Sphere Services — fraudulent company, basically an extortion racket

My girlfriend took on some "work" from this company. The work involved typing out some documents they sent over. I had a look at the documents and they are just random bits of text from old English novels (Sherlock Holmes and that sort of thing). So I said she may as well try and complete it, because if a company is stupid enough to get you to type up bits of novels that are freely available online, and pay you for it, you may as well do it. Anyway, of course, it turned out to be a scam. They are now sending threatening letters over a period of a few months, trying to extort money from her.

They have no company address, and won't provide one. As far as I'm aware, you can't sue someone for not completing work, as if you could, everyone would be getting sued for everything. I think some people probably pay, like if someone does some work, gets these letters, tells their family they are in trouble, and the family gets scared and pays the fine (lots of the older generation of Indians don't use the internet so much, so it's easy to scare them with scams such as this). I called the company up on the provided number and told them to sue me, and that the judge would laugh them out of the courtroom.

If anyone is getting scared by these ###, my advice would be to just ignore them. If anyone has actually been taken to court by them, please comment as I would be very interested to know what happened.

[protected] is the provided company number.

Also, if they read this and decide to sue me, try it. I'm from the UK, so go ahead and come to the UK, take me to court. I would love for you to do so.
