Is this legit?

[Ionasmum19]

Just got this email and I'm freaking out! Does it look legit? The email address it's came from is [email protected]

Do you owe anyone money ?
Does the figure quoted ring a bell?

My initial reaction is that it's a scam as there are several grammatical errors. But it depends on your financial situation

Unlikely any reputable business would have a gmail account, and have they even said who the creditor is? Do you owe money?

I would highly highly doubt its legitimate.

Definitely a scam.

It's full of grammatical errors, and it wouldn't come from a gmail email address. They are just trying to scare you into paying them lots of money.

No of course it isn't.

It’s a scam…..
The email wouldn’t come from a gmail account.

Of course it's a scam. How many legit businesses that deal with courts use gmail.

100% scam.

'Reputable' debt collection agencies don't have gmail addresses. It's full of spelling and grammar errors. Delete and block.

There's no specifics, the gmail address, the bad grammar, the Odd Capitalisation of phrases, the suggested actions... all very indicative of a phishing type scam. Delete and ignore.

Separately, you can sign up to free credit checking services like Credit Karma or Clear score and keep an eye on your credit record. Things like CCJs and so on would potentially show up there for you to check for yourself. Not that I think that anything in this email is true.

Scam.

Basically someone called Mark has set up a gmail account and just randomly sending it out hoping someone will bite.

I'm pretty sure all legal notices are served on paper through your letterbox with your actual name and address, on as well as where the debt originated.

I'd forward it to the police/crimestoppers - they have officers following up on these kinds of fraud. They may pose as someone who received the email and manage to track the creator.

To get a CCJ, it has to go to court. You would have been sent numerous letters about this before it got to court, lots of paperwork from the courts about it, as well as a copy of the judgement if you didn't attend.

If you haven't received any letters directly from the courts aboit the ccj, then I would treat it as a scam.

Aside from anything else they state an attachment of earnings from next month and an amount, why would they also do b,c,d,e, etc etc.

It's a scam

Scam. Search for 'mark woods enforcement officer', he's not registered, he's not a bailiff.

Before freaking out dont you ask yourself if you have any unpaid debts for which you've been receiving legal letters?

They haven't even used your name. Of course it's a scam

Whoever is carrying out this scam is highly unlikely to be called Mark, is probably not in the UK and is quite likely to be involved in other criminal activities. Block and delete.

It's a scam. I had an email from HSBC last week warning against this particular scam.

Theres also another going around saying a large purchase has been made on your amazon account

It’s 💯 a scam.

It’s a scam. I am a debt adviser. They would not use a gmail account. They would also need to already have a CCJ in place to use a bailiff. They also cannot deduct from benefits with a ccj.

The fact that it doesn't mention your name is a dead giveaway.
Scam.

No mention whatsoever about what the debt is for nor is it addressed to you by name.

SCAM.

It's a scam.

Yeah there'd say where they're recovering the debt from at least. 100% a scam.
