2 yearsTotal scammers!5 yearsGot a text from some place called FountainFinancesLtd saying it's urgent about my account with them. Thing is, I've never even been involved with them at all. The message said something like, "Dear Chantell," which isn’t even my name, then gave a link to view info. Really suspicious if you ask me. Sent ‘STOP’ just to be safe.ChantellSTOPFountain Finances Ltd7 yearsI reckon this company might be grabbing numbers off that ppi checker page on Facebook called 'Angela's Advice'. Seems like they could be pulling people's details from there.FacebookAngela ' s Advice7 yearsI received a couple of messages from this number on different days, back-to-back. I noticed that their website is not secure-it begins with http:// rather than the safer https://. Furthermore, a quick search on Google reveals that the company in question has been dissolved for quite some time now. Since I’ve never had any dealings with them, I’ve just deleted the emails without a second thought.Google7 yearsGot some messages from Fountain Finances Ltd saying there’s urgent stuff about my account.

Just going to block it.7 yearsToday I got three urgent texts about "my account" but they used the wrong name and included a link.
