TECTANET WARN OF LATEST SCAM

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”.
