It is very definitely a scam. Could you post the full header details from the email(s). Remove your own personal information of course. The domain dataformation.co.uk has been registered since 2002 meaning it is highly unlikely to be part of the scam. The scammer’s behind the script may be simply piggybacking on a legitimate website.
