We got one too - so transparently a con that not even a score of 1 out of 20 can be awarded to these scammers.
The real worry is that people fall for these scams.

I got mine today from Mr. Donovan Housen, stating it was the second notice, the first of which I never received. What a scam. My daughter lives in UK. She is going to report this fraud over there.

LMAO Yeah I've had one too. You must be pretty thick to fall for something in written in such an unprofessional way.
They wouldn't contact by email on such matters, they have to be so careful themselves.
I would like to know where they actually get email address from as I'm a private person and don't give it out to just anyone.

Got one too from a John Maxwell. Only John Maxwell i know is the author, very good one at that, especially if you're into business. Seriously though, can't believe these people are getting away with this. Obvious fraud attempt!
