DFS Furniture (bank scam Peter Woods)

This is to warn all who may be taken in by this man!
I had the forethought to not give this person any banking information. Please make sure you do the same. This was an e-mail that I thought might be lagit; because my daughter is in China. Very strange for me to get e-mail from company in China. My daughter and I keep in touch through e-mail mostly. I wrote to her regarding this company; she informed me she knew nothing of them. Watch out for this man.

Hi Almstrooked and welcome here. I'm very glad to know that you realized the scam before losing any money. Thank you for posting this here, it very likely will save someone else. Keep spreading the word about these scams, it does help!

For those who don't know, DFS is a very well known and well advertised UK furniture retailer, and undoubtedly has nothing whatsoever to do with this scam.

This scammer is an imposter. The danger being that someone looks up DFS and doesn't realise this.
