I'm not sure if I should be posting this here as it's not directly anxiety related, but it causing my anxiety to worsen and I feel like some answers from you guys may help. Here goes...
I received an e-mail from hperry@mclaughlin.org.uk, saying that I owe money and am in debt. I have never owed money and never borrow money. He said he is acting on behalf of a company called Alfa Laval Ltd. (which is real as I've just researched it). I suspect this is a scam as there is a link to follow for the invoice, which I am not following as it looks suspicious. However, the thing that worries me is he said he has sent a copy of the invoice to my address (he has included my old address on the e-mail). How did he get this information? I have copied the e-mail below, removing my full name, the dodgy link and my old address. I have research the sender but can't find a lot of information. What do you all think?
E-mail copied below:
