Finance Solutions LTD. Phishing Email

Yesterday I received an email from a "company" about becoming a customer care representative. So there are a few issues with this:

  • I didn't apply anywhere for a customer care representative position.
  • The domain watford.gov.uk of the replyTo address in the email header doesn't match the name of the company that supposed sent the email and looks like a government domain in the UK.
  • The email address that received this email is one that I use for my website and would never use for personal business.

So all in, if you receive an email like this, DELETE IT .

Here is the image of the email I received. You can click on the thumbnail below to see a larger version of the image:
