NOT a free service. NOT linked to ACAS. NOT good advice.
Your link made you look like ACAS, but you were basically being fraudulent.
Your free advice ended with trying to sell me a service.
Your advice, according to actual ACAS, was not correct and could have landed me in real trouble.
Thanks for nothing. You should be closed down as a free service.
