  • I have had a phone call this afternoon regarding MH Management takeover bid of Scottish Power wanting to buy my shares (which I don't think I have anyway !!)
    told her to post the form - didn't seem keen, wanted to email me.  Don't expect i'll get anything through the post.

    This scam is still active. My father-in-law was called this week with it. Got as far as him giving out his email to be emailed an pdf 'NDA' that he opened to look at. All deleted and blocked now and computer checked and reminder to beware and not to open attachments.

    This scam is still active. I was contacted by phone on 23 July 2025 advising that I would receive a letter offering to purchase my Scottish Power shares above the market value in order to gain a majority share holding. I was instantly suspicious.
