They are not addressed to anyone living in my house: clearly platte have been fishing unsuccessfuly for a name to hang their unjustified demands for money on. This nonsense has gone on for months. Has anyone been prosecuted by platte or Oriel yet or is this just intimidatory bull**** on the part of both companies? In future, I will be returning Oriel’s mail demands unopened.

Then rename the listed items one by one eg ren pm_rec1.exe pm_rec1.ex1 After all items renamed, enter del pm_*.* and they are gone. Restart or enter Alt-Ctrl-Del to finish processes with original names you just renamed.

My hunch is just to continue ignoring them and hope that they go away, but it is getting extremely annoying and they appear to be persistant buggers!! What have others done in this situation, I know legally they don't have a leg to stand on and it's so obvious it's one big con! Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated.

Luckely I saw the sign that says it's a 3 day free trial, and that you have to cancel within 3 days if you don't want it. After a couple of minutes, my pc didn't work anymore! Can't open anything! I got suspicious. Saw the icon of the download and a bill! Openend the bill and saw € 60,-- charge for 3 months!Looked like a contract! I got scared! Clicked on something on the bill, and it changed into € 0,--. Immediately I removed the download and the bill. But my pc is very slow and don't want to start any program. I'll have to ask a serviceman to delete all the malstuff off the pc! I've seen your links to do so. Hope it works! Signed up friday april 3rd and today (4th april)send an email to cancell the damn thing! With the sign they gave me an accountnumber, a telephone number, an emailadress and my IP number!Have to check with the serviceman if this really is my account number! The emailadress they provided is:support.nl@platteservices.com. To this emailadress I've sent my cancellation! As it's within the 3 days, I think they don't have the right to send me any bill! Problem is now to get my pc clean and working! Can anyone please provide me a right emailadress where I can send my cancellation to? I just have till april 5th 12.00 am! Hope anyone there can help me! Do you think I handled it right!? No bills or whatsoever? Don't mind my English please! It's not my native language! Many thanks in advance!
