More on Nesco

 

I had five or so of these from the Nesco scam today. I decided to investigate further as it is definitely fraud.

For a start the link works and points to a web page that asks for your personal details and those of your bank account. You're an idiot to fill these in. This may seem hrse, but I have to say something strong to stop people falling for these frauds.

The domain, nesco-online.eu, was registered on the 13th of September this year. So they really are a well established company.

This is the registration details.

Name: Lini Oster
Organisation: Navilive Private Limited
Address: Suite 8525, 16-18 Circus Road, St. Johns Wood, NW8 6PG, London, UK
Phone: +44.8704867384
Fax: +44.8704867385
Email: ad1@safe-mail.net

I could be pedantic and say that St. John's Wood has an apostrophe, but these are foreign crooks. Why isn't the e-mail address at nesco-online.eu? Because, the domain will probably be cancelled pretty soon.

Incidentally if you look up the postcode on the Royal Mail, it is valid, but there is nothing to suggest that there are any suites or a company called Navilive Private there.

One out of five!

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.
