An email from Harry Hallows....& the Fraudwatchers websi

[Moulin]

Received the below enquiry today....Harry seems to be either a very chatty kind of chap who likes to stay in "places" rather than houses or it's a scam...the tel number doesn't work...looking it up on www.ukphoneinfo.com and it is seems to be registered to Magrathea Telecommunications Ltd....a telephone services provider.

Looking Magrathea up on the web and after their own website comes a site called Fraudwatchers and there's lots scam comments on there about Magrathea...Fraudwatchers basically listing which of the Magrathea numbers have been reported as suspicious and all the examples of scams that have used their phone numbers.

So anyway i'm pretty sure this is a scam and won't be contacting them but i'm interested in Fraudwatchers...has anyone used it? Is it worth signing up for?

Thx Moulin.

Thanks for the link to FraudWatchers and yes that email looks like a scam. Many of them seem now to be using Gmail, I don't know if there's any significance in that.
