Short nugget on #Cliq Digital: How much of its 2020 revenue is derived from charging (sometimes unaware) people for “premium subscriptions”?
The annual report lists 5 UK subsidiaries with total 2020 revenue of EUR 27.8m. This equals approx. 25% of Cliq’s total 2020 revenues.
All these subsidiaries have the same registered address (6 Langdale Ct, Witney OX28 6FG). Located above a dry cleaner, they share the address with an accounting firm: bronsens.co.uk
The UK registry lists >24 thousand companies registered here: …te.company-information.service.gov.uk/search/compani…
Only one of the five (Red27 Mobile Ltd.) has any employees at all, 12 to be precise. A quick search reveals that Red27 does not seem to have the best standing with its (involuntary) customers: trustpilot.com/review/red27mo…

The subsidiaries have multiple subscription services registered at the Irish statutory body for the oversight of premium rate services:

servicechecker.comreg.ie/Find/Index?q=U…
A service by Red27 Mobile Ltd. (“Chillax Games”) is so dubious that a similar named company needed to publicly state Non-Affiliation:
