We've had problems in the past with people hi-jacking our business details, apparently with exported tractors to Europe and imported from North America, and got a visit from the HMRC Special Investigations team which I did a forum post about.
Now it seems a certain George Lampard is trying it on, hi-jacking our good name with a variety of food related websites. It seems we've gone from exporting tractors to Halal Meat!
Unfortunately it is just an old fashioned scam operation and we have been contacted by people being duped into leaving thousands of Euros as a deposit for products that will never receive
Obviously they were hoping we could put them in touch with the notorious George Lampard, but obviously it absolutely nothing to do with us, and we're not considering moving into the meat market just yet!
URLs this scammer has been operating under are www.lowiltd.com glampard30.21food.com www.lakesmeat.com.
Take down notices have been sent to ISP's, reports filed with Action Fraud, HMRC and all sites have been reported to Google.
So be warned, keep an eye on your own business details, and it pays to set up google alerts or similar looking for business details that crop up on dubious looking websites...
