To feel sorry for this bride to be?

Last week I went on an email account of mine I very rarely use to find 4 emails with the subject URGENT!! I obviously opened them they're for lady who is due to be getting married 20/11/2015 and apparently there is issues with her theme and 'love letters' whatever they are.

The e-mail says that they've tried contacting her mobile number multiple times but it goes straight to voicemail and they don't have the grooms contact number.

I feel really sorry for this lady and it's actually playing on my mind, I've rang the 'events planner' and informed them it's the wrong email address yet they emailed me again this morning saying they cannot continue to organise the wedding without her getting in touch by the end of this week!

I don't even have Facebook or anything or I would try and find her and let her know!

What do I do? I'm probably being completely unreasonable to be thinking so much about it!

OK, I've just re-read and see you don't have facebook so you might not be aware that it is not unheard of for abusive ex-partners to try and track people down on social media. Easiest thing in the world to say 'such and such is missing, we haven't seen her for 24 hours, we're devastated, please come home love, your family misses you - if anyone has seen this person please call xxx on xxx, please share'

I know it sounds over-dramatic, but it does happen, so you need to be very careful if looking for 'lost' people.

She was only going to see if Worcestershire had a selling page etc like Liverpool does and was going to say if anyone is having their wedding at this particular venue on 20/11/2015 please contact them as they're trying to contact you.

I'll tell her to leave it.

Sounds like phishing to me. I do some work in the wedding industry and its becoming more and more common.

If you really want to get in contact with her then call the weddings and events manager for the venue. It's unlikely they'll give you any details but you can ask them to pass on a message to bride to contact this company urgently. That's all you can do. Unfortunately it could well be a scam - they take all sorts of forms now. I work in the industry and recently had somebody contact me with what looked like a relatively normal enquiry. We spoke several times about his requirements and then I asked him to pay a deposit (I only do this face to face as I also need to meet the client first). He wanted me to send my bank details to do it online "for my ease". I told him I couldn't do that as it needed to be in person and I never heard from him again. Apparently he had contacted a few other vendors too.
