anybody else had a PM

I am really sorry if this is a genuine msg but i just wat to check out with others

I have recieved a personal message from Chris19 saying he has read my posts about my debt problems and that the company he works for are a Debt Management omapny.

It then gives a telephone number and an email address if i want to contact him.

He only has a '4 posts' marking and hasn't posted since 1st Dec 07. All his posts are to do with a thread he started about credit scores.

Has anyone else had this and is it genuine?

I thought it odd as i find my debts managable although i would rather not have them, but i am not spending more than i earn and i am not in dire straights

    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    I just posted on another thread replying to a Chris27 I think which was a bit random - let me find it
  • There is another post regarding this further down, just report, ignore and delete. Really irritates me that they'll stoop so low coming on here when everyone is doing so well!

    Just to reminder to everyone that if they need ANY debt advice then they should contact one of the debt charities and chat to the lovely people on here.

    Don't EVER enter into a DMP or IVA with a company that advertises on the TV or in the papers.

    Unfortunately with the current state of things, you'll probably get quite a few spammers who've fallen for the "earn zillions without getting off your lardy !!!!!" adverts - carrion b*stards, just report and get them off the boards. If it works, it'll be stated (and possibly taken apart) in public.
