Scams continue to trap the unwary
Members are continuing to contact the FSB with scam experiences. The European City Guide is still attempting to trick companies into signing an order for an entry into a directory.
There have also been several members contacting us with details of a former scam rearing its ugly head again. Business managers are contacted by e-mail asking them to volunteer their account details to 'store' sums of money on behalf of some African political exile. The catch is that they often ask for funds to be sent before they can release their funds. The unwary have not seen any funds and have sent money which is never seen again.
