Note that I think the web site is genuine and that the company itself is very reputable. It's just that the e-mail address in this spam e-mail is very different to the one on the web site.

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.

A professional company would not spell calendar CALENDER - A twat of a scammer would !
The email for the company is sales@richardhough.co.uk.
So, why would the email be richardhough1@live.co.uk as shown on the scam email??? Also, ask yourself, why is the CEO/owner doing the recruiting and/or allowing his name on the email to do so???
If the email actually came from a company employee then the proper email would be richardhough1@richardhough.co.uk.
Keith.. You Chutiya..! The technology area in which Richard Hough works is calendering and they manufacture calender rolls.. Yes, it's pronounced "Calender" and not "Calendar".
FYI - Calender is a technology.. Use google to know and understand rather than ranting out your little ill-informed brains here..!
