Scam emails to companies

Just a heads up, these types of emails are doing the rounds

The number is a personal number not a mobile number. Obviously the scam is to get people curious to ring which generates high call revenue.

Hi,

I'm getting in touch as a member of our business had requested a call from you a little while ago.

We are looking to get some costs if we can please?

Would someone be able to give me a call on 07011774169

I am in and out of the office today so it maybe a case of trying to catch me when free (or leave a VM).

    Had exactly the same email this morning apart from the last digit. Mobile number [FONT=&quot]07011774165[/FONT]
  • Got the same one, clever, though a search of the gmx website, I couldn't work out why they would have called us anyway :)

    keep posting any different numbers from similar emails. That way any curious recipients will find us.

    I don think it was GMX who were making the enquiry - just using them as a host email address as pretty untraceable.

  • Another one - not addressed to anyone, slightly odd use of English - but otherwise quite plausible - I assume it is a premium rate number?
