, as I have quite enjoyed past visits to the UK. But perhaps such ridiculous outcomes will help the UK realize that it’s really about time to update its incredibly outdated libel laws and begin respecting free speech rights.

One of our best selling christmas products for 2010 is the morris voodoo doll. The big attraction is there is a choice of which member of the family you want, in voodoo doll format, and you get one of his oversized drivers for free.

look now on http://www.firebox-ish.co.uk/morrisfamilyvoodoos

Need to get mine so dont buy them all…….

I remember being in the office when Bradley (his partner) told him what was going on with this letter to the yanks. The fat t**t’s head nearly exploded with the news. It really was great to see. He tried frantically to get hold of the solicitor. When he realized he couldn’t lie to the solicitor, he wheeled out good old Michael abraham to deal with it and call techdirt. As a matter of interest, does anyone think we should also protest outside abrahams office in london to try to get our money?

guys, i have had a good look round the net and when you type ‘techdirt jeffrey morris’ into google it returns some nice results that will cheer you up. good reading people!!x

I am sure I sure Jeffrey Morris on a push-bike this morning delivering the post. Could this be the biggest fall from grace of all times?? Little Fat Jeffrey, where has all you’re money gone?

Nadine, I still have your contact details and will let you know when the protest will be. To get max impact we are trying to get anyone he has not paid over the last few years and there are many. So far we are up to 35 people. We will also get the press and notify the police as Morris surrounds himself with “security guards” who get paid for doing nothing. The protest will be peaceful and will take place outside his office and will then move on to his house. All we want is our money and to show everyone what this man is all about. We will not allow any threatening or disruptive behaviour.

I don’t want to give my name on here but I worked with you in telesales. Your back faced my back.

Went to get my car washed this morning in sheepscar and I’m sure Jeff Morris was working there vacuuming the cars. He suited his bright yellow coat. Next time Jeffrey can you please make sure you vacuum down the side of my seats properly or I will have to report you to your boss. Tut tut tut Jeffrey Morris. How does it feel to be pennyless Jeffrey like all those hard working people you sacked on pay day and never paid,you pathetic individual. Remember Jeffrey Morris what goes round comes round and we will all be there watching and laughing at you and you’re spoilt children . You will not get away with what you have done to all those people, we will make sure you don’t profit by 1p from your actions. Merry Christmas Jeffrey Morris and a very very happy new year – NOT!!

Isn’t life funny, and i will tell you why! I worked for Jeffrey Morris at Minorplanet between 2001 – 2003 as a salesman. He used to make all the sales staff come to a sales meeting on a Sunday morning. He insisted we were are all to be in the office for 9am, he would turn up at 11am. I like many others traveled up from the south, and had to leave my wife and kids on a Sunday morning at 5am to be there on time. The reason I mention this is because I can’t but help but have a little laugh to myself especially at this time of the year. Jeffrey Morris used to sing to the salesman who had had a poor week ‘we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new career’. In other words if you have another poor week, you are fired. So my message to Jeffrey Morris is: Jeffrey, life has a habit of coming back to bite people on their arses, and maybe this is now what is now happening to you. You embarrassed and humiliated hard working lads and maybe, just maybe this is life just paying you back, and like me, I am sure there are plenty guys the length and breadth of the country having a good little laugh to themselves, and are hopefully raising a glass to your downfall. And a message to all his innocent victims, keep your heads held high as one thing is for sure, how ever much trouble you are in because of this man, he is in much more trouble. Oh and by the way Jeffrey you’re breath stunk!!

That last post was great but the breath was inaccurate. It was actually his areas that stank only unlike most people Morris’s arse is on his head. I remember all that shit that went on an Minorplanet. He is a sick man with nothing left in his life. We will all move on but that failure will still be telling everyone he is going to be bigger than Microsoft.
How repulsive were those Sunday meetings? My family are a little younger so were not affected by those Sunday morning Morris shows but I feel so sorry for those people who missed out on spending precious time with their young kids, and there were many of them.
I hear he has a son that now works with him who is marginally thicker than him so it’s little wonder he is all but finished.
If he is so protective of his family he ought to respect the families of others.
It’s all too late now, the man is finished, and I only hope he reads these posts and sees what he really stood for. I bet he doesn’t walk around Harrogate anymore like he owns the place.
Anyway, please forward a link to these posts to anyone you may still be in touch with that worked at Minorplanet and let’s give them some enjoyment too.
And here is the new song to the tune we should all sing:

Where’s your money gone
Where’s your money gone
Where’s your money gone
Far far away

Love and peace to you all during this festive season.

KEEP POSTING

Just to let you know that if anyone is still owed money there will be an email address posted on here tomorrow that will allow you to email and be put on the record.
We will then monitor the situation closely and should any debts be outstanding in two weeks then various phone numbers will be publicised.

WATCH THIS SPACE

Jeffrey Morris,

Are you at a financial level where it is ok for your large arsed daughter to speak to normal people or is everyone still below her?

Let us know won’t you,

M. Dancer

I wonder what present santa will be bringing down the chimney at morris mansions this year. Probably a summons from a supplier!! Merry Merry Christmas Jeffrey Morris and to all your greedy family!!

Jefrey Morris,

I don’t agree with all the posts on here coz I think it nawty to kick a helpless fatty when he’s on the floor but I can make an exeption for you u prick.

It’s coming up to Christmas and you have my money for the month I worked and you keep fobbing me off.

Will you be hungry this Christmas and unable to buy the presents you want for close ones

Loser

Keep postin on here and mark all the convos as funny coz it makes them more popular on google.

The Morris advent calendar has been reduced in all retailers since Information about his imminent bankruptcy surfaced. It was originally expected he would close the doors for the last time sometime in January but rumours are rife he will now do it on 23rd or 24th December and not pay any of his staff, a trademark Morris trick.

Get yours today from any good public toilet.

thanks ha:)

What if Jeffey’s management had done a better job of recruiting salesmen that could actually sell?
Those that could did well and brought money in. Those that couldn’t, but said they could, just sat with their mouths open. They need’d ridding and quickly, damage management.
What if when you went out in your cars supplied by Jeffrey you actually got appointments, deals? Gonna see the guys tonight, stroll, talk, have a cuban you know the drill.
Oh mistakes were made, a nats ear from the millionaires club
thats how the days were.
Look, let me tell you some thing I know a handfull of other companies selling the same product, Manchester based, good salesmen, selling it so they are, see? See it? Got it? Get it?
I know, I know, theres a way.

Heres to the zero’s to hero’s.

For all those of you that want to kick this fellow when he is down I feel you should stop and think for a minute. You have all obviously worked for him in the past and most of you will have been paid.
It seems like Morris is now on his last legs and suffering like a whale out of water. I am not able to take any pleasure from this so i have setup the following website to raise some money for him.

http://www.justgiving.co.uk/helptheclampittseatoverchristmas

Please try and give what you can in this, the season of giving and forgiving, and lets try and provide this twerp with enough manure over Christmas so he doesn’t go hungry.

Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas

Jeffrey Morris, I hope you have eaten well this week and been able to put food on your table for your family. I haven’t had that luxury this week. So Jeffrey Morris, when you are sat in your mansion eating cheese and biscuits and sipping fine wines, give yourself a pat on the back and congratulate yourself for your fine work. You are a real credit to your family, I am sure they are so proud of you, that’s if you’ve had the guts to tell them what you have done.

Hi,

I knew of only a hand full of people, amongst the dozens that passed through the doors who could actually sell, they didn’t know what they were selling. They said they could sell, they couldn’t, it was embarrassing. I’m not slating them, no, not at all. They couldn’t sell, wrong job, telesales appointments with product value of a few quid, no good. Rep’s sitting these crazy app’s, no good.
Doesn’t anyone see it? Didn’t anyone notice?
Rep’s spending all day driving to one appointment, crazy cottage buisness appointment’s.

I know they could see it.

Mate, dont despair. Reason you couldnt sell it is because its shit and no one wants it.

Dont lose confidence in yourself

I was told about this listing and had a look. I am not surprised about what I’m reading. Having known him for 30yrs + I don’t want to be pushed on my own opinions or that of some of his family because I still speak to some of them. Whoever is writing these can be happy to know that him, his family and his whole community are reading them. Everyone is telling everyone.I am also told that Jeffrey Morris will spend every last penny to keep this business going and that he is rapidly running out of money. He has borrowed against everything he has and only has one property left that has any equity left in it. It seems like hen will probably not be trading in 2011 because he will run out of money. I’m sorry to tell you all this but you should know because knowing can help you.
I hope he can’t find out who I am. I am doing this annonimously but I have not said anything that is not the truth.

Word be have it of a counter sue.
Afraid be you?
Be very, be you.

Have woken up to the great news this morning that the thick and retarded Morris is now on his last legs. The shares have been suspended BECAUSE HE HAS NO MONEY AND CANT AFFORD TO PAY HIS BILLS.
It will be interesting to see what happens next week when it comes to pay-day but word on the street is that he will promise wages on the first working day after the first round of bank holidays and wont be seen again. I think a sign will go on the front door of that cesspit (any suggestions what the sign may say?) and that snake Morris will go into hiding.
Just shows what a loser that Morris is and what a sad deceitful life he leads

I like the last post because i for one will we toasting this great news tonight. I agree that the snake is a failure and its now all but proven. He has never succeeded at anything apart from lies, deception and, possible (yet to be proven) recurring fraud.
All the people he has screwed and belittled will now be looking at this pathetic failure and quietly laughing whilst he stands in the bitter cold selling counterfeit tat on Briggate from a portable shack. How f*****g funny will that be?
Facts do not lie and for all those that have been released from his sick clutches due to this failure you should count yourselves lucky.

No longer will he be referred to as a “millionaire from Leeds” or “an anonymous Yorkshire millionaire” or indeed a successful entrepeneur, oh no, those days are gone. His legacy will simply be made up of four words:

JEFFREY MORRIS THE FAILURE

When I worked there a few months ago Jeffrey Morris was running round saying this business will never fail and he will show all the doubters that he will NEVER fail. He is the best and IMJack would be his way of proving it to everyone.

The bookies now think the businesses will go to the wall before next friday. I can only imagine how furious that will leave people.

Will someone working there please take a picture of him. I want to see how many more wrinkles he has, how he has ballooned and the fire coming out of his ears.

ive jsut been sacked by geoffrey moris. hes the most urful man you cud ever meat. he will get everything he deserves. but also he is such a cowurd as he cudnt even show his ugly fat head but insted hid and got one of his last remaining lackies to do it. meenwhile he just give a brand knew BMW sports car to someone their who is so lazy, he makes geoffrey moris luck like a hard wurker. i supose it wont really mater from nxt week as the cumpany has no money to carry on.

Newmans best film,
Remember the scene? where are you all now? Remember? No?
Let me remind you, Jeffrey can I have a new car? Jeffrey I need a sub. Jeffrey I know i’m a big shot but I’ve got no petrol money.

where are you?

Last night was the Xmas doo and probably the farewell party as there’s no way he can keep it runing. He really has lost the plot. Harrison is the most stupid man you cud ever meet, and what’s topped it all off is him giving gould a sports car. Morris, you really are clueless and don’t deserve to have a business. Don’t you realise, you have ruined this business just like all the other businneses you’ve had. Yet again you have Failed ( note the capital F).

THAT MAN MORRIS IS A FILTHY ANIMAL LO-LIFE FAILURE PIECE OF DIRT, AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM ON HIS ARSE WITH EVERYONE LAUGHING AT HIM. THE PAIN AND UPSET HE HAS CAUSED PEOPLE IS CRIMINAL, AND I WILL NOT REST TILL I SEE HIM UP IN COURT BEING SENT DOWN. I KNOW MORRIS AND HIS THICK KIDS READ THIS SITE, SO AT LEAST HIS KIDS KNOW HOW HATED HE IS BECAUSE WHAT HE HAS DONE TO PEOPLE. MORRIS, YOU ARE A FAILURE AND THE DAY OF RECKONING IS NOT FAR AWAY.

Good morning
I have recently been alerted to this site, and as I have known Jeff Morris for over 20 years, I truly am shocked to the core as to how he has treated people. Whilst I am aware of his generosity in times gone by, albeit with other peoples money, it does not provide him with a licence to run rough shot over people like he is doing now. One good deed does not permit a bad deed! It is clear to me and the local community here in Leeds and Harrogate that yes, Jeff has indeed failed and ran out of luck and money and is no longer a man to be respected or even considered a stalwart of the local business community. He has clearly bought shame on all those he is associated with such as Michael Abrahams and Geoff Taylor who are good good people. The only bit of advice I can give you Jeffrey is that if you have failed, and it looks like you have, do the right and proper thing and show some honesty and try not to rub people up the wrong way by not paying staff and suppliers whilst putting your daughter in a brand new black Audi TT. It really does make you look even more pathetic by trying to put a show on to people here in Harrogate, as we all know what you are about, and cannot afford it.

of staff who told me all about his recent antics and his poor business dealings. Whilst sharing a bottle of red, we reminded ourselves that it was this location where Jeffrey Morris held his salesman Xmas party. We had a good laugh at him as he really did used to abuse his power and thoroughly enjoyed humiliating us, and in fact did this to me on several occasions. So I, for one is not upset to learn about how he has failed once and for all. Jeffrey, I totally agree with the previous message that putting your daughter in a black Audi TT sports car is impressing none of the lads in Harrogate. Just own up Jeffrey, you are an out and out failure, and i don’t wish you any luck whatsoever. What go’s round has most certainly comes round!

has anyone got any update if the failure has closed the doors for good yet, as the champagne is on ice, and im hoping to celebrate over Christmas? please, somebody give me the good news. cheers!!!

Begining to see a pattern here, see it? Are you reading the above?
Failure? Mmmmm? I remember a conversation late one night took it in. You know, really in. Took it all in. Absorbed it. Thought about it as I drove, sold, as I ate. Stank of it, always stunk of it. Been stinking these past weeks as I’ve worked my christmas bells off. Dealing people, stench coming off me, watch glittering with every hand shake.Had a drink in Leeds the other night with some pals, stank!

New Year, soon, mmmmm? we’ll see.

Merry Christmas.

poopr u ive been waiting on wages since october and obviously ur nt gonna get ur wages he a liar crook and hopefully the fraud office will find stuff in their investigation i made them do so his sorry fat little ass will be in the cold for good

This awful imposter boss of mine truly is a piece of work. I was in the office yesterday, panicking about if I am to get paid this week, and all Jeffrey Morris was doing was laughing with his doctors son, who works here about him going on holiday to Thailand for 4 weeks. He also just gave him a new BMW sports car and also pays for his fuel on a fuel card even though he is office based. This lad, who is harmless, truly is not needed in the business, and is just another example of how jeffrey wastes money. Jeffrey, you need to get a grip and smell the coffee! Listen to the advise it might help you.

More ppl report him the better

The very original letter to Techdirt where it shows the links between WWT & usting we find Jeftel. At the time, we were in the process of suing WWT and the more we probed, the more disgusted we became with him and his operations. He is total scum and I’m glad I opened the debate on Morris and that years later, people are still working to expose his crooked behaviour. Abrahams should be clever than to deal with Morris.

Bye Bye Imjack, bye bye. Looks like the company has only hours to run.

success through screwing ppl ova yeh something to be proud of ha wat goes around comes around

No one likes you Jeffrey Morris. Michael Abrahams and Geoff Taylor regret the day they met you and anyone who has or still does work for you can’t stand you. Everyone in Harrogate is talking about you and I’m told you or your family can’t go many places anymore coz you owe everyone money. What about all the people whose debts you paid off with IMJACK shares. I bet they love you. Everyone you meet in business thinks you are a confused market trader so it looks like you don’t have a lot going for you. Saw your x close pal in Harrogate last week and he said everyone thinks your new found fame as a failure is very very funny. Let’s face it no one likes you.

The curtain is about to come down on this lo life for the final time. What a great finale to ?11mill. Can the last one please turn off the lights.

This is the best Christmas present I could have wished for. Thank you so so so much for this gift from heaven. To hear that the awful little man Jeffrey Morris has failed and is finished is the news we have all been waiting for. Merry merry Christmas Jeffrey Morris, I hope you have a great day and a nice holiday reminiscing over ?11 million. Hahahaha

i will happily do this as well

I work for Jeffrey Morris, and he has told me to warn you that if he finds out who is writing these messages, he will be sending his private security men to put an end to it. Be warned!

I had to laugh when I read the announcement yesterday where it stated ‘The Morris family will prop up the company’, as only a few weeks ago, he had to sell his kids flashy quad-bikes to a guy in Harrogate so he could afford to pay the school fees for his son. Jeffrey, you are so skint, you haven’t even got enough money to prop up your fat belly. Roll on 2011!

PLEASE SETUP AN ACCOUNT AND POST ON THIS SITE AS WE ARE HAVING A MIND-BLOWING EFFECT:

http://www.lse.co.uk/SharePrice.asp?shareprice=IMJ

WE WOULD ALSO LIKE YOU TO POST ON ANY TEACHER OR LEA FORUMS ABOUT YOUR TRUE FEELINGS TOWARDS IMJACK. LOADS OF HEADS HAVE NOT SHOWN ANY FURTHER INTEREST AFTER WHAT THEY HAVE READ ONLINE SO LETS KEEP THIS CAMPAIGN BURNING BRIGHTLY.

I have read the above announcement re “the day”, and you can be assured that a deal like this will not be allowed to progress without close scrutiny. Just because non-exec’s and paid advisers have given Imjack Comms Ltd the nod to proceed, does not mean the deal is bone fide. Quite the contrary! On the face of it, it looks to me that this is a clear breach of insolvency rules where a company is diverting assets from creditors. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered in respect of how this company has been run, and come the beginning of January, I shall be raising questions with the authorities regarding the conduct of these companies, as well as all the previous ones. Lets not forget, he did exactly the same with The Media Buzz, hence why the HMRC are still investigating him. Morris, if only you would have paid your staff!

I have decided to say no more regarding the investigation into Morris’s business behavior for obvious reasons. Let the authorities get on with their work, and I can promise you that he will not be allowed to do what he is trying to do, however clever he THINKS he is, the people investigating him are far cleverer. However, as one of the posts asked yesterday regarding recruiting volunteers to write to headmasters and the SSAT, I volunteer. If Jeffrey Morris thinks for one moment that he is going to shake off this ever increasing movement against him, he can so think again. Morris, we will not rest until you are finished and that is a promise! I wish you and all a happy new year!

Please can everyone post on http://www.edugeek.net/forums/virtual-learning-platforms/53864-imjack.html what Morris has done, and how he is changing the name of the company again. Please advise all contributors on edugeek to make sure they tell the headmaster / deputy/ assistant head in their school. They need to be aware of the shark practices of Morris and his company’s and must not fall for his lies.(Make sure everytime, you add the link to this site). The details for a headmaster / teacher forum will be listed on this site either today or tomorrow. Good luck guys and lets keep up the momentum to make sure the failure wastes another ?11 million.

Jeffrey Morris it’s looks like the noose is tightening around you. With all the people reading this blog and being told by every advisor that isn’t sueing you to pack it in it’s going to be a busy time for the authorities who will be showing a lot of interest in you.
So pathetic are you, you are like a bird with no wings. No Michael Abrahams or Jeff Taylor to help you, they can’t wait to wipe their hands of you. You are on the verge of losing everything and even the people still working for you absolutely hate you. They say when you speak they cringe.
Rumour has it you have been running a business illegally so we are going to ask the authorities to investigate. There are other rumours too that I dare not mention on here. In fact rumors are rife and I hope for your sake they are unfounded.
This us what happens when you use people and knowingly negatively affect their lives. You see that is an evil thing to do and it invokes angry reactions. We don’t ever use violence or lies and when it comes to you there is a wealth of information to use, we feel spoilt.
There is no escaping this time. Can you afford the lawyers bills or will you now qualify for legal aid?

For those of you who think Morris is happy let me assure you he isn’t. He’s usually in Barbados now but he can’t afford it. He can’t even afford to go to Blackpool. He can’t go to Harrogate because everyone is laughing at him and his big shot family nor can he go to Leeds because he doesn’t feel safe. He is stuck in his shack surrounded by a level of security that Obama would be proud of – I wonder why???

if jeffery is reading tis if only ud paid ur staff? fair enugh the business was in the shit why tke ppl on? did u really think ud get a way with it. How thick are you? it astounds me u actually made millions. I dnt want anyone else to go through wat Ive had to too sleepless nights thinkin hw im gonna pay my rent just out of uni i was naive enough to take a job wiv u. ive no symathy for u , uve dne this to hunderds of ppl u deserve to pay thne price and ur children as u hve spoilt them through ill gotten gains and they prob dont knw wat human decency and morals is. to ur brother in law bradley I hate him even mre for thinkin Im stupid and can be fobbed off I have a degree just like u and the smell of con reeks from every hence of u and i cant wait to hear the news of u and jeffs imprisioment and i cant wait to see ur slimey mugs in crt in crt in jan and yes i will get the mny u owe me and as i said to u previously bradley it will be double. To the schools that have had imjack cme in the sales consultants are hard wrking ppl who belive in the product as its actually nt bad itgs the ppl who own it greedynss that has ruined a platform for yng ppl to realise their dreams through inspiration. if there werent so many overpaid hanger ons to the company it wd still be running . no its the ppl who put their heart and soul in to the cmpy that get shit on but hey thats life toi the morris family eh?

Anonymous Coward – I am sorry to hear about what that man has done to you, but you can be rest assured there will be a change of gear next week in highlighting his business antics – BELIEVE ME. We will never let Jeffrey Morris forget what he has done to us, he will regret it for evermore. If he thinks for one moment, he is going to escape what he had done, he really can think again. This time Jeffrey Morris you are going to be called to account as your days of evasion are well and truly over. His big flashy lifestyle will come to an abrupt end for him and his family. All those cars will have to go, and I am sure when his daughters boyfriends family out what Jeffrey Morris has done to so many people, they might have something to say about their relationship.

Jeffrey Morris has started something that is impossible for him to finish. There will only be one huge winner here and the winner will go by the name of Justice.

This dirty scum bag will be taught an important lesson in how NOT to treat people.

Oh, Jeffrey Morris, you are in so much trouble and we are going to revell in watching it play out. In fact you are f****d and there is not a thing you can do about it.

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/virtual-learning-platforms/53864-imjack-3.html#post607405

I have not been on here for a bit, but I am pleased to see that the genie is out of the bottle regarding Jeffrey Morris’s behaviour and business dealings. You can only run for so long and eventually you just run out of look. I for one hope and pray that this man gets caught sooner rather than later coz you can’t go round doing what he has done to people and expect to get away with it scott free. I know for a fact that once the powers that be get there claws into him, they will never give up. They will destroy him regardless of however much money he pays lawyers and advisors. There will only be one winner!

news through the grapevine is that the reason he gave us the whole christmas break off work is because he cannot afford to pay us therefore not having us all there is easier for him.
look like there going to be no wages for us
i hope im wrong or that prick gonna be in a spot of bother.

The grapevine was right. The c**t did not pay us today and if the grapevine is right again looks as though he going personally bankrupt too. Was told he owes millions and the only thing he has is some rotting warehouse he thinks is worth millions more….hmmmm
There are not many people in the world that would treat people like this dog has treated us at christmas time. Now i know how all those people felt that he has done it to over the last few months.
i bet he pays Adam Gould coz he is used to sack everyone. Thats all he has done since arriving five years ago. What a lazy useless fucka. I imagine Morris keeps him there for some motive best known to himself. If anyone knows the reason please let us know.
He hasn’t paid us and that means trouble for him. I will be surprised if anyone other than his thick useless brother in law turns up on the first day back. I will write again about that thick shit of a brother in law but the important thing now is getting paid.
and now a plea direct to jeffrey.

MORRIS YOU LOSER, PAY US FOR OUR WAGES THAT WE HAVE WORKED FOR AND EARNT YOU LIEING THIEF

Hahahahaha. The failure has just paid us into our banks. Looks the pressure from this site has done it’s job. I think I will go back now in January and take his stinkin money. Cheers Jeff the Failure, I am going to enjoy spending the money. Happy new year! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right informer. The pressure did work as he reads this site regularly and must have borrowed the money to pay you. I cant believe how many people are reading this. You are very funny Informer and I think you right to go back in Jan and get as much as you can and I know at least two others who are doing just that. Going to post some great info in the next few days so keep reading folks.
2011 is going to be a great year if your surname isn’t Morris so let’s raise a glass together, look forward and stay focused – the toast is….

BEST TOAST SUGGESTION WINS A PRIZE. ANSWERS ON THIS FORUM.GOOD LUCK

Hold your heads up high everyone. I hear Morris has been going mad by these posts and he is furious that we are allowed to write the truth without being censured.
We are proud of all of you and promise that we will not stop until EVERYONE has been paid for the time they work or until Morris and his business are declared officially bankrupt.
This is likely to be a straight forward process as it has recently been highlighted on another forum (you subscribers know which one i am referring to) all the illegal practices Morris has been involved with. We must stress at this early stage that these illegal practices are currently only alleged illegal practices. It is all very very exciting and we cannot wait.
We promise you that as regards Morris the Failure 2011 is going to be THE YEAR OF JUSTICE.

Happy New Year

That post was very funny informer!!

Don’t know the guy in Bristol but I do know what everyone knpws and thats that Morris is now completely finished. I heard this weekend that he is now using illness as an excuse for his complete failure.

I was talking to an ex friend of his in Harrogate and found out that he apparently thinks he has a case going against a high street bank for 40 million and he is suing them for that amount in the hope they will settle with him for six or seven million. How funny! Oh, he also told me Morris doesn’t speak to any of his old acquaintances anymore because he owes most of them significant sums of money.

Ssshhhhh, don’t tell anyone but I also heard from a reliable source Michael Abrahams cannot wait to sever his association with Morris and following that he will never speak to him again because he has lost all respect for him. Remember, I’m not supposed to have repeated that.

One of the Harrogate boys he lulled into parting with some money said he been fucked by Morris but nothing like the way Morris is going to get fucked by the authorities when they investigate how this slug has been operating. I call him a slug because they leave slimy trails like Morris.

I going to buy him a belated Xmas gift and he likes the best so he’s going to get the finest slug pellets I bought at the great Yorkshire show last summer.

what the fuck just got sent a letter dating 24th 12 /10 from imjack it reads on it the letter is dated 5th i was sacked on the 29th. Following your redundancy from imjack 29th/0ct/10 your entitlement is as follows 1 weekss notice pay 336.53 hoilday pay 168.27. I worked the full month of oct mind I was also in my p45 it says I was paid on 29th 0ct WHAT A FUCKIN JOKE MUST BE RUNNING SCARED AS MY COURT DATE IS DUE NEXT WEEK . HAS NOONE HEARD OF BANK STATEMENTS BIT OBIVOUS TO PROVE THAT U S ARE LYING BASTARDS. has made me laugh all day

So Morris has today begun a new company to accrue some debts and knock some more unsuspecting creditors. This man is a liability to business. In reality he is a complete fraud who does his utmost to try and stay within the letter of the law but unfortunately for him he has stepped out of the boundaries a few times which is what we will be using to nail him, not to mention him confiding in the “wrong people”.
Yorkshire may have experienced a small earthquake last night but they want to brace themselves for the one thats going to hit Jeffrey Morris in the next 3-4 weeks. Tremors will be felt as far as Lombards Head office as well as Barclays Bank HQ…. Its going to be a big one.
Finally we have had confirmation that there is no way in this world that the SSAT will be going anywhere near The Days or Imjack and will begin distancing themselves at the forthcoming BETT event.
Lets face it, we brought down Imjack Secure Ltd, we are close to bringing Morris to justice and we promise you that Imjack PLC will be gone by March.
We are never wrong.
OH, i forgot to mention Did you all know that the main source of Morris’ income is now a car park. We didnt, and neither did the tax man. Suffice to say they now Know 😉

Informer, Morris has lost everything. He is a low life piece of shit who allowed his ego to stick in excess ?10m into a project that was the biggest pile of shite everyone laughed at it.

Facts are facts and here are a few of them:

1) He has no money left and is in negative equity.
2) He is terribly desperate.
3) He has absolutely no clue what he is doing.
4) He has had to sell personal possessions to pay his everyday bills.
5) He has had to sell his holiday home and has now tossd that money off.
6) He cant get a bank account……HAHAHAHAHA
7) He cannot borrow a penny from anyone.
8) He has never maintained a successful business.
9) He owes his one of his drivers in excess of ?10K.
10) He used to have ?40m……HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

and the list goes on…………….and on……………..and on… like

11) He will never ever do business with the SSAT.

MORRIS IS SUCH A SAD SKINT FUCK. HE IS THE LAUGHING STOCK AND IF ONLY HE KNEW WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT OF HIM.

HE ABOUT TO THROW MORE MONEY AT THIS CATASTROPHE AND HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING, HE HAS NO STRATEGY. HE IS LOST WITHOUT SSAT BUT WE MAKING HIM WASTE MORE MONEY BECAUSE HE THINKS IF HE GIVES UP THEN WE HAVE WON.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA……AT THIS RATE WE DONT WANT TO WIN. KEEP THROWING THE MONEY DOWN THE GRID AND HAVE EVERYONE RIDICULING YOU, YOU THICK FAT FAILURE.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There you are, Pac Man, bane of our existence. There’s no power pellets to save you here. We’re coming for you. Run.

You are all baby men. I am full of Sandvich and I am coming for you! Cry some more!

Someone else who you cant but help feel sorry for! It is absolutely terrible what that man Morris does to people!

http://www.e-customer-satisfaction.com/rev/1835/wamey-wamey-com-status:-voluntary-agreement/details.php

Give the man a break – really ? He paid you late and “that’s better than most companies at the moment” !!!?

I don’t know what strange little world you live in but proper companies pay their employees on the day they are supposed to – ALWAYS. And if he can’t pay you when he’s supposed to he doesn’t have a viable business. Full stop.

If you’re typical of the type of person who will speak up for Jeffrey Morris you can enlighten me here. Because I just looked at the latest accounts for ImJack (6 months to 31st March 2010) – a loss of ?1.8 million in the process of generating ?5,692.

So tell me – please – how does the management of an organisation that spends ?320 for every ?1 it earns, can’t pay it’s employees on time, commits insider trading by telling staff members to sell shares in their stock-market listed company and then threatens the people they’ve crapped on – retain the right to employ anyone ?

Go on – tell me.

I suspect the devious Dr Robotnik is behind this. Don’t worry, Sonic, I have taken your case. With my spirit medium assistant and awesome finger-pointing skills, I am confident I can help you.

if they were all so bad get rid after a week not 2 mnths think the law sees nt paying ppl different that may be the way it wrks on evil ole man wrld but doesnt matter cse karma is awesome. How think are u he dnt give fuck bout u u clearly just a number . Tell jeff from me hve fun in prision or just crawl under the hole he cme from

Look Jeffrey is a sick man. We have been told he needs an operation and you are all making it worse for him by writing here. It is wrong of all for doing this. I hate people who just think he owes them money. He gave one of my workmates a new silver BMW sports car and a pay rise 3 weeks ago as he is now managing the office so good luck to him. The only thing I agree with you lot on is Mark Harrison as he is the thickest person I ever met and I’m surprised at Jeffrey for giving him a job. Must be because he is so thick he couldn’t get any other job. Other than Mark you can be sure he knows what he is doing. I start back at work tomorrow and don’t want to get caught out so just remember that Jeffrey Morris is a man of his word!

I am on your’e side here. The authorities I have complained to are not vague, believe me!

Yes, he begged and borrowed to cobble together Decembers salary payments but currently is finding it difficult to find the funds for January. He has drained accounts in London and is desperate to find funding. I feel sorry for Sasha in accounts as he has her doing mad things to juggle cash around. In a message to everyone still here, you need to find another job, coz he really has no money to keep this rubbish going, and changing names means nothing to us.

Jeffrey, just so you are aware, every sponsor on your website is about to receive notification of the scam to get money out of them, and what you told us to say to them, including all the lies. i.e ‘we have 50 schools in your area using the system with 10,000 students on line at any time’. We know now that most days there is no more than 1 person on line (thanks for the info ????). Also, Jeffrey what happened to the BEES product that the salesman got ?3000 for with a guaranteed refund. Well Jeffrey DO NOT worry as we have the details of the schools that were scammed and shall be doing are civic duty to let them know what youve done with the company and their money! Good luck with the 2 new company’s and lets see how much you go BANG for this time!!!

The question is, was the BEES promotion endorsed by the SSAT? I am not sure it was, and am concerned that possibly may have been fabricated. I shall seek clarification from the SSAT and the Department of Education and report back as soon as I have the information to hand. I hope it was an authorised offer by the SSAT otherwise has a fraud been committed? I don’t know! Of course, I’m not saying a fraud has occurred, but would be happy to seek clarification. Fortunately I have copies of the documents of this promotion and will forward to the above.

PLEASE KEEP THIS DATE FREE AS WE WILL BE ARRANGING OUR DEMO TO COINCIDE WITH THIS MEETING. THIS IS A TIME WE CAN BE ABSOLUTELY SURE MORRIS WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL AS OTHER MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS. PLEASE EMAIL faliuremorris@gmail.com FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

I have spoke to the press and they are asking about numbers. Please advise through the email address or on this site if you are coming to protest so I can inform them. I have also notified the SSAT of this demo. Lets see if Morris the Coward turns up surrounded by his ex S.A.S security staff.

The venue is confirmed. It will take place at 1pm on the 21st January 2011 in the general block, HMP Armley, Leeds, West Yorkshire. Inmates Morris and Abrahms shall chair the meeting in their newly furnished en suit accommodation complete with bunk beds and stainless steel wc/ bathroom fittings. They have secured their new home by way of a 8 year mortgage provided by the State.

Mr Pseudonym, a blind desire for revenge is not what we are about but any attempt by you to depict Jeffrey Morris as the victim is deplorable.
Any monies owed by Imjack Secure Communications Ltd will now be sought by perusing Jeffrey Morris personally. We will also be asking numerous questions in regard to his business dealings.
Just to make our position clear it is, or never has been, any intention of ours to affect the livelihoods of anyone but that of Mr Morris who has knowingly stolen from multiple people in his quest to remain in business. This therefore renders Mr Morris a fraud and a thief. As a result of these actions a demonstration is most certainly an appropriate course of action and one we intend to see through. The response rate has been high as is the amount of peoples lives he has affected by his fraudulent actions.
If Mr Morris so believes it is his intention to remunerate the people he owes money too as a result of his actions then it is suggested that he makes his proposal for repayment clear on this site for all to read. We are not looking for
anything other than repayment in full of all those who worked in the full knowledge of Mr Morris that he had no intention of paying them.

Mr Pseudonym,

You are under the absolute misapprehension that I have made all those quoted comments.

I have no clue as to who you are but i can assure you that Mr Morris has upset more than a handful of people of which everyone has their own agenda. Unfortunately I am unable to speak for all those directly or indirectly affected by Morris’ greed.

As for the comment in the previous post which I did write it is believed “with good reason” that Morris is trading insolvent hence if he did the honourable thing and liquidates the PLC he will be both business-less and penniless, and yes, that is my wish.

Morris is an unscrupulous little prick who leaves a trail of victims behind him in whatever he has previously done business-wise. He is not to be trusted and MUST be held accountable. It is evident you are not a victim which renders you unqualified to discuss the stress, aggravation and upset he has heaped onto the lives of many.

For the record – Morris has made NO attempts to reimburse anyone besides for paying off his sons friend which in itself was an act of cowardice. Especially considering he had worked in the business for only eight weeks and was from a wealthy family with no dependants. Morris wanted to avoid confrontation with his family, who he knows socially, so decided to make him the only person he paid.

If this is a way to somehow legitimise Morris’ actions I strongly advise you start a new thread where all the people that respect and look-up to Morris can post.

If you type “techdir” into google the third auto-complete option is “Techdirt Jeffrey Morris” so you can imagine how popular this thread is becoming and we haven’t started yet.

Keep reading as the campaign to seek justice continues at pace.

http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100825/02002110771.shtml

Who is this tosser sticking up for Morris? Is it his delinquent brother in law? Well, who ever you are, I bet you are not owed money by that man. He is a disgrace and deserves everything he has brought on himself. He sacked me in November without pay and has made no effort to pay me. Personally I can’t wait till the protest to see that little man squirm. Also, was he allowed to pay his friends son and not everyone else? Not sure if that was allowed.

That is a wager you would lose. I am owed money by Jeffery Morris, however I am confident he will honour his debt to everyone. I believe the CVA is a step on the road to reimbursement, and a clear effort on the part of Jeffery Morris to pay you.

If I had that kind of money to spare I clearly would not need to work – so your statement is, frankly, nonsense. I would be more than happy to pay you all your wages were it within my power, though I am not sure I could stomach the sanctimony of all the comments on this thread claiming victory in your personal crusade that would no doubt follow.

I am sure, since you call me naive, that you have extensive first-hand experience of all of Jeffery Morris’ business dealings, including the ones you believe are criminal. My faith in our pending reimbursement remains unshaken.

I worked for 7 years as a Civil Engineer, and working in an industry that kills more people ever year than any other industry I can assure you that I’m am well versed in the legalities surrounding ‘Corporate Responsibility’. The only way you could pursue that line of action would be if you could prove that you were employed and that Mr Morris knew he was not going to be able to pay you at the time he employed you. This is going to be near impossible at best.

Either way, that was not the point of my comment. The point of my comment was to draw attention to the fact that people still work at IMJack that rely on that job to pay bills and feed their children, as I’m sure lots of those who were let go did, and it’s in my honest opinion that I believe Mr Morris intends on paying everybody the amounts outstanding.

Yes, you’re correct, I am a developer for IMJack.

Unfortunately I can’t comment on anything Mr Morris may or may not have said, as I have already stated it is my opinion.

It’s also not my place to comment on deals with the SSAT and I will not be drawn into debate on this.

Like I have previously said, I posted on here to remind people that there are still people who are employed by IMJack and that probably the only way anyone is going to get paid is if the company turns itself around and starts to make some money.

It should be quite clear to you that I am at least aware of the issue of the money owed to the employees who were let go at the end of last year. I was in fact alluding to all the other alleged business injustices that you all seem to be aware of. And when I ask for enlightenment I do not mean give me unverified stories.

Pseudonym, whilst it may be convenient for you to dismiss some posts it certainly does not call their credibility into question. Why dont you be specific with the particular injustices you would like to question and lets answer them for you. Actually this will be extremely helpful as it will allow any other doubters to know the true facts of they dont already.

Gary, The Informer is right, you ought to check out Mr Morris before you draw on your own “lucky” experience. If you think the reverse psychology tactic of revealing your identity and defending Morris by way of getting paid then you are wasting your time. If you are still employed by the company (which i suspect you are) then I promise you those that were sacked, having worked, without being paid will NOT be paid their outstanding wages. You however may still get paid.

LETS NOT LET ANY OF THIS DEFLECT FROM THE PROPOSED DEMO WE WILL BE HAVING AT IMJACK OFFICES ON 21st JANUARY. THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE INTENDING TO ATTEND AND FOR ALL THOSE OF YOU ARE UNSURE – YOUR ATTENDANCE WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. THE TIME OF THE DEMO IS TO BE CONFIRMED.

‘If you are still employed by the company (which i suspect you are)’ – well Sherlock I have mentioned in every post above that I am indeed still employed by the company and that I am currently one of the developers of the IMJack platform.

Reverse psychology tactic? I have never posted on this thread before these recent comments. All posts by me are labelled as such.

Clearly you are not as clever as you would like to make out – if you would have read that “old news” thread you would have seen that the fat failure tried to get the thread removed only to have a new thread opened in his honour berating his absolute stupidity. Transpires that Mr Morris asked you smart arse developers to try and track the IP addresses of the posts but when you realised you were helpless you resorted to try and discredit all the previous contributors comments.

May I also ask you how you feel about Imjack’s future software development capability since 80% of your colleagues were sacked?

It is also interesting how you have developed the selfish attitude of protecting your own interests whilst not giving a toss about those of your x-colleagues.

Also interesting that you quote the BEES deal as one of Morris’ strategies to pay people what he owes them without even knowing that the BEES deal was a lie that indeed never existed.

Finally, and I am not 100% certain of this, but I believe all the developers were paid by a separate company to that of the rest of the employees. Just another indication of how devious Mr Morris is.

You will be pleased to know that a certain Ms Byron and a Mr Lilley are pleased to be championing our corner so you can tell the fat failure that things are not looking great for him.

The campaign is going well my friend and the machine will not stop until justice for all is realised.

Oh, Did you forget to list the false accusations? In your own time

False accusations? I think you may be confusing me with a different commenter.

I’m can also assure you that Mr Morris did not ask any member of the development team to try an ‘track’ any IP addresses of anybody posting to this thread. However, I can’t vouch for any body else who is not a developer, you’ll have to ask them unfortunately.

I can tell you that my payslip, and my bank account, received money from the usual source last pay day so I don’t know where you got that information from.

I’m not sure how managing to avoid being made redundant then continuing on with my job is considered being selfish? Would you like me to quit the company in a fit of outrage and put unnecessary stress on my young family just to support your cause? No, I’m doing what you would do if you were still employed by the company, getting on with it.

And currently I feel that IMJacks future development capacity is perfectly adequate, but that you for your concern.

Gaz,

Give it up mate. You are making a complete clown of yourself. Your arguments are naive at best.

Why dont you answer the questions you have been asked rather that attempting to defend a corporate rogue who has wrecked the lives of many for varying reasons.

I am not having a 1-2-1 with you on here. You cant back up anything you say but I will ask you one final time:

1) Please confirm the authenticity of the BEES programme and the endorsement of it by the SSAT.

Im afraid if you are unable to do that, and given that 98% of any revenues were taken using this scheme then I would say it renders the workings fraudulent and is open to action.

Desperate people do desperate things and Morris is a desperate person.

I have read this thread over and over again and please be assured that there are very few false accusations on here -and I mean very few.

Finally Gaz, as we wont be speaking again, allow me to leave you with some genuine advice. You say you have a young family and to that end may i suggest you look for alternative employment to enable you to maintain your ability to provide for them.
Regardless of what you have been told there is no-one in that business who understands what is going on who genuinely believes there is a chance of meeting 10% of the CVA criteria. Please take some time out to digest it and draw your own conclusions but when that business finally and officially fails at the end of April you will find yourself out in the cold and regretting these petty acts of loyalty.

“Garry, youve not got a clue mate. Morris wanted to sack all the developers not so long ago, including boucher and outsource the whole development overseas. He said you were overpaid, useless fruit tea drinking fools and all boucher was interested in was asking him for money for train tickets and pizzas.”

Horse dumpings. Boy, this false accusation spotting is tiring.

Only someone as dense as Morris himself could come out with a comment like this

“Perhaps instead of me questioning particular comments, you and your cronies could tell us the whole story”

Either you are totally thick or you are totally thick.

I have two questions for you and instead of trying to be smart just answer them with a simple yes or no:

1) Did Imjack sack in excess of twenty people at the end of October 2010 without paying them and those people are still awaiting their money?

2) Did the BEES programme ever exist and was it endorsed by the SSAT (I know there are two questions there but the clue is that its the same answer for both of them) ?

Please cut your smart arse crap and answer those two questions.

Lets see if you answer them and if your responses are as quick as when you were sat in the office doing nothing.

Informer, Pseudonym is either Stewart Boucher or Glen. They are the only two developers that are still owed money from October. I was also present when Morris wanted to get rid of Stewart and distinctly remember Morris complaining that he was always bleating and produced very little. Morris said something about having to pay Stewarts council tax. i do however understand why he has buried his head in the sand and prefers not to believe it – i would too.

Glen is a smart fellow who understands the difference between right and wrong and unless I have read him completely inaccurately I cant see him posting on here. He is a good guy who Morris held back from furthering his career when he was accepted for a job with a large mobile operator.

Obviously my guess is that it is Stewart. He uses the name eatenbyfoxes on twitter and on some online forums so he is a frequent post-er.

Gary, are you completely stupid. Why do you think all the employees got transferred to a new business from 4th january?

May i suggest you read the announcements your employers make to the London Stock Exchange before typing such utter nonsense.

Gary you fool. If Morris liquidates at this stage he effectively waves goodbye to ELEVEN MILLION POUNDS +

Thats ?11 000 000.00 +

I have a sneeky suspicion he is hoping that where theres life theres hope.

Thats exactly why he has cut the expensesand sacked 85% of staff ye of zero business acumen.

Another speculative ?60K to chase ELEVEN MILLION POUNDS is a gamble worth taking.

And whilst retards like you accept half wage packets on the back of promises his exposure will probably be more like ?40K.

Grow up

Good night – Im sorry, must go, ive got a life

Garry. You sound like a decent man with an adorable family. Garry I beg you to find another job even if it’s for fewer pounds. You deserve better. You may not think so now, but in time to come you will reflect on this advice and may thank me. I mean you no harm and only success and good health for you and your family, but you will live a life of hell whilst in morris’s employment. The man is ruthless and has no regard nor respect for anyone. Good luck Garry!

I know how you feel, Garry. This Ex Employee fellow combines searing intellectual genius with raw, inescapable sexual magnetism. If he never comes back, I will die of a broken heart.

But at least my corpse will get the money owed by Jeffery Morris, because I know he will pay us back.

Pseudonym, whatever gives you the inclination that all those owed money will be paid when Jeffrey Morris’ legal advisor, a Mr Jacobs, has told each and every person that regrettably they will not get paid and to try and claim from ACAS.He alleviated his responsibility to pay when he transferred everything over to this new business on 4th Jan.

Im sorry but you are either a member of the Morris family or you are just wallowing in the despair of others.

I am not trying to get one over on you but please dont take the piss out of people who have worked and not been paid. What makes it worse is that the only reason they were sacked is because the company could not afford to pay them so why make them work that month.
Whats more I believe Morris told Mr Jacobs this was going to happen at the beginning of October so he had people working there for a month knowing he had no intentions of paying them.

Indefensible.

“Im sorry but you are either a member of the Morris family or you are just wallowing in the despair of others.”

I could even be both, but I am in fact neither. I am simply a concerned individual hoping that all those who are owed money will keep the faith and avoid making threats against others, no matter how subtle.

I reiterate that your claims are shocking, but you have given us absolutely no reason to believe they are true (hearsay and rumour do not count).

It is not my intention to belittle the suffering of others. I am simply tired of someone who, when faced with even the slightest challenge to the validity of his claims – note that I am referring to the claims that Mr Morris has done more than not pay those he owes money to – responds with all the grace of a masturbating chimp.

heres evidence of what a spiteful little twat that man really is I was one of those sacked on that october friday I too was promised I would be paid in full I waited on cheques that were supposely been signed for weeks on end had to deal with that fat little man Jacobs fobbing me off time and tme again saying he was sick of people like me I threaten him with insolvency just before the end of the year he sends me a letter posted on christmas eve dated the 5th November complete with p45 and a fake payslip of what im actually owed if thats not a kick in the teeth i dnt knw what is That man is evil and i really dnt know hw he sleeps at night.

Given the cryptic nature of the salvo in the wind and the ongoing chase now pc man has become involved I think I now ought to let you into a little secret.

I was a friend of the accused and having been told about Techdirt I took a look. I decided to “poke the fire” but on reflection and given the hurt and passion carried by the victims I’m going to cease my campaign.

Some of us have warped senses of humor.

Night night tweetie pie

What a busy forum!

Maria, thank you for your post, it is by a large margin the best written and well-thought out article of the 369 and counting that are on this page. We didn’t speak much when you were here, but I thought highly of you. I hope that you have been able to have some kind of Xmas and are moving on with a new job. I also hope that you do get what you are owed and if I could personally do anything about that, I would. However, I cannot.

I doubt that anyone would make any defense of the silence that does seem to pervade when someone leaves and is subsequently not paid, nor indeed of the act of not paying someone for the time they honestly put into the company. I certainly am not and never have done. Don’t think that the silence is much less deafening for those that remain…it’s part of the culture of the company I have always disliked.

“Ex Employee”, you seem to be the only person actively pursuing this thread. You’re the one organising the demo on the 21st, in any case, so please answer me (and the rest of us) this.

Bad things happen sometimes.

However, the case in point here is…. “is it JM responsible for the bad things that have happened to those posting here”?

There is a distinct and legal difference between *knowing* that you cannot pay someone at the beginning of the month and letting them work for a month unpaid, and *not knowing* at the beginning of the month how you will pay the wage bill, but trying your best through sales and investment to ensure that the money is there. It’s damned difficult to prove culpability of this type. The difference is of utmost importance and I have seen nothing posted here that proves or even implies the first case, other than your word.

You know this, I know you do. You’re an intelligent man, I know that too. (yes, I am certain of your true identity – but I’m not going to reveal my suspicion if you choose to remain cloaked in mystery).

My colleagues and friends were made redundant at the end of October and I feel most heavily how all of them have suffered to a greater or lesser extent. Even though all of them now have jobs and are moving on, I want nothing more than for them to be paid what they are owed, and for the developers, whom (along with one or two others – did you know that?) have not been paid in full for October.

However, what do you hope to achieve? Is the payment of the 20-odd staff who left in October enough for you? Does it end there? Or will you only be happy with the closure of IMJack? The bankruptcy of JM personally? The tarring and feathering of the entire family? I don’t get from you that this is about money, rather that this is about revenge. Is it about revence? Is it?

If you think you feel you are aware of my identity then please call me. I would welcome the opportunity to talk to you.

Allow me to prove to you beyond doubt that Jeffrey Morris did indeed know on 30/09 that (barring a corporate lottery win) he was going to be in no position to honour Octobers wages.

My argument is no different to that of Maria’s or any of the other people who were “used”. Your defence of Jeffrey Morris is an insult to us all but I put it down to naivety. What i mean by that is assuming I am correct in my suspicion as to your identity then there was plenty you were not aware of.

I have been asked to be the voice on here and have no problem with that. In return for that there are others conducting the “behind the scenes” campaign.

i dont however endorse some of the personal jibes. I cant be held responsible for the wrath of others.

Please call anytime.

Putting aside “The Truth”s ill-informed, pointless and tedious interjection…..

“Ex Employee”. I am not defending JM, not the actions of those around him relating to non-payment and silence with ex-employees; I have never approved of either. Nor do I have any illusions whatsoever about how he operates and what he is prepared to do to be successful, but there again I expect nothing else of people who do try to be successful in business. Difference is that I think that trying to make something work and reaping the rewards is more beneficial than complaining and still taking the man’s money (that’s more for those claiming to still be working and yet posting on this thread, rather than a comment to you, you understand).

My question to you was and remains “what do you hope to achieve?”. You have been silent on this point. Any answer?

Zorro
*boink*

“My question to you was and remains “what do you hope to achieve?”. You have been silent on this point. Any answer?”

Let me answer you genuinely and honestly.

Without exception the ideal scenario would be that we are all paid what we are owed and that would mean closure.

However no steps have been taken by Morris to make any kind of resolution and to the contrary the announcement on 24/12 is beyond doubt a tactic to ensure relief of his liability to pay those debts.

In terms of what we hope to achieve.

It transpires that Morris had told various people differing tales about what their futures and the future of the business held. He lulled some people into a false sense of security whilst blatantly lying to others. To that end it would be justice of sorts to see Jeffrey Morris held to account and this is what we would like to achieve. Admittedly a distant second place to being remunerated however a justice or sorts.

As this has become rather civil may I ask you a question please, one you seem to be evading answering:

You clearly appreciate that people worked for up to four weeks without being paid and I am sure you can imagine the suffering they and their loved ones encountered as a result.

If you are posting because you dont like the comments about his daughters awful attitude or the post about her false breasts or other personal issues then I would understand and I dare say agree but please dont continue to defend the wages scenario.

I speak for myself but am in contact either directly or indirectly with everyone (bar 2) of the people morris has sacked without pay since October.

i used 2 work for jeffrey n ill say that it was pretty enjoyable.

everyone there was friendly n we had some laffs
(winding up victor ha)

Dont get me wrong tho, i am also owed money but if the man cant pay it then he cant pay it.

if u owed someone money n they kept callin u a cunt then ur not gonna feel lke payin them r u.

hopefully Im jack will take of n weil be sorted.

if not…shit happens, and im sure that not getin paid by jeffrey isnt the worst thing that could happen in ur lifetime

Hi Danny,

Were you one of the few that were paid by the business but worked at Jeffrey Morris’s private residence because there was no “Danny T” working there.

Good try though mate.

Garry,

If you are so interested in the wellbeing and future stability of the company why dont you voice your opinion concerning all the people payed by the business but in actual fact do nothing for the business and undertake personal work for Jeffrey Morris.

I respect your loyalty but it is naive as you honestly do not know the half of it. Why dont you do a little research, you wont learn a lot, but what you will do is hopefully realise that there is plenty credence in our accusations.

Good luck.

BTW, for what it’s worth, “Pathetic”. I can back up Garry’s comments that there have been two different “Danny T”s working here at one time or another. One still works here and one (who posted above) no longer does. Your lack of research does your credibility no favors.

Thikko Morris has had a eureka moment more commonly known as a brainwave and guess what, its possibly the most brainless one he has had to date, a real indication of how fucking retarded he is. What he doesn’t realise even after 5 failures he still wants to repackage and rebrand shit.

Take a look at this http://www.beesinaction.com

The only bee in action is the one thats about to sting the cunt Morris. Lets hope he doesn’t have an anaphylactic shock.

The funny thing is that his business cannot even afford to buy the domain and has had to get Mark Harrison to buy it in his name. Hysterical because its only about ?10.00. Check this for the proof – http://whois.domaintools.com/beesinaction.com

Morris is now officially the laughing stock of Leeds and Harrogate so much so that Techdirt is now one of the most popular visited sites in Yorkshire. Oh how lovely it is to see Saddam Morris fall.

He has also tried to deluge the internet with this BEES shite so things like techdirt become unnoticeable.

I know there is now a large following reading this so please believe me when I tell you that it will not be long before the true extent of Morris’s financial disabilities become public due to bankruptcy.

> I ask only that people don’t forget that there are more
> people out there than those posting on this forum that are

No-one is laughing at anyone being owed money. Allow me to re-iterate *again* that no-one remaining with the company is happy about staff (former and ex) being owed. Can we please get over this?

What we *are* having a moment of gentle play with, is this kind of bullshit:

“Ex Employee” said on Jan 14th (apparently whilst having some difficulty with his keyboard): “LETS NOT LET ANY OF THIS DEFLECT FROM THE PROPOSED DEMO WE WILL BE HAVING AT IMJACK OFFICES ON 21st JANUARY. THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE INTENDING TO ATTEND AND FOR ALL THOSE OF YOU ARE UNSURE – YOUR ATTENDANCE WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. THE TIME OF THE DEMO IS TO BE CONFIRMED.“

“The Informer” said on Jan 19th: “Having sought legal advice could I please recommend that anyone with any current or impending legal cases against either IMjack or Jeffery Low Life Morris MUST NOT attend any demonstration and must not be in a position where they are physically close to any directors of the business.“

Bearing in mind that “Ex-Employee” has also said “I speak for myself but am in contact either directly or indirectly with everyone (bar 2) of the people morris has sacked without pay since October.” (a statement, BTW, which we know to be complete and utter bollocks, since none of the developers who left are aware of any communication).

Presumably “Ex-Employee” and “The Informer” are therefore in communication, but perhaps “Ex-Employee” forgot to notify “The Informer” of the protest and subsequent due diligence showed up this vital “legal advice”? Phew; that’s lucky.

Actually, no hang on just one moment. “Legal advice”, huh? I took the time last night to chat with a good friend of mine, who is a lawyer. He told me that there is no reason whatsoever why someone involved in an Employee Tribunal/Dispute case shouldn’t be involved in a protest against the employer in the meantime, unless of course they set about someone with a baseball bat, which, of course, is really another issue.

Translation – the “legal advice” story is horseshit.

Conclusion – there was never going to be a protest. The statement was one made for effect only, presumably to continue to paint JM as the nastiest person in Yorkshire, nay the North, nay the World, since Nasty McNasty graduated with a double first from Nasty University ?

Get your facts straight; get your plans in order and you will have our respect. Post something that is plainly bullshit or contradicated by you elsewhere in the forum and expect to be ridiculed. Voila, the google protest map.

Prove us wrong; it’s still early in the day, I’m sure you can get here for mid-afternoon.

Just watch out for the Daleks.

Zorro

Zorro,

I cannot answer your question. I should add that the majority will be in a similar situation to myself. Perhaps if you direct your question to specific people, or in response to a specific post you will have more luck than just throwing it out in a manner which suggests that it may be rhetorical.

Both “sides” (a term which I am uncomfortable with but one which most accurately sums up the way in which certain posters have formed distinct opposition parties) are guilty of providing ‘information’ which cannot then be backed up. Whether that be that Morris is involved in some other illegal activity, or that he intends to pay those that have been laid off.

There have been a few people putting forward examples of how JM has been good to them, despite not being a family member or friend, but then all that leads to is others asking, why has he not done that for me? Other than these random acts of generosity what evidence do you have to back up your claims that he intends to pay everyone? Whilst with the company I once asked Jeffrey if he intended to pay the staff that had left or even to contact them. That was a Monday. He promised that on the Thursday of that week, following a meeting, a letter would be sent out to all ex-employees detailing the situation. That never happened. In fact over a month later the only correspondence these people had received was a false pay slip and a P45.

Not long after I disclosed that I was still friends with some of those that were sacked my emails, and two other girls’, were being read. I am not alluding to any definite conclusion here, but merely highlighting that the office policy strongly discourages open and free discussion with people that have been sacked. A policy of secrecy is not usually a sign of an all round good egg.

If someone in particular says something stupid, then by all means ridicule that person. Try not to post anything derogatory which generalises and encourages the great divide. I agree that posting promises of information later to be disclosed is pointless. I also agree that stupid maps do not add anything to what should be a rounded and reasonable discussion on the ethics of a company.

So, here are my specific questions, and I put them to Zorro:

Why has the company chosen to avoid any legal liability to ex-employees if it fully intends to pay their wages anyway?

Why have ex-employees not been contacted to state the intent to pay, also including the amount that they are owed? This would be acceptable even if it could not provide specific time lines.

How do you feel that the threats regarding posting online sit with your idea of IMJack as an ethical and reasonable employer?

Please provide a logical explanation with each response. I would also be extremely grateful if you could at some point let me know who you are in private. Several employees still with IM Jack have my phone number.

Maria

Hello Maria,

> Why has the company chosen to avoid any legal liability
> to ex-employees if it fully intends to pay their wages
> anyway?

I am not a director of the company and so I cannot present an official answer to this.

The avoidence of legal liability you refer to is, I presume, that the company has suspended its shares and attempted a CVA with creditors? If that is the case, the suspension is a legal act that the company was not able to avoid (imposed by the Stock Exchange) – having no cash – and the CVA is an attempt to resolve the situation, meaning that all creditors, including ex-employees, get paid.

I understand that the CVA allows the company to continue to trade and pay current staff in the meantime. This is cold comfort I know, but without this action, the company would have just folded and there would be no chance of anyone getting any money. (unless you believe the comments about fraudulent activity, which I don’t know anything about, but that I am certain would be hard to prove, take for ever to resolve and in any case would result in no money for the likes of you and me…so they are not really relevant to us).

> Why have ex-employees not been contacted to state the

> provide specific time lines.

I am not a director of the company and so I cannot present an official answer to this.

Speaking personally, I agree completely with you that such a communication would be more than appropriate and the morally correct path to take. Were I in charge, this would have been the first thing I did.

TBH, I understood that the letter sent out just before Xmas was supposed to cover these matters, although what I have read here indicates that maybe this was not the case, which I find most disappointing.

> How do you feel that the threats regarding posting online
> sit with your idea of IMJack as an ethical and reasonable
> employer?

Could you please explain the nature of these threats, as I am not aware of any posted by IMJ, JM or those purporting to represent him on this forum. I am aware of the legal letter sent to techdirt, which, for the record is horseshit and something I most strongly advised against knowing exactly how that would go down with techdirt. Alas, we cannot always expect that anyone will listen to sound advice.

However, I don’t think you mean the legal letter.

If you are referring to any verbal comments made to you, I am not aware of those.

I would like to add that the reason myself and some of my colleagues became involved with this forum was because we became completely fed up with the hateful, unpleasant posting taking place, attempting to take down the company we still rely on for paying *our* mortgages, food and christmas presents.

We wanted to add some balance and take those with hate in their hearts to task. Along the way, we may have sometimes been too playful with our comments (and maps), not intending to wound, but instead to draw attention to ridiculous-ness of some of the things said on the other “side”. However, we are geeks and freaks; this is how we are in person and how we are online and we make no apology for this.

Maria, I do not believe that especially you nor to a lesser extent those let go at the same time as you deserved to go.

Some others who post here, I do not offer the same empathy for – you who were hangers-on, wasters of time and vampires. You should be paid for the time you gave, useless as it was, but you deserve bad karma and I trust you will find it.

Yet another new company is now operating from 57 Cardigan Lane – ‘Bright Networks’. The Bright Networks have created the website called ‘beesinaction.com’. It is very strange why Morris has decided to keep his name off the Directors register of this company and put up fall guys. Maybe they should speak to Andy Booth and get his opinion on this type of transaction. (They won’t sleep for weeks). Anyway, what Morris is attempting to do, is what he has been trying for years, and that is to collect email details then spam people again, but only this time he is changing his position and going for unassuming parents whom have kids at school. He will then try to get the imjack product into the school via the back door. Lets face it, most of those sponsors on the imjack site are either not real or were told complete lies. I know this as I sat on his stinkin phones doing it! Also, it is very strange why he has called the site ‘beesinaction’. Could it be because telesales and salesman were told to go and sell a product to schools that was called the ‘bees’ programme sponsored by the SSAT? The odd thing about it, is that the SSAT had no knowledge whatsover of the BEES programme. (Give then a call and they will confirm this). In my opinion, the reason whay he has called his new product ‘bees’ is an attempt to overcome the trouble he has caused himself with the SSAT. Anyway, please let any school that you are in contact with aware of this product, and as per usual please direct them to this site. In the meantime, another letter has been sent to Michael Goves about Morris and his attack on schools.

Thank you Zorro for your response, it is much appreciated. The avoidance of liability I was referring to stems from this line in the CVA ?

“As from the 1st January 2011 the Company’s employees along with their employment liabilities will be transferred to a new company owned by the Morris family (“Newco”).”

I am under the impression that this would allow for the company I was employed by, which I believe was called Amteus, to be ignored and never receive a share of profits gained in any recovery made by the business as a whole. Whilst Newco may become very successful, Amteus can still go in to liquidation should that be the chosen course of action. All of the current employees have been moved across to Newco, however I have received no indication that any ex-employees are in the same boat.

If you have any information which would suggest the above is incorrect then I would be very pleased to hear it. I wish to assert again that neither myself, nor quite a few others that I am in contact with, have any desire for the company to go bust. We are merely concerned with being fairly treated, and would love to see some transparency.

The threats I was speaking of were verbal, and particularly harsh as they were administered during our dismissal. We had previously had our work emails monitored, which is not in itself the worst scenario ever, but the ridiculous suggestion that ‘cyber-investigators’ could not only discern our identities but then also Jeffrey could spread the word around his business associates and ensure that finding employment would be difficult for us. Fortunately my decision to share my name made scrambling my IP address unnecessary. Phew!

I hold absolutely no grudge at all against any of the employees that have no influence over policy. In fact mostly I am just a little sad that I didn’t get to know a lot of the people better.

Anyway with all this talk of karma and general internet banter I’m off to take out my frustration on reddit.

Maria.

This is what you are up against if you sue Morris – an incompetent lawyer who doesn’t keep updated with the law.

Amazing how Addelstone is prostituting himself to Morris to the detriment of his own career and more importantly reputation. Everyone in Leeds saying how they will NEVER use Addelstone again.

As long as you keep getting your ?1500 per week and you can thank Bradley Jacobs for telling us that last week 😉

As another ex-employee of one of Jeffrey’s companies, its really interesting reading the comments and certainly the vitriol directed at Jeffrey has gone up a few notches since I last read this thread. Whilst I dont agree with comments made about his son, daughter or any other member of his family, (there have been some direct and indirect comments made about them and the understandable, albeit incredibly unprofessional, favouritism showed them in the workplace) I do agree with the majority of comments made about him and his general demeanour and style of communication, though.

I can only talk from my perspective offering some insight into both the environment when I was there and things I personally heard (words spoken by him or his inner circle). Things I know to be true:

1. Jeffrey paid high achieving staff incredibly well (however, unscrupuloous as he was, he didnt care that the products seriously underachieved on their promises and had contracts incorporating ‘cast-iron’ clauses tantamount to unfair trading). Lets face it though, he’s not on his own here and in truth came across as a business savvy yet ruthless individual.
2. The products were always technology based and ground-breaking at the time. Everyone associated with them were often in awe of their potential and every client we pitched to, particularly early on, was impressed by the overall presentation/packaging. I, however, could name at least 15 people that, whilst they loved to sell this product, knew that they were cheating people and jeffrey did not care an iota. Again, bad practise, but not criminal.
3.He did enforce Sunday meetings

Ok, thats the positive bits covered. Now without being emotional, here are the other things I know to be true:

1. Jeffrey has little or no respect for his workforce and running an ethical, well structured, intelligent infrastructure never happened whilst I was there (I worked for him for many years)
2.I saw many talented, dynamic individuals join his company only to leave within days wondering what in the hell they had come into. These individuals having gone on to very successful careers in other technology businesses where they experience the best training, support and work in safe and ethical environments.
3. By the same token, I saw many individuals careers wain because they remained at the company and some are in such serious financial difficulty now (caused by Jeffrey not paying their salaries) that it will take them years to recover.
4. On a slightly more serious note (and take this as you will as often these comments were made in jest but still made everyone uncomfortable), I was present, as many others were, when comments were made both by Jeffrey and his senior management to not sell to the Asian community (theyre liars and they dont pay apparently). Those of you reading this and have worked for him KNOW this to be true.
5. He laid off/sacked staff knowing full well that he wasnt going to pay them and then sent out payslips without actually paying people: pre-meditated and still happening if I’m to believe the comments above. That’s an opinion by the way so, of course, I cant prove the whole thing was planned but even the more sensible of those commenting above know that the whole thing stinks.

Finally, I personally know and am still in contact with at least 15 people that would, if it really meant that Jeffrey would be stopped in his tracks, put pen to paper and corroborate all of the above (all of which have worked for Jeffrey in the last ten years). It’ll never be necessary and they just cant be bothered (in fact 3 of them are asking me why I’m even bothering writing this). There seems to be a handful of people above (Maria, ex-employee, Zorro, Garry, etc) that have great arguments and opinions: all heartfelt and all ring true to me. Maria in particular I feel for in that she seems like a professional and honest girl.

Well, for all you “Marias’ still working for or planning to work for Wamey or Jeffrey in any capacity, heres’ the truth:

1. You’ll NEVER get real training
2. You’ll never feel secure in your job
3. You may never receive a salary
4. You may be insulted by your boss at every turn and threatened with the sack week on week
5. You may even be unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of racial slurs

I wish Jeffrey no harm by any of this as he is who he is and he’s been very successful but the facts can’t be denied can they?

“Finally, I personally know and am still in contact with at least 15 people that would, if it really meant that Jeffrey would be stopped in his tracks, put pen to paper and corroborate all of the above (all of which have worked for Jeffrey in the last ten years)”

Only 15? I feel confident I could more than double that although I would cheat as mine would include 2 or 3 who are still there 😉

I also agree that the family comments are uncalled for nor did I ever hear him urge caution when dealing with Asians.

If I remember rightly, they didnt use the term “asian’ either, however, something significantly more unacceptable…

Dear Techdirt,

Any chance of adding paging?

Zorro

Eh Zorro,

Why dont you think about the 40 employees that worked for up to a month and then got sacked without pay instead of worrying about yourself.

There are only three people in that business worth their salt and you are not one of them. Those three will get a job anywhere in far better conditions than they are working under in that shit tip. Suffice to say you are not one of the 3.

That BEES con will soon, along with Morris the Failure, be brought to its knees.

This Zorrow bloke must be stupid. He really has no idea about Morris and his business antics. He has fallen for Morris’s shit good and proper. Im sure in time he will reflect on this episode and realise what a silly man he has been. Zorrow, I never got paid by Morris. He kept me working there then got rid of me on pay day. Lets see how you feel in April when he has had you working there all month then says cheerio on the last day. I wonder if you’ll be licking his back-side then!

Great News!

IMJack is rebranding to BEES In Action.

All the features and how you access the site will remain the same. What you will see over the coming weeks is a gradual rebranding starting with my email address which will change to adam.gould@beesinaction.com .This will be followed by a change to the graphic User Interface (GUI) of IMJack to BEES with the final stage being the rebranding of all support material and documentation.

BEES stands for Business for Education Email Scheme and is a great new way for schools to raise much need funds.
LOOKS LIKE HE REALLY WANTS TO PAY ALL THE PEOPLE HE HAS STOLEN FROM. MIGRATING TO ANOTHER BUSINESS AND REBRANDING HIGHLIGHT HIS INTENTIONS.

NOW FOR THE REAL JOKE. THIS LETTER IS HAVING THE PISS RIPPED OUT OF IT ONLINE. I THINK WE HAVE DONE OUR JOB.

THANKS FOR THE LETTER ………. DONT WORRY, I WILL NEVER REVEAL YOUR IDENTY.

ANYWAY THIS IS THE LETTER THAT HAS BEEN CIRCULATING:

How BEES works:
? Parents receive an email or letter from your school inviting them to join the BEES fundraising mailing list
? BEES venture out and gather exclusive offers from businesses
? BEES deliver offer emails to the parents on behalf of your school
? Your school receives a pot of money for every offer sent to your parents
? No administration need from your school

The Benefits:
? Parents save money on exclusive local and national deals
? Your school raises thousands of pounds in funds every year

The Potential
A typical school with 2000 subscribed contacts (parents/guardians family and friends) should raise ?9,600 per year of additional funding by sending one voucher offer per week.

We intend to dispatch one offer per day. We will never send parents more than one offer per day.

The more people associated with your school the more money you will generate. Family and friends of the parents/guardians can also join to receive the vouchers increasing your potential earnings.

I have attached a presentation of how BEES in action works, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and wish to proceed. Kindly forward the email to other relevant members of staff.

Kind Regards

BEES: Businesses for Education Email Scheme (21)

I have never seen such shit in my life. Now i see what you meen Zorro when you refer to the hard work you have undertaken to get BEES in Action…….NOT!!!

Also why has Morris called it BEES when he called the shit he was trying to peddle to school BEES? Something stinks here! What’s the piece of work trying to hide? I have an official BEES document that he handed out to us showing the endorsement from the SSAT so why call this BEESINACTION. He is clearly up to no good! Let’s get to work and find out and ad usual publish our findings on here for EVERYONE to see and have a good old laugh.

Hola,

I see that we have decended once again into tomfoolery and nonsense.

“The enforcer”, “Ex Employee”,
May I say how pleased I am that you fine gentles are able to find time to share your considered and thoughtful comments whilst still holding down your high-pressured jobs, which you have doubtless acquired since leaving IM – it having been nigh on 3-months now.

Surely you have new jobs? After all you have placed yourselves as fit to pass judgement on the career prospects of others and presumably you are therefore better (and thus more employable)?

Us pitiful few who remain are working as busy bees (pun intended) to make a success of this, which allows IM to be properly funded, which allows you (who have not been paid) to be paid.

Our risk is that we may not get paid from month-to-month. We acknowledge and accept this, even as we don’t want it to happen, because otherwise we would be here no more.

Why would you want to stop us in our endevours – we are trying to help ourselves and you at the same time. Whatever you think of JM, bringing down this company will only hurt us and you.

Why the hate? Why the aggression? Surely, only for revenge?

Zorro
— the blackness in the hearts of men

Zorro and pseudonym,

I wonder if you might be able to clear a few things up. Firstly can I just say that I think the BEES in action scheme is a great idea. I believe it may be a little too late, but it definitely has the potential to be a great success.

I am just wondering what has happened to those schools on the previous deals? Particularly those schools which were promised a full refund of their ?2,400 SLA fee, but also those schools which signed up under the “Big Society” project. As there are no longer any staff chasing sponsorship from local businesses will all of the schools automatically become part of the new BEES in action scheme? If they wish to remain with the deal which they signed up to will that contract be honoured?

I must say that whilst with the company I was extremely concerned that these ‘guarantees’ we were making to schools seemed unfeasible given the fact that company could not even afford keep it’s staff. I was under the impression, and this was merely an educated guess, that the company was asking for the money up front from schools with the promise of a refund in order to create the illusion of a healthier balance sheet to inflate share prices in an effort to gain the backing of the SSAT.

From my view point, given the subsequent events, I simply cannot see how IM Jack can possibly hope to honour these agreements. In fact during my time there as an employee I was painfully aware that the company appeared to be gambling with tax-payer money on a bet with terrible odds. I am not saying that my perception is accurate, I can only state my opinion, albeit one based on educated reasoning.

I apologise for this turning in to yet another mini-essay, but, to summarise, my questions are these:

Will Im Jack honour the contracts already signed and paid for Secondary schools across the country?

How concrete are these new promises from the company? I realise that schools have nothing to lose in the new BEES scheme, but will businesses receive any guarantees on the numbers of legitimate email addresses they will have their vouchers mailed out to?

I suppose I am also a little curious that if the original contracts with schools cannot be honoured will they be treated with the same deafening silence as ex-employess?

Maria.

Zorro,

There is no-one but you and Morris that is reading it for any other reason than to laugh at the sensational demise and failings of the low life. For that reason any attempts to belittle me or any other honest and accurate posts on this thread are at best, futile, but most certainly do add to the entertainment.

If you honestly think that people are reading this site then subscribing in some way to the Bees In Action site then I suggest you seek medical assistance. It is seriously worrying that you have been brainwashed to a concerning degree.

Let me guess have some people read the posts and due to Jeffrey Morris’ dire financial situation offered to lend him money you misfit.

I think we can safely say that you have done a great job in discrediting yourself so I will not continue but by all means, dont stop – it is entertaining.

Hello Maria,

Nice to hear from you again amongst the self-perpetuating hatred from “Ex Employee” and “The informer” (who can’t even spell, let alone make sense).

I hope that you’ve managed to get another job and that things are going well for you.

We all appreciate your comments and thoughts, a couple are very pertinent and accurate, but let me answer your questions.

> Will Im Jack honour the contracts already signed and paid
> for Secondary schools across the country?

AFAIK that is the whole point of BEES; to allow the company to continue to trade, honoring all contract past and present, including ex-employees. It is certainly a matter of fact that if IM/BEES doesn’t make it through then the contracts can’t be honored as there will be no entity to honor them. Another thing that EE/ti seem to have forgotten in their lust for revenge.

> How concrete are these new promises from the company? I
> realise that schools have nothing to lose in the new BEES

It is quite clear that schools cannot lose out. As far as businesses are concerned; the development team have made sure that built into the product is an accurate report of the number of email addresses that a voucher is mailed to, along with bounce rates, delivery rates and voucher downloads – in order to avoid the shenanigans that I understand may have taken place in the past.

I would hope that this isn’t the case and if I have any power over it all, personally, then it won’t be.

I wish I could guarantee all of this, however I cannot. What I guarantee is that I will do everything I can to turn this company into a genuine company that behaves honorably.

EE/ti – before you get on your high horse talking about me being bought our with shares and promises, or possibly the old chestnut of being “naive”, let me share this with the forum.

1. I know that both of you received their share options, took ’em and signed up for them; at the same time that you claim – on this forum – that JM was willfully employing people knowing he couldn’t pay them. Are you ashamed? Do your “30” contacts know about this?

2. I have *never* bought into the wild promises sold to me by JM. Clearly you did. Perhaps I am just more cynical than you, or perhaps more realistic.

3. I know what I am involved with as does everyone else remaining here. My – *our* – sole interest is in making sure that *all* the existing staff get paid month-by-month and that we grow our business, allowing us to pay ex-staff, honor contracts and behave honorably moving forward. If I though that was not possible, even now, I would walk away and move on with my life. Why do you hate us all for that effort? Please explain?

Zorro
— all the best

Zorro, who feeds you with you’re information? Please advise the forum about the share options you claim I received as I have never received any share options. More lies you have been told. And what makes it worse is that you believed Morris and repeated it on here for all to see how stupid you are.
Do you honestly believe Morris will honour his contracts when all through his business career he has never done so. Why do you think he has employed Bradley Jacobs for the past 15 years? It’s not been to pay people. You must realise that there is a serious credibility issue here and that’s why nobody will transact business with Jeffrey Morris. Furthermore, why on the website does it say ‘schools joining this week’? You are claiming that is acceptable, when the schools know nothing about it! Yet again you are demonstrating your ignorance and stupidity. Morris is a desperate man and is being shown up for it, so I understand why he is getting you to write on here, but please don’t make a fool of yourself!

Oh, alright. Hands up. I did it. I did it all. I am personally responsible for all the bad things that have ever happened. Well done, “Ex Employee”, your quest for truth, justice and a pair of red underpants to wear under your blue jumpsuit is over.

“I will do everything I can to turn this company into a genuine company that behaves honourably”

I am on record – on this forum – as saying that I am unhappy that ex staff are unpaid and that there is no communication with them. That is not a very honourable action. I don’t hide it and I’ve never said anything else.

So, once again, well done, you’ve “outed” me for saying something that I’ve said before.

Perhaps you can add this to your file of “evidence” against JM; no doubt the “authorities” will give it the same credence as the rest of the soiled tissue paper you no doubt already have within the file.

Zorro
— good weekend

I just wanted to let everyone know that I received a P45 today along with a pay slip detailing money which I have never received. I should add that the “Paid by” section has been scored out.

I am owed exactly ?1,379.65. I believe the majority of people reading this thread are doing so to keep informed. In the interest of transparency I would love to see a breakdown of the amounts that the company owes on here, alongside a realistic projection of income over the coming months with details of the rate at which the company intends to repay it’s debts/invest in further growth.

If I was holding the purse strings for a secondary school, absolute transparency would be required to gain my trust. Is this a policy we can reasonably expect to see from the company? And if not then why not?

Maria.

Apologies for that post coming through twice. Not really sure how that happened.

I’m asking if we can have some transparency. I think that’s quite a straightforward request. It’s followed with a “why not?” to pre-empt the answer I’m expecting.

I’m not sure how you can possibly know the readership of this site. Also as the self-appointed voice for ex-employees I do not recall you ever asking the few I know what exactly they wish to say.

I am attempting to gather as much information as I possibly can before I decide what ‘it’ is that I’m supposed to ‘get’. Perhaps a more factual approach from you would be more helpful for any future customers reading this and trying to make a decision on whether or not to become involved with IM Jack.

My concern is with honesty, transparency and accountability. I want this thread to be high on a google search to spread the facts and keep people informed. If I get paid I will post that information on here too. No agendas, because really, what will that achieve?

BTW Maria, If your P45 has the wrong amount on it then this is illegal and must be reported.

It will also cost you more money in tax if they say you have earned more than you actually have.

Hi, The facts are that people go for a job interview, they’ve been selling fast food, or driving taxis or working in a supermarket. They make up a crap CV, it doesn’t get checked. They then get employed, Bam! disaster follows.
The poduct is good, I was convinced of that when I worked there a couple of years ago with the Good fellow. I was up north with him the other week, he speaks fondley of the good times we had, the deals were there then it went mad, tele sales in charge of reps. Telesales who were just out of nappies, sending us to corner shops, market traders, weirdo’s living in huts etc etc.
The Good Fellow went straight into his next work , so did I
most of the above will not have had any form of employment since being given the boot.
It will work, it already is working in other companies so theres the proof.

is thiss jeff himself lol how pathetic u are i am employed by the way and no the product is shite thats why schools dont buy it ha pathetic bsolutely joke told my new boss bout u and he laughes his balls off cse hes met the little prick before when he was begging for credit off him

i used to work for Jeffrey Morris and I cant believe how accurate these comments are. He was always telling lies, physically and verbally abusing people in fact he used to bring 80 people from all areas of the Uk into a meeting in Leeds every Sunday morning to satisfy his own ego and abuse his control over people. At some of those meetings he was known to have reduced peoples wages and would leave them in tears. Can you imagine saying bye to your wife and kids on a Sunday morning because you had to go to some meaningless meeting for work then come home and tell them you have had your wages reduced for no reason other than to make his henchmen laugh. I also remember the stupid suggestions he would have and would always think he was right and everyone else was stupid if they didn’t agree with him. He was an arrogant piece of work. I am so happy that he is now in such trouble and whilst i dont wish him any personal harm I hope he suffers badly in a financial way. I live in Australia now but will be funny if i saw him at the job centre when im driving past when im next in Leeds. What goes round comes round.

Jeffrey Morris is a top man!!! hes got a huge cock too. all you yoks can fuck off you wish you had some money rather than looking at morris and wishing he is a true don reffin for all the brothers

fuck you skin cunts you all drive shit cars and live in a shit hole

Lovely!
Just come down from the north, doin deals, collected a top suit, drank exspensive wines put the foot down in my big boys toy. Look listen to this man, Jeffrey is a top guy good product, good intentions, a lot of wanna bees all around him 9 to 5′ ers each and every one of them. Just dont get what it takes. 248 Mr lazy ? any wonder? He treated me well, spoke well of all the customers, didn’t want to stick it up any one as far as i’m concerned. Payed us fed us fine food, taught the less fortunate ones a few life lessons, I don’t think they listened, month after month chasing the shite line. They couldn’t make apps couldn’t close, shabby shirts, shoes held together by cheap glue. One guy that had been there from the early days couldn’t even afford fuel until exspenses day. No body seemed interested in paying jeffrey back for the oppertunity he’d given them, they just wanted to know if he was going to get them an Audi. Day after day of talking shite, no deals, no money in their pockets, not even for a burger. Driving round and round England stopping in hotels all payed for by guess who? shite lines all made up rubbish. Jeffrey wanting to make a real difference to peoples companies, fools driving round on empty, phones switched off at 4 oclock, fish fingers for tea, spam for lunch.

Glory days around the corner on the white knuckel ride!
Good luck to Jeffrey and all the team!

The Twitter feed is incredible, 43 followers so far! Luv it!!!!!!!!! Lets see if we can get it up to the 500 by the end of next week!

97 days to go before we all get justice. Morris will finally be forced to close this business. What a celebration. I bet Morris will be away and then will go underground. Sooooo exciting.

We will get there.
