InterfaceFM Scam | IntrefaceUK Typo

InterfaceFM Ltd Is not a scam – their emails are being spoofed and the scammer registered a similar domain name and set the “Reply-to” address as his.

Ha. Welcome to 2021, where the world is broken and the scams have evolved. My accountant actually sent me this as he was suspicious;

He was confused as we have never dealt with this company.

I checked them out, they are legit. Hmmm

Looked at the details of the email closer, ah ha!

If you look at the spelling of the reply to address, its not INTERFACE its INTREFACE – Sneaky fookin prawns, eh!

So the email appears to come from a legit source, a real company – confusing! But on closer inspection the reply-to address is slightly different meaning you’d reply and think you were requesting info from the legit company but some scamming bastard would be replying instead.

I have informed GoDaddy, I have informed InferfaceFM Ltd

    I’m getting the same, but they have corrected their spoof reply-to address, so it looks even more legit. Mine was from Karen Beckles-Davis, but I’ve had other Karens! 😀

    Subject: [Jan 21] – We’ve left several messages

    Hello,

    Further to my previous correspondence, I’m contacting you again with regard to the following outstanding invoice:

    Invoice #3829 / Invoice balance – £339.43 / Due date: 05/01/21

    Given the lack of response on your side after several attempts to contact you, we might consider to begin legal proceedings.

    Immediate payment will result in us clising this issue without need for legal action. I have attached a copy of the invoice for your reference

    Many thanks,

    Karen Broaders
    Office Manager

    I keep getting hounded by this person. This time it’s Karen Knight. The emails are getting more and more forceful and I havent replied to any of them. This is not a company we have ever dealt with and we always ensure our payments are dealt with on time.
    This is the one today:

    Hi,

    Please be advised that invoice #3392 is now over 60 days overdue. We are writing to request urgent payment for the total outstanding balance of £203.32.

    At this point, we will need to escalate the issue further if we do not hear from your next week. I’ve attached another copy of your outstanding invoice incase it’s missing. Please contact us as soon as possible to arrange payment.

    Regards

    The latest one is getting a bit tetchy with a headline of “#3892 – Sort out your statement” this from Karen O’Grady.

    Thanks for the comments peeps!

    It seems they are really trying with this one, perhaps a pissed off ex employee or supplier getting revenge?
