Dr Nichols from Londond scam???

The website used for the fake construction company is www.veroconstruction.co.uk and the agency www.travelwithusltd.co.uk, I really hope you can do something about this. ! Bye bye

Thank you for posting this, it has a lot of information that will help others who are being scammed, well done.

Of particular interest are these 2 phone numbers 447024015662 and 447024065792, the second phone number came up here http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Calls.aspx/447/m5 in a search

I have checked both sites and I believe them to be legitimate, I think they are just using their names to gain credibility. Have they asked you to contact people with data listed on the site? Have they asked you to fill in questions (on the site, not emails)? I don't think that these companies have anything to do with the scam itself.

This scammer also calls himself Dr John Nichols:

82.128.83.27

show that he is actually located in Nigeria.

In his first email he used the name 'Allen Nichols'.
