I received a further call from Carly last night asking if I had received her email with the answers to my questions.
I told her that I was not assured the company was genuine as the answers all avoided names of trustees as requested.
I asked again for company details, address, registration and if AMR had been appointed by the courts it should be a matter of record, one they could provide.
She had to speak with her supervisor, returning to say they had given me the answers - they don't know any names, they were only an admin team.
I remarked that the email address
spainmail com is noted on fraud watch sites as frequently used by scammers trying to pass themselves as genuine companies.
The reply was that if AMR was trying to scam me surely they would be asking for larger sums of money. I suggested that by asking lots of people for small amounts was potentially the method
possibly being used.
I was then told I would be sent a disclaimer letter, my response was I would'nt sign any disclaimer - to be told that if they send the disclaimer they I lose any claim!
I then said that there was no legal reason for me to return to Tenerife and asked they send the cheque direct to my home address as they obviously had all my details.
She told me she was getting bored and I was wasting her time - then she hung up.
Maybe I'm wrong, perhaps I should give my credit card details to someone called Carly who rings up out of the blue, someone who refuse's to provided any details of their companies legal status or company information that could be used to establish them as a credible company.
Time for a risk assessment, should'nt take more than a second to decide.
The Consumer Centre in Spain have advised that I should ignore this company and if they continue to call consider it as harrasment which should be reported to the police.
