Latest phishing email contains personal data
Action Fraud says it has received thousands of calls about a new email scam that’s sweeping the country.
It’s of particular concern, they say, as the emails include detailed personal information such as full name, address and postcode. They are also – unusually – grammatical and correctly spelled.
The emails purport to be chasing up a debt to one of a number of companies, including Optex (Europe) Ltd, British Millerain Co Ltd and Greenoaks Ltd – all perfectly legitimate companies that have nothing to do with the scam.
