Being scammed is not a good feeling is it guys! I have taken things a little further & found out the following:- "At this time, I would like to draw your attention to the Scam Watch website (www.scamwatch.gov.au). This website is run by the Australian Government and aims to warn people of fraudulent activities in Australia. I would ask that you take the time to also report your incident to this website.

PLEASE GUYS REPORT YOUR CASES FOR YOUR SCAM DETAILS & STOP THESE THIEVING ****'S (WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY FEELINGS) AND PATJOS LOOKOUT THEY ARE COMING AND I HOPE YOU RECEIVE YOUR JUST DESERTS BIGTIME!!!!

I was contacted by a Constable Steve Johnson to advertise in the Police Health Handbook he said that ithe Police would give exclusive business to us within a 50km radius. No sure how that would work as th QLD police don't have any arrangement with them except that they are investigating them for fraud including misrepresentation and impersonating a police officer. My bank has recovered the payments including the extra one that they helped themselves to. DO NOT give credit card details to PATJOS they are criminals.

I believe Shane Lawson works for Pajos not a client as he claims. They took two payment instead of one from my account as well. One from Oz Wide Media and one from I'm a Local Coomera. BEWARE they are very convincing

Pat Obrien and "Constable" Steve Johnson who works for him at PATJOS are scammers who sell adverting in rubbish publications that they claim are endorsed by the real police. Beware the Police Health Handbook it is a con.

They lie and they con.

Our company has also been contacted by Patjos regarding the Police Health Handbook- which I tend to beleive is not even a real publication as I cannot seem to find any reference to this. The person who contacted us was named Jan and rather than commit to anything, I advised I would call back, but when I tried to do this, the number she had given me was disconnected. I was also advised that the transaction would go through their partnership company Oz Wide Media, of whom I can also find no record of as a legitimate company. Patjos Pty Ltd has only been a Australian registered company since July 2012 which causes me to question Shane Lawson's prior comment that he has dealt with them 'each year'. My personal view is that this company is a scam, as are the publications that they supposedly represent.

Very conviencing to the extent that we agreed to advertise with the alleged Police Health Book. They did not only debit my credit card for the some of $990, they took it two more times .
No they are under police investigation

Yes they just scammed me after receiving my credit card details they took out 2 payments of $350 instead of one. I was stupid and was conned.
Plus they misrepresented themselves as police.

Why is the phone number disconnected (if so good) and no copy of supposed advertising not in my mailbox.

You would think if they call themselves the Police Handbook & have the logo etc. it would be for real but no these guys are thieves & the lowest of the low Get a real job guys David Adams, Jenny Rigby, Steven Fraser, Gary Stewart or whoever you call yourselves & make a HONEST LIVING LIKE THE REST OF US The moral is do not trust anyone anymore anytime

Each year i acquire the assistance of PATJOS PTY LTD to broadcast my business through print and digital media across australia. I have found this company to be one of the best in the country with nation wide sales increasing by 200%. Companys have their own opinions when it comes to publishing companies. I highly recommend PATJOS PTY LTD to any Aussie business thats struggling to secure new customers. Keep up the great work guys.

Just recieved a call at work today, from Constable Steven Fraser Same phone number. To advertise in the police health handbook ...Very conviencing. emailed info that looks legitamate then the printer Gary Stewart rang from Patjos Pty Ltd regarding sending photos for add and a disc if I pay now over the phone. I have not replied to email or committed to anything and wont be. I'm sure they have a database with people who have paid and gone along with it. As I'm getting hit every week with another scammer.
Over it big time...

Keep receiveing numerous calls from people wanting us to advertise in Police Health Handbook, Australian Defence Force Handbook, Safety In Industry handbook and Volunteer Workers Review etc etc. Satefty In Industry number has now been diconnected 1800 156 331Pam Crosby was the contact there)however now Police Health Handbook 1300 832 070 Jo being the contact person) are calling daily to confirm advertising. I know these are all scams. When I questioned David Adams from Austrailian Defence Force Handbook he hung up on me.
