Fraud messages
My email is pretty much constantly full of different kinds of spam, mainly malware. As unfortunate as this is, it just is how things are these days and there is pretty much nothing that can be done.
Fraudulent messages by normal mail, however, are more rare. Not unheard of, though.
Today I received one fraud attempt by mail. Very professionally done, very official looking letter that claimed that we've not registered "European Business Number" (EBN) properly.
Complete and utter bullshit. No such number exists, not officially at least, and no one should do nothing else than to report fraud to their local police whenever receiving this kinds of letter. This isn't exactly minor payment either; the form they provide is an actual contract where you agree to pay close to 1000€ annually to them for their bullshit "services" - and believe me, it is phrased so that getting out of it is virtually impossible.
This is the letter we received. THIS IS COMPLETE FRAUD AND YOU SHOULD NEVER PAY OR CONTACT THEM. Just throw the letter in trash, or better yet, report it to police.
