Companies House Bogus email scam
« on: February 28, 2014, 01:31:53 pm »
If any of you are a limited company and file accounts at Companies House London beware of a scam and bogus email circulating at the moment, we have had three already.

It says that a complaint has been registerd at companies house and quotes a reference number relating to your business and offers a link to open up for further details.

DO NOT OPEN THE LINK.......it contains a virus that will attack your computer and steal private information, instead redirect to Companies House who are aware of it and are investigating, furthermore any email officially from Companie House will name your business in it and will not ask for any private information, these scam emails do name the business just a bogus number.

Luckily our security is very strong and stopped the attempt to open up the link at the first attempt.

You have been warned. !
