Did anybody accept Primeshares offer for your claim against Quebecor?

I'm sure there's a few people out there that are as much in the dark about this as I am. Hopefully there's someone who can shed some light. If you don't know what I'm talking about then here's the story so far.

A few weeks ago empluess of Quebecor UK (at time of closure) received a letter from New York Company Prime Shares:

Here's that letter (click):

To be honest I didn't have a clue what they were talking about and nor did anybody else I spoke to. A scam?

Somebody offering to buy out a case that I know nothing about.

Where did they get my details from including my home address?

Then a few days later, received a letter from Ernst & Young that if anything added legitimacy to the offer from Prime Shares offer (though gave the indication that the offer was very low).

Here's that letter (click).

My questions now are:

• How did Prime Shares get my personal details? From Quebecor? From E&Y
• Where did they get the figures from that they've based the cash they've offered to buy out the case? (approx £1.5k).
• If they're offering that, then what are we to expect from the administrators when all said and done (if ever!!!)?
• As far as I understand it all employees of Quebecor received one of these offers (each with a different offer). This includes staff who never worked the banked hours system. So what is the cash / claim actually for that Prime Shares are actually trying to buy.

I called the number Ernst & Young gave in their letter and that was probably the most torturous telephone conversation I've ever had. From a 5 minute phone call I came off the phone with absolutely ZERO information. Now I know how paxman feels interviewing Gordon Brown.

One thing that Mr Papathomas did say was that Prime Shares would have got all our details from Companies House website.

I haven't had a chance to check this out, but it does seem odd. I thought it was just directors listed here. If it was from there, then so much for combating data fraud that's advertised on their homepage!!!!

Also it seems that we're months

Ok, so that's where we are. I never took Prime Shares up with the offer. Don't imagine many people did.

Does anybody else out there know what's going on? Any more info than that above? If you have more info, I'm sure others will appreciate it if you could share it here.

I no the union were suggesting to ignore the offer letter. Dont no if anybody took up the offer.
