Description
Rapid Data Net is designed to trap unsuspecting victims who are left floundering !
Since this article was first written Fields have been settling out of court with many who have realised they were defrauded, they have also been posting fake data recovery reviews and review websites. Worse they have bullied and attacked their victims to the point of harrassment, lets hope the Judge re-instates the data-recovery-blog.com forum for the
victims of Fields Data Recovery
.,
I too was awarded an extra-ordinary damages award after Fields attempted to use their "in house legal team" to bring a vexatious claim against me. read
"
have you been mulcted
"
Fields solicitor stated in court to the Judge that Fields have :- "
a good working relationship with Bridgend Trading Standards going back 5 years
" what an extra-ordinary claim to make !
For those of you have been on the receiving end of the Fields Data Recovery scam it may come as no surprise that Fields still cannot recover drives that their expensive forensic reports or leading data recovery experts say are beyond recovery yet other labs recover.
Most will never know how they were defrauded...

If you are new to data recovery or this is the first time you are doing your research into finding a reputable data recovery service, it is unfortunately necessary to caution you to be careful when choosing a reputable data recovery company.
ISO9001 certification and Investor in People can be easily obtained by those that would seek to mis lead you in your hour of need with the sole purpose of selling you a fake report rather than get your data back to you.
When you entrust your data, credit card and personal details with any company
research research research
, find genuine reviews and take note of others experiences!.
Many clients (they say victims) have been lulled into believing the slick sales patter of one of the best know data recovery scams is Rapid Data !
Fields Group companies attract hundreds of complaints every year, they have a dedicated complaints depatment and legal team which uses its T&C's to make sure you do not get your money back. Of the 570 complaints lodged with Trading Standards in Bridgend 10 have resulted in interventions. More victims who contacted the data recovery blog
www.data-recovery-blog.co.uk
were able to get refunds, out of court settlements and compensation in just a few months than Trading standard managed in 5 years!
How many companies do you know that would be willing to spend 6 figure sums on a High Court Injunction just to stop victims talking about how they were defrauded ?
Don't take my word for it the Field of Data Recovery is more like the somme after a tank battle ! Corrupt Data, lost hardware, overcharging credit cards and defrauding consumers.
I am contacted routinely by actual clients of Rapid Data / Fields Data Recovery / Rapid Data Recovery and less frequently DataPhoenix- all part of Fields Group / Fields Associates and the common theme is they were netted by the rogues through cheap pricing and impressive accreditations, expansive client lists and global laboratories all at an unbelievably competitive price..
ISO9001 and Investor in People status does give the impression of a reputable company, and at first glance you would believe the top 3 google listings must mean
you have a chance of getting your data back.. but what is the reality ? Would an ISO9001 certified company learn form its mistakes ? Would it apologise for threatening much smaller companies for warning them they had a problem ?
Or does it take the courts to mulct
However the reality is somewhat differrent, the " papermills " who churn through data recovery operations using software and then upsell the unsuspecting "mark" into a forensic recovery often costing many times the true cost of much more complex head changes and platter swaps make their money first and look after the consumer last, often damaging lives and businesses in their endless pursuit of corporate domination with slogans like " unrelenting growth through sector domination" .
These marketing and ewarfare gurus are little more than " virtual pick pockets" encouraging their unsuspecting staff to do anything to achieve a sale because one way or another they are going to make money from all the fish they can net on the web.

Rapid Data Complaints

Unfortunately I fell for the scam from Rapid data, wish I googled the reviews before sending off my external drive, but I was desperate to get my data back and they seemed so friendly on the phone.
Sent off my drive, was told the most expensive repair would be £300, which I thought ok as I had 190gb on my drive. Then they get back to me, quoting serious issues with my drive and the price would now be £425+ vat+delivery to recover 80gb of files. They emailed me the file list in an attachment, but none of those showed the size. When I told them I would think about it and call them back, the pressure started saying that they are really busy, can only keep my files on their servers for a day so I need to make a decision. They also reduced the price to £320+vat plus delivery, all ended up costing about £390. I paid, then after about an hour I got cold feet and called them to cancel. Was told the work has already started and could not be stopped. Whatever. They promised to deliver in three days and so far so good - the package arrived when they said it would.
What I got was an internal hard drive for which I had to go out and buy and enclosure costing £30, in order to connect the drive to my computer. I was told once I return their drive, mine would be sent back... yeah right.
First - the so called recovered files - loads of them were just empty folders with nothing in them. Then loads of the files that had something in them had some unreadable unix files that I could not access. I deal with high-res photography and needed some of the images that were not backed up on discs, so imagine my horror when loads of those photographs were "recovered" as a negative? Many high res photos size 100mb each are in the form of negative and unreadable!
Tried calling and emailing, got one email back that customer services would be contacting me regarding my concern. Fat chance, heard nothing! In the end I gave up, sent back their drive so at least I could get my own drive back to give it to someone who could actually do the job, but so far no drive and no word from Rapid data. My drive cost me £200 so I could do with it back to have it repaired.
Luckily paid by cc so called them so they froze the amount pending the investigation. Now I just have to prove somehow that the data I got was not what I was told I'd get.
So yes, another unhappy customer.
