Email: [e-mail].

Website: www.netcoengineering.org sent the order. Is it fake or genuine. Is there any company in London in the name of National Engineering & Technical company London- England.

If thereis any body who knows this company please advise.

Answer 1

Phone up and ask.  If you have not contacted them previously, then I would say it was a hoax.

Answer 2

Do not contact this person.  There is no such company either Limited or Unlimited in the UK.  The post code is correct but there are several multi occupation offices there and it is quite a long way from London. London telephone numbers begin with "0207" - "0702" and "0704" numbers are personal numbers which transfer all over the world and cost you at premium rates.  The www.netcoengineering.org domain exists but appears to be associated with Ghana and does not look like a real company - the phraseology on the website is not quite real.  The domain name www.representative.com looks even less real.  Why does the UK representative on the first site have a different name from this person who does not use their e-mail address.

It is almost certainly a scam.
