Had an Email and unsure if scam

TW1997

Hi guys, so I have had this email but when I try to search for the company I cant find a website or anything for them. When I search them I get the Google AI talking about First Enforcement but not these. Also the email address in hancockfirstdebtenforcement@gmail.com when usually it should be the persons name @ company name .co.uk

Good Afternoon Thomas,

 

My name is Dean Hancock. I am contacting you from the Goods Removal Team of the First Debt Enforcement.

 

This is to bring to your attention that we have received a legal notice against you from your creditor where you are not making the contractual monthly payments because the creditors have approached us in order to get a “{CCJ} (County Court Judgments)” against you.

 

As a result, you will have an attachment of earnings to your Wages/Benefits of £523.73 from the following month.

 

1. Issue a warrant of control to enforcement agents to take Control of your goods (which will incur additional costs).

 

2. Make an Attachment of Earning Order (for deductions to be made from your salary).

 

3. Make an Application for Benefit deductions (for deductions to be made from your benefits).

 

If you don’t wish to engage with us, we will now organize the removal of goods with immediate effect. 

 

If you wish to avoid this, you have the following options:

 

1. You can pay your creditor in full and avoid any Attachment of Earnings or County Court Judgment,

 

2. If you are struggling, we can suggest alternate options or an affordable payment plan. Also, we can suggest the best Debt Help Company for you for all your consolidated debts which you owe in your name.

 

If you have any interest in the above solutions, you can reply to the email and an associate will call/email you back with a solution that suits you the best.

 

Please let us know at the earliest.

 

Thank You

Dean Hancock,

Debt Recovery Dept.

First thing - stop using AI results as if its a search engine. It gets stuff wrong/makes stuff up.

Use google instead and you'd have found:

If you're suspicious of something, google it but add scam, so in this case search for.

"First Debt Enforcement scam"

Scroll past the AI and see who's been discussing it. In this case, first post is from these boards.

Yep, I remember that one previously.

A very obvious and extremely poor attempt at a scam email, this one has been doing the rounds with various names for years now.

He should have used the name John Hancock, now that would have been funny lol.

Ignore it OP, a 100% scam, from an individual with very little knowledge of the English legal system.
