    Millydo - i would contact redten/fatcat immediately and change your password.

    The error message most probably means they now have your username and password - change it quickly.

    IT'S A SCAM, reply from Fatcat -

    This is nothing to do with us and you shouldn't take any notice of it.

    It looks like an attempt to steal Customer's Usernames and Passwords.

    But Thank You for bringing it to our attention. We will do what we can
    to have it shut down.

    Regards

    As Gnipper says, still change your password if you can, you may find that the scammers have already done so and you may not be able to get in to your account, if that is the case get back on to fatcat again, once again as gnipper says do it quickly, that goes for anyone else who has clicked the link, change your password now.

    I know it's a bit petty to highlight other forum users' spelling but for a so called business this really is not very professional or confidence inspiring.

    Hi All,

    Just noticed the address has changed for Redten at Companies House - to what looks like an insolvency practice?

    *****
    REDTEN COMMUNICATIONS LTD
    C/O B&C ASSOCIATES
    TRAFALGAR HOUSE GRENVILLE PLACE MILL HILL
    LONDON
    NW7 3SA
    Company No. 05530583

    *****

    googled the above name and yes it is!

    BTW I got free from Clode 2 weeks ago - had missed 2 payments and settled for a £100 as I thought it would cost at least half of that to threaten court action.

    andyg
  • Got connected to UKonline yesterday evening and Clode phoned today with an offer to avoid going to court.
    I have to admit that I was tempted to make them defend or lose by default but after all this time I am just glad to be free of them and I cut a deal.

    Big thank you to everybody who has posted encouragement and tips on this board, my internet life can finally move on.

    Finally, considering that sometimes consumer products that never really got off the ground too well can become valuable simply because of their scarcity and sheer notoriety, do you think it at all possible that a Redten branded computer might one day be as collectable as a Sinclair C5?
    An ill gotten camel gathers no gain :think:

    Same company that wound up Redten Digital Ltd earlier in the year. (See posts 6096/7).
    Doubt that there's anything left to dish out to creditors but B&C's website at http://www.bcassociates.uk.com/services.html says
    "To Creditors
    B&C Associates also assists creditors on bad debt recovery and retention of title... If you require your interests to be represented at creditors’ meetings throughout the UK, this service is provided free of charge."
