In this womans updated response, she states she found another address linked to our company. I agree the address she found is linked to our company. It is our physical address. It is listed in the contact us section of our website. I am unsure why she says she found this address. It is freely available to all at our website.
What she refuses to acknowledge is that she has never had any business with Peoplescanner.com.Her problem is with another company that uses a similar URL of PPLscanner,com. Again, we are not nor have ever been affiliated with that website. We hadnt heard of the company until Monday. I assume it is new website. We are exploring legal action against them.
The real story is why is she is trying to prove we are affiliated with this other website. Is she trying to damage our reputation? This is the only conclusion I can come to. A reasonable person would be complaining about the company she has the problem with. Not wasting time trying to prove anther company with a similar URL is involved in her matter.
She should stop emailing us and refile the complaint against the proper company.
