He is working from what look like serviced offices and the postcode FY3 9LT does have several companies registered – but no “selective marketing ltd”.

Searching the database at ico shows the address registered is:

22 ST MARARETS ROAD
BARE
MORECAMBE
LANCASHIRE
LA4 6EF

They seem to have mis-spelt the street name as it is “St Margarets Road” and appears to be a private house. I wonder which minion owns this one?

Recently, we received an attempted spam attack against random mailboxes (like lkjlkjlkjfglkfj@iliveinlanzarote.com) – literally thousands of attempts. The junk was sent from three different mail servers (which are of course all blocked by us now) and we have logged complaints with the server owners.

Personally, I don’t think it will do any good complaining as this man seems intent on ripping people off and targetting Lanzarote; but don’t stop making noises!

I absolutely love the phrase “If someone does not want to be spoke about in public then maybe they should act in a business & professional manner from the start?”

and…

“I cannot believe people would think 3 months on I would have not tried to contact her. The company uses a virtual receptionist so screening calls is not exactly hard. Emails are NOT answered and I dont have a mobile number, 3 months on I am out of pocket and have had no data.”

This must sound pretty familiar to his clients if it is him…

Okay, I’m not 100% – it could be another “Simon ‘Lanzarote’ Harris” (unlikely)…. But it is looking possible. (Web designers based in North Wales – Denbighshire?)

http://www.who.is/whois/selective-marketing.co.uk/ – is this another scam?

This is the Google search term if anyone fancies doing a bit more digging… ’simon harris lanzarote selective marketing.co.uk’

Still waiting for a response from any of you Morons?

Until I get a response I will be continuing to post these messages and anything else I find out about you at – http://www.lanzarotewebdesign.com/the-lanzarote-society/ (Just do a Google search on Lanzarote Society to see how this affects you).

Would one of you ignorant people please do me the courtesy of a reply to my earlier mails?

This basic lack of courtesy only serves to support mine and others perceptions of Quills Wills and the ‘related’ ventures as being both unprofessional and having questionable business ethics.

“SIMPLY LANZAROTE. (www.simplylanzarote.com) – Advice centre covering Law, Tax, Accounting and Paperwork in Lanzarote. A ‘Spanish Fog’ Free Zone.”

All sounds very familiar!

Simon – I have forwarded the email that follows to you lackeys named on lanzarotesociety.com, and have now made the request twice – not only has my request not been acted upon. I have not even had the courtesy of a response. Please attend to this.

I respectfully asked earlier this week, and have had no reply, that you remove all links to sites owned by ourselves on your website – if you have done your research you will know which they are – following your recent spam emails across the island. The main two I am referring to are here http://gtklanzaroteontheweb.publishpath.com/ (please note the text used to describe Canary Nightlife is copyrighted material).

Also, again, if you have done research, you will know that my wife Elle is well known in regard to Playa Blanca – we have had questions as to our involvement simply based on you using the name “elle@”. It is our belief that you have deliberately used her name as an email address to imply our involvement and gain credibility on the back of her reputation. If indeed you do have an Elle (unlikely as it seems) on your staff can you please clarify that this is not her or use an email address perhaps including a surname or similar to ensure anyone viewing the site is not misled.

We have no involvement in your site, we wish no involvement and we do not wish you in any way to mislead people into believing you have our ’seal of approval’ – you absolutely and categorically do not…
