Hi,
The other day our company received a Mail that I suspect to be a scam. The content of the mail appears to be textbook "scam talk", but the phone number appears to be legitimate and not one of those UK redirects (even tough a Singapore company with a UK number sounds fishy)
Sadly my colleagues actually responded with a price list, to which the person immediately replied with an order for some outrageous quantities (again very fishy).
I told my colleague to forward the mail to me so that I could check it out and she did so, but she also deleted the original, so no headers, sadly.
There appears to be a real phone number and they have a live website.
Below is the first message:
