Thanks for the info. From the bad grammar (and the odd phone number) it looked like a scam , but it is good to be reassured.

I Googled & found your website

Hi, thanks for this post. We received this solicitation today and am happy to read that this has happened before and the suggestion is to trash it.

Yep, we were targetted today and what aroused my suspicion is that for an English-sounding name, Richard Davis, there were a number of simple errors of grammar. Garbage, in fact. Then I googled the name and found this. Phew, thanks.
Doesn’t it make you want to send a screamer back to the !@#$% !!

Thank you for this post. We received the same email today. Interestingly the supposed competing company name was in exactly the same format as above: “(ourbrandname) Investments Ltd”.

Thank you. This company now seems to be targetting New Zealand companies.

Thanks for the heads up on that little scam! I haven’t received it yet, but aside from working as a mortgage broker, I also work part time as a virtual assistant and as such register domain names quite frequently.
