I had to delete my account from Dell because some persons of the same nationality keep calling me from +61 numbers to buy stuff even though I told them don't call me again. Since my account was deleted I've not been called.

 

But one of my laptop battery was weak so i made an email enquiry with my service tag number. They emailed with the cost of the battery and I decided I didn't want to buy the battery.

 

However since then every few days I am getting an invoice from no-reply at dell dot com for all sorts of random items invoiced to me (using the details from my laptop's service tag) but delivery address is some person at some random NZ address.

 

 

 

This is how far Dell has fallen.

 

Do not buy stuff from Dell. Do not even make any enquiries on their website.

Similar experience albeit many years ago with calls.

 

I blocked their number. Eventually after maybe 6 months of being blocked they stopped.

Funny you should say that. Dell have been emailing me about my service contract soon expiring. With full details of a laptop including when it expires, the model, and the service tag.  All well and good except Ive never owned a dell. Never bought a dell.  And I certainly dont recommend Dell to any of my customers.

Looks perfectly legitimate. In so much all links go back to Dells website, the email address is legit etc.  Wasn't a dodgy email other than the fact I don't and have never owned a Dell..

Try downloading something from Maxon... they ask for email address. I don't think I've ever come across a more spammy company in my life. Its literally every day an email from them since.
