I’m posting here because after sending the email below, I got two failed message reports:Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:The recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now. Please try resending your message later, or contact the recipient directly.Here is the email I sent to them:A potential customer just alerted me to an issue they discovered when checking out our web sites. You scored mctours.eu and mctours.co.uk on a trust index of just 19.4% and 16.5% respectively, then continued to make libelous unfounded derogatory statements including:1. The sites are merely a facade.2. The age is less than a month old.3. That the business could be defined by the following tags: New. Suspicious. DubiousAnd so on.There is something fundamentally flawed with your algorithm to draw such conclusions.We are a successful company that has been in operation since 1996. The business name was changed in 2010 to McTours and shortly after we registered mctours.eu, mctours.co.uk and other domain names. I take offense at your statements inferring we are anything other than a legitimate business. We show our company registration number at the foot of our home page "McTours Ltd is an independent company Registered in Scotland No. SC371750 (formerly Harley-Davidson Tours Ltd)", and so, a visit to the UK companies house data would have shown that McTours Ltd was incorporated on 26th January 2010 and that all filings are up to date. How can you therefore state the site is merely a facade?If your tools worked correctly, they would have no difficulty discovering the mctours.co.uk was registered on 27th April 2011 making it 14 Years 5 Month 29 Days old. Obtaining data on .eu domain's is not as simple because of privacy settings, but a well-designed tool should acknowledge that rather than returning spurious data. Using a tool like web archive would have quickly returned cached content from as far back as 2013. This totally dispels your comment that the site is less than a month old.You also state your ratings are affected by spam reports. You should be well aware that whilst we have never disseminated spam nor have our systems ever been compromised in any way that might act as an agent to send spam, our mail is hosted on Office 365 and therefore their IP can be flagged for sending spam even though the majority of tenants are not responsible for this. A well-designed tool would take that into consideration before drawing the wrong conclusion. Whilst we do not actively solicit reviews many customers have posted them on a variety of review sites. A visit to any of there would have instantly furnished you with legitimate customer feedback. As you tool clearly omits such a step, I would urge you to redesign it before returning such misleading data about any other site.As you should now gather our business most certainly is not new, suspicious, and or, dubious.I see no reason to furnish you with any additional information. The above gives you adequate publicly available content to verify all that I have stated, so, if you do not correct your listings and remove this libelous content and any other misleading data with immediate effect we shall, have no other option than to consider raising court action against you for deformation of our good character. Regards, Brian WatsonDirectorMcTours LtdAnother point of note. The controlling company appear to be Zeus, LLC dba Guiding Tech Media who state on their Privacy Policy "NOTICE: This website may sell and/or use your personal data." which is all the more reason not to divulge anything to them that is not already in the public domain.UPDATE 4th November 2025 14:05 GMTAs I have heard nothing in response to this post and others I made to both scan-detector.com and Zeus LLC I was about to commence legal action. I just went to collate evidence to raise my case only to find that my sites are now being reported with a 100% rating!
