Contact the Post Office in Isle of Wight. They used to have a duty to reveal where letters to a PO Box where forwarded to.

Its a long time since I had to do that so maybe it has not changed in recent years.

When I worked for the Post Office PO Boxes and who rented them was confidential and covered by the DPA. So I doubt that would work but I was more interested in if anyone had heard of them as there name has come up on another non HH forum and everyone is screaming scam although the name they are interested in does appear on QLTR

Thank William

Your right Rob. I was getting my jobs mixed up and the timings. All it took 40 odd years ago was a phone call to get the information you required. That was before all this data protection and all the other protection was even thought of.Sad 

I have also been to that other forum you mention and it does seem like a scam to me especially the play on HXBC which could sound like the bank with a similar name. Maybe the person running that site has a luxury apartment at the nearby 'Parkhurst mansions'.

William,

I agree with you it does sound suspicious and I have said so but I also wanted them to know there is a genuine estate attached to the mail they are receiving. I have given them tips on how to spot the scam as well
