Rhetorik Omdömen 

Had them mail me a while back and then get loads of "professional" people sending me genuine enquiries probably best addressed to the directors, so they get the reply that as the email is to me and I never buy from spammers, their domain is now blocked.
Found another message in quarantine which led me here

Apparently a scam to harvest email addresses.

How can companies like this be allowed to prey on people this way.
Just B@£$%^&s operating in a toothless, pathetic country.
JUST AVOID!

Scam/spam/phishers - I would not recommend clicking on any of their links.

Scam- received same email today

Same experience as others before me. Rhetorik seems to be still active.

I keep getting the same email from this "company" concerning my personal details being processed on behalf of their clients, stating that I have to request removal. Sounds like a phishing scam where they are trying to confirm email addresses. This is an incredibly shady business practice if "legitimate". There are laws against this sort of data handling here in the UK.

Scammers - phishing for your personal details

100% scam email attempting to lure me in to gather details. Just delete as they have NO information about you....unless you choose to give it to them.

Same as comments bellow, Ive received an email (both on English and my native language Serbia) to my work email address where rhetorik is explaining stuff about data. I have never used and I have no idea how did they get my email

Appears to be a spam aimed at collecting personal data.

I have received an email to my professional account in which they say they have my email in their database and that I should write to them to remove me from it.
I have never been in contact with this company so I figure that if I answer it will give them the clue that they have succeeded in putting together the characters that compose my e-mail and they will sell my data to the highest bidder.

Spammers, mail harvesters. Scammers.

Seems to be a company that collects your email address without your consent, probably to sell to spammers.
They email you about it, perhaps to give it an air of legitimacy, but more likely to get you to verify that your email address work.
I have no hope, that contacting them would actually help, given the shady and morally despicable data collection practices they engage in.

Seem to be sending spam emails about how they will use my data when I haven't given my email address to them

Collecting your data to be sold to the highest bidder, beware.
