Does anyone have updated informtion regarding Communicado please? Directors names/ telephone contact details for example as I also receive daily emails from this company and my intention is to pursue them thdough the courts.Forget to mention earlier that the unsolicited emails are being sent to my personal business email address but as that business is a partnership I have the same status in EC laws as an individual.

Report them to the ICO. Report them to the DMA. Report them to Spamcop and SpamHaus and they will soon be thwarted. Also every email you recieve, complain to the end client so as example, I received one today adverising free solar power from Homesun Ltd. Calling and emailing HOmesun to complain and highlighting that Communicado are damaging their brand will stop them getting repeat business. Hit them hard.

Had a similar issue with similar symptoms on Lion. Turns out using .local as your development TLD will invoke Bonjour to search the lan for a computer with that name, ignoring your hosts file, so switched to using .dev and all was good. Hat-tip

All my communications from Communicado Ltd. are marked as SPAM by my server somewhere and delivered straight into my junk folder.

If you have access to cpanel you can setup a filter there to delete the message so it is not even downloaded. As Ruth says you can setup the same thing in Outlook/Windows mail to move it straight to the junk folder or delete it automaticaly.

I agree with Paul about reporting to the hosts via SpamCop.net. Or report it to your ISP/email provider and confirm that you have no idea why you are being sent the spam – they may then be able to block it for all their recipients based on the phone number as mentioned above and report it. The spammer may suggest recipients have signed up to something that says “pass my email address to anyone you like for marketing purposes”, so if you know you haven’t make this clear. I don’t think it’s particularly related to Heart Internet, unless you know better. Communicado do also send to random made-up addresses (like admin@domain.org.uk where there is no admin address).

Sorry to hear about losing all that money, Darren. Since they’ve gone into voluntary liquidation, it’s unfortunately unlikely the directors will be disqualified, although you could always contact the insolvency practitioners, BDO Hatfield. (Another of their companies, Britain in Business Ltd has been dissolved, while Bitesize seminars is listed by Companies House as dormant. Communicado Ltd seems the only one that’s active now and its registered address has moved to Mailboxes Etc, 43 Bedford St London WC2E.) The saga continues…

Rather than complain to them directly, you’ll get more action if you complain to someone like SPAMCOP. Their anti-spam lists are used by a huge number of mail server administrators, so if they get their IP’s listed on this list they will start to have problems getting their emails delivered in the first place. It also makes the hosting companies they are using sit-up and listen, and to take action. As time goes on it wil get harder and harder for them to send emails, and the more people that complain to spamcop (or other lists) the quicker their host will take action and close their account.

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t have the same issue, but you led me to an answer. Turns out I removed an important host from /etc/hosts which caused MAMP and PHP to become horribly slow.

And they are back with a new name just a few months later, absolutely disgutsing!!!!!
