E-Mail from Mackenzie Hall

Just had the following e-mail from Muck Hall:

Am I on a phishing list and should I ignore them? I've read A LOT of bad press about these clowns... I have only one call from them and that was nearly 5 weeks ago. Didn't answer as my phone was switched off!

 

It seems they don't even know if I am the person they want and mr is spelt Mr!

 

Have checked the CRA's (All Three) and nothing on there that it could be. Ignore the best course? Had no written correspondence either!

So where the hell are they getting people's email addresses from now ?

 

I would ignore and add their email address to your Junk/Spam list. Until they are prepared to write and tell you exactly what it is they want then there is no point in guessing.

 

You have advised that there is nothing on your credit file, so it is likely that anything they are pursuing is likely to be statute barred, anyway.

 

Muck Hall have been warned about their tracing methods and an email could very likely end up on a public computer.

 

I must admit, I would be very interested in finding out where the obtained your email addy.

I would be very interested where they got it from too! Unless it was their alleged client?

 

Done better than Junk the address... Server set to bounce it back "Recipient Not Known" for their entire domain and send me an incident report for every badly written e-mail they send. Hell if they're going to clutter my inbox with their spam... I'll help them get their mail servers blacklisted!!

 

Not sure on the Statue Barring though... I've only just turned 23 so it's unlikely a SB debt. I have a few debts like most. But I have come to repayment arrangements with all of them except one or two (Speedcredit and Hutchinson 3G)

You only have to e-mail a comparison site, enter a competition, or buy anything on line, and your e-mail is harvested and as on most of these functions you provide a post code the data harvest is complete, subscribe as I do to 192.com you can gather information the everyone thinks is private and secure.

[nuclearshark]

That's true in all fairness... It's come in on an address I wouldn't normally use for "Personal Business" though. Infact, it's an address which I haven't checked for a couple of months.

 

I'm tempted to send an e-mail from another account on that server with a Cease and Desist Communications Notice and include the insidious line "This notice is valid, even if not read by you" That might make them get a tad suspicious though!

Why not that e-mail:madgrin:

Sorry if off topic, but how do you do this, it would be very useful to know

[ploddertom]

For me I would add their email address to a few email listings.

I run my emails on my own domain (like consumeractiongroup.co.uk) and have them delivered to my Microsoft Exchange Server. I just created a delivery rule in the Admin control panel to bounce the e-mail with a "Recipient Not Known". Also added to the rule an Incident Logging function so I know how many times the server has had to bounce their e-mails. Could be useful in terms of a harassment warning!

 

Do you use Microsoft Exchange? Let me know and I'll link up a guide on what to do. If not let me know what e-mail system/service you use and I'll see if I can find anything
