Marketing Stockport member Graham Saul is warning of the latest scam that some of his ‘Tectanet’ clients have received in the post.
Graham commented:
“A number of our clients have received letters from a German firm headed “Publication of Companies and VAT Registration Numbers in the UK Corporate Portal 2014.
“Companies need to be fore-warned against responding to such a letter as it could lead to an annual bill of almost £800.
“The letter claims that due to a change to the EU Economic Package, the UK Corporate Portal is also required to update companies business data as a basic entry. The letter includes a form for businesses to check and sign to say their details are correct, if they wish their entry to be a non-basic entry.
“But if they do this, the small print indicates an annual cost of £797 will be incurred by the business”.
