ALERT! Strange Letters from Estate Agents

Has anyone been receiving curious letters from estate agents stating that they see your property has been on the market for a while and hasn't sold? They then go about offering their services to sell or let  your home.The problem is my property is NOT on the market and companies such as Gibbs Gillespie, Savills and Winkworth keep writing to me.Today I called Savills (again) and asked themthe usual question "Who told them my property is for sale?"They all tell me they got this info from The Land Registry or Spectre*. Has it occurred to you that now James Bond has been killed, his long term nemesis Spectre is raising its ugly head and through its minions of eager and greedy Estate Agents is about to come after your home insisting it's on the market?If you ever see a letter similar to mine, I suggest you contact MI5.* Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion

Marlene, did the Estate Agent confirm they had sent the letter.

I would 1st check whether your ID has somehow been 'compromised/stolen' and some dubious character has then accessed your property details and put them up for sale under your name, but it actually being theirs?

Some time ago my sister see a photo of her home for sale with an EstateAgent that she knew nothing about, apparently some were doing this sortof thing to make it appear they had more homes on their books, if someoneenquiries about it they say it's been sold.  I posted about this some time ago and wonder if it still goes on.

Were these letters sent from Russia , with love ? Another tell of espionage involvement is if they are marked For your Eyes Only - so I've heard
