Berin Riley from Move It Chanel Moving has alerted The Mover to a scam aimed at moving companies.  A company called Britannia Self Storage* contacted Berin by email asking for a shipment of artwork to collected from a warehouse in Sunbury and shipped to Canada.  There was something over £2,770 outstanding that was due for payment prior to collection.  The owner also contacted Berin by email to let him know that the company would get in touch.

At first sight it looks genuine until you spot all the spelling mistakes in the communication and realise that the phone numbers are a little Grimm. If you receive a similar request, ignore it.  It’s probably not even a good idea to try the phone numbers as they are possibly part of the scam and you’ll no doubt get stung for a packet on your phone bill.

Isn’t it a shame these people don’t put their talents and effort to something more useful.

*Obviously no connection to the Britannia we all know and love in the UK.
