The phone number for the fake Gerald Holmes family +44 7024025981 is a redirect number which redirects all calls to the scammer's mobile phone in Nigeria.

The email address given for the UK Home Office - [email protected] - is not the real address of the UK Home Office; it is a free webmail address which also belongs to the scammer.

Genuine UK Home Office email addresses end with @homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk - and with no words or abbreviations after that.
