Just read some of the posts. I spoke to Thomas Jamieson/Tam Gracie some time ago. He was the most soporific person I had the misfortune to contact. He didn't speak - he DRONED ON & ON. His attempt at an Irish accent was pathetic. I am going to try to locate him at his new job in Hamilton, Scotland.

Tam Gracie now works for a water company in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Check his details on social media.

Ah, the famous Tam Gracie! Same script all the time. Staff at the local An Post realised he was a fake and usually provided incorrect info.

I recently reviewed some of the comments. Consequently, I was able to identify the person who purported to be many others - Tam Gracie. I recalled the whining tone of "Do you not see it?" as he desperately tried to pose as someone else. Same script all the time. He failed to adapt an Irish accent - bit of a giveaway that one.

Yeah, Tam Gracie. I recognised him from his droning tone, "It's about my account with yourselves." I recall his usual plea, "I need to inform my landlord" yet there was no such person. Oh, I also recall the frequency of Tam using "basically" multiple times - it became quite irritating.

Years ago, I received a call from a guy purporting to be Thomas Jamieson of Merrydown Services. He was trying to glean information concerning arranging a "delivery". It subsequently transpired, there was no delivery. I now know the guy's name is Thomas Gracie - he works for a water company in Hamilton, Scotland. His details are on Facebook - he gushes like an oil well! Tell Trading Standards to visit him there.

Earlier today, I received a rather puzzling message prompting me to ring 00441698303111 whenever convenient. I’m curious, though - who exactly is this Alex Nicholl? Sounds a bit fishy to me, possibly a scam artist if you ask me.

We recently received a POSTOGRAM message that bore the same address, and I'm located in Tipperary. To follow up, we had to ring [UK] 0187878, referencing the message number 53992. However, it appears that there’s no such company in existence. Though we reside in Tipperary, my wife’s family has ties to this area, and they’re keen to look into this matter as one of them happens to work in the Strathclyde scam squad based in Hamilton. Fingers crossed that whoever is behind this scam will soon be held accountable!

I’ve had a similar experience! A strange bunch reached out to us on Facebook, claiming they had a parcel waiting for us at an address we’ve never set foot in. It’s quite amusing, really, as we’re based in France!

I received a voicemail from Kim Begg at 01698307276 regarding a delivery matter. It appears that this number is linked to MCS, a firm specialising in debt recovery. They seem to be working for the Bank of Scotland, which provides financing for purchases through Shopping Direct, specifically through the Littlewoods catalogue. Quite an unexpected turn, wouldn't you say?

Recently, our neighbour, who's rather friendly with my mum, received a call from a group of individuals claiming they had a parcel for him. They went on to inquire about my whereabouts - rather unsettling, if I'm honest. I can't fathom how they managed to pinpoint who to call next door! I don't even know the chap very well myself. It feels incredibly cheeky, especially considering they turned out to be a debt collection agency! It's quite alarming, really.

Absolutely, I received a text message from these individuals earlier today. Thankfully, we decided to look them up beforehand. We used to reside in the UK but are currently based in Australia. We were once clients of BoS, but let me assure you, we don’t owe them a penny! What a bunch of rogues!

Just a heads up, it seems this lot is now operating using an Irish number: 01 878 7888. It's the same company, mind you. They've been known to go by names like Kevin Doyle and James Woods. They've been digging around for us, but honestly, we're at a loss as to why, as we don't have any debts with ESB that we can recall. I'm starting to wonder if someone particularly dodgy from a previous shared residence has taken advantage of our details without our consent. We’re not inclined to return any calls either way. We're more than happy to ring back ESB or any other company that wishes to reach out to us, though!

Absolutely, the same thing occurred to us! We received a call from a number linked to Kim Begg. These individuals claimed to be looking for our brother, who resides in England. There was no chance I was sharing her address with them. They pose as parcel delivery personnel, but in reality, they’re debt collection agents. Take heed everyone!

An individual from the mysterious agency rang my father's phone, pressing for details concerning us and being rather persistent about it. Thankfully, our old man, wise as he is, chose to keep his cards close to his chest and didn’t divulge any information. They acted like they were just sorting out some redirected post, but it's frankly infuriating. I can only imagine how much this would unsettle Dad. I reached out to the local constabulary, but they were about as helpful as a chocolate teapot; it’s appalling how some of these folks, funded by our taxes, can be so uninterested in proper investigations. By the way, they were based in Dublin with the number 01-87878. Just wanted to share the frustration!

I received a call from a number that led to a voicemail urging us to contact 00441698303111 regarding a delivery intended for our address. Oddly enough, they didn’t even attempt to speak to me directly and just routed everything straight to our answering machine. It seems rather convenient for them, saving both time and money, doesn’t it? I’m not particularly inclined to return the call, if I’m honest.

It's utterly disgraceful that James Woods thinks he can push the excuse of parcel deliveries to lure people into dialling 01698303111. The companies associated with this number ought to be thoroughly embarrassed for employing such underhanded methods. Unfortunately, this reflects a broader issue in society where it's often those already struggling who bear the brunt, having lost their jobs as a result of financial institutions exploiting them and then leeching off taxpayer funds to save their skins. Honestly, James Woods, spare us all and take a long, hard look at your actions, you absolute muppet.

Received a curious POSTOGRAM message from a company called M. C. S., located at Unit Three, Cadzow Park, 82 Muir Street, Hamilton, Lanarkshire ML3 6BJ. The message urged us to ring them back immediately, but provided no further details. Strangely, I can’t find any trace of such a business at that location. Could this actually be a scam? When I did call, I was met with quite an unfriendly reception; they were unhelpful and only seemed eager to demand a reference number before divulging a single piece of information about why they even reached out in the first place. Very suspicious behaviour, if you ask me!

I recently received a rather strange message via POSTOGRAM from a company identified as M.C.S., located at Unit 3, Cadzow Park, 82 Muir Street, Hamilton, Lanarkshire ML3 6BJ. The message urged us to make an immediate phone call without providing any further information. After searching thoroughly, I couldn't find any company by that name at the given address. Is it possible this is a scam? I'm residing in Dublin and find this request quite odd. The phone number provided for the call was 00441698303111.
