A few days ago, Fiks Fare denounced an office that was taking up to 2,600 pounds from various citizens to send to the United Kingdom, England.

This office drew up contracts with an English firm. On April 17, the editors of the investigative show denounced the "B&M" Group office, which took money from citizens for a contract with an English firm. "I want to denounce an office which took 200 pounds from us, as if it is a representative of a company in England.

I communicated with the parent company in England and they stated, also in writing, that we have no cooperation. They are taking a lot of people by the neck" were some of the denunciations. Fiks journalists went to the office, in the center of Tirana, who declared that they concluded a deed-agreement, payment was made in cash at that office.

Fiksi asked at the Consulate, where the employees declared that "we have no cooperation with any office". The journalists addressed the English company "B&M", which said that "we have no cooperation".

After the broadcast of this investigation, the journalists went to the office in the center of Tirana, to confront the denunciations and claims of this office. Various citizens made available to the investigative show several acts-agreements with "B&M", based in Tirana, registered with the CKB, which has a number of nephews represented by Mr. Haqif Hetemi.

Then there are the applicant's data, as the object of the agreement is that this office engages in mediation services for employment at "B&M" in the city of London, Liverpool and Manchester in the field of construction, truck driver, electrician, excavator, painter, parquet laying as well as any other position that this field includes. Even in the field of hospitality as well as caretakers.

Next, the contract states that "the applicant must pay in two parts to the office the fee of 2600 pounds as provided for in this agreement, first 200 pounds and then the remaining part of 2400 pounds, after being provided with a work visa and being hired".

The contract is not made at any notary office, but at the office itself. In another document, citizens pay sums of 200 pounds in hand, in cash. They even receive only one payment mandate.

Fiksi browsed the KKB for this company, where it turns out that the name of the subject is "Haqif Hetemi", the registration date is August 24, 2022. The field of activity is "activities of office services", there is also an address in Municipal Unit no. 7 .

Other information that is announced is the trading name "B&M", while it has an e-mail address and a telephone number 0696142... Journalists called this number, but it turned out that it had blocked incoming calls. Meanwhile, the door of this office was closed. Some employees of another company stated that "for several days that door has been closed and no person or employee has come".

But, a few days after the broadcast, the office makes an announcement on the social network "Instagram", where it is written that: "The office is transferred to Kodra e Diellit in Tirana. Meetings will be by reservation only and the company's administrator will also be present."

There is a phone number, 0696624… “Here you can contact to make an appointment! Each applicant will be contacted individually for further visa procedures!” the announcement said. Journalists called this number again and again it blocked incoming calls.

Meanwhile, after these actions of this office, which is trying to avoid Fiksi, but also the citizens, other denunciations have arrived in our editorial office. Several people stated the same scheme. Contracts and payment invoices were sent to the Fiks editorial office, always in hand and not in the bank. The deed-agreement with the firm, payment mandates and an "applicable law" document.

None of them were in legal form, as they were made outside notary offices. Citizens declare that they have paid 200 pounds each, 2400 they were told they would pay when they went to London, Liverpool and Manchester. They claim to have paid up to £800 for all members and no one has heard back.

Despite these denunciations and the closure of the office, the B&M Group page on the social network "Instagram" has responded to some citizens. They state that the office is temporarily closed and will reopen in a few days. They even tell the citizens that you can show up!

Fiks journalists verified several addresses, the one at KKB, building number 30 on Muhamet Gjollesha street. Residents of the area stated that there is no building. Fiksi also verified the new address, Kodra e Diellit, which they published on "Instagram". "Not here in the mansion!" the guard declared. In the absence of a physical address, journalists sent a request for information to this office, to the address on the "Instagram" social network. Until today, the office has not given us any answer!/ tch
