Warning - Cloned Companies

Posted: 08 February 2010

Warning - Cloned Companies
 


As per our last warning we have seen proof of another cloning attempt.

Take references - and check those references.

Please be very careful. If you have not heard of the company before be even more suspicious.

You must do logical due diligence to check the person who claims to represent the company does actually work for them.
 


They will provide real company numbers which will validate, but make them provide the copies of the company documents and find the telephone number of the company from another source (website / google) and call that number and ask for the relevant person so you are sure.

If the company has free email addresses (@live, @sn, @yahoo, @hotmail) or odd looking websites - be even more aware and do checks.
 


Be very careful - do not lose money like others have recently.
 


This can also happen with your regular clients as well - make sure you speak to the person on the phone and be very suspicious if they change MSN, or mobile number and especially BANK DETAILS
 


Check and avoid losing money to these fraudsters. 

There has been some fake stocks in the market - do inspections. Do not get caught out.
 


If you have suspicions about UK companies - IPT can help do some checks just call us.
