SCAM WARNING ⚠️ Impersonation of Damteq®
On Friday, we were made aware of a scam email circulating that impersonates our Founder, Adam Smith. The fraudulent email was sent from a Gmail address and is NOT from Damteq. ❌
The email was a very cleverly worded attempt, included a poor imitation of Adam Smith's email signature, and it wasn't until the scammer asked for payment in US$ that our client noticed something wasn't right.
If you have received any suspicious emails claiming to be from Damteq, please discard them immediately.
To confirm, with any genuine communication from Damteq:
✅ They always come from official .co.uk email addresses only
✅ They will always carry our official branding and email signatures
✅ Invoices are always sent via our Sage accounts software, and we never share BACS details in an email
✅ We only ever invoice in GBP, and we will never request payment in USD or any other currency
If you are ever unsure whether an email is genuinely from us, please call us on 01329 565001 or email your dedicated client services manager to confirm its legitimacy.
Your security is always our top priority.
And a big thank you to the client who flagged this so quickly; it made all the difference. 🙏
