I've googled "barracuda email" and it does appear to be a thing. I've also googled the same thing plus "scam" and there's nothing obvious that says it's a scam, other than that they seem like a protection racket, making money by frightening people. I haven't visited their site, but they claim to protect against scams. Your issue might still be a criminal scam of some sort, hidden behind a legal scam...
Don't give them any personal information, in any case. You don't need their permission to send emails to PDML, unless Doug has taken a dislike to you. Might be worth emailing Doug separately in case he isn't breathlessly hanging on our every word, and can somehow do something about this. > On 6 Jul 2019, at 20:26, mike wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > > And the solo message bombed again. > >> On 06 July 2019 at 20:22 mike wilson <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> Bizarre.
