And today's lesson in service provider websites is, they are still here!

And it seems, according to their publicity, they are using the law, county courts to seek redress on the service they provided.

One year on, no change then!

another set of mission statements....:rotfl:

I have had the same thoughts don't worry, I do have direct contact with the user known as aviduser, we will find out if it is genuine, and I have made clear that it is currently unverified. I have been forwarded on a number of emails between the company and 'customers' and I do tend to take everything with a pinch of salt until verified. One of my annoyances.


Completely agree and think that is exactly what they are doing.

I also think it is a good idea to insert a big caption on LB OP saying these are unverified claims. It may help the really concerned ones reading these email threats.

I am sure these "Mission PR folks" will soon get direction from their boss to add a reply in LB thread . It is most like to say "look, I found a CCJ in my creditfile..I should have paid for this nasty copycat company so that I would have avoided getting a CCJ.".... I know that is what is coming soon...:D:D:D

Easyjet and National Lottery copycat site ads slammed by ASA

This is what I call diversification of copycat business.
Since they are not a government service, ASA was faster this time....
