Cybercriminals have become quite savvy in their attempts to lure people in and get you to click on a link or open an attachment… some are more sophisticated than others it turns out.

We all receive more than our fair share of spam emails, and AMPS are no exception. Like us you may also have received the following message from one Alesha Dixon wanting to sell us our own mailing list (!!!), including Crestchic, whose reply to ‘Alesha’ we thought we’d share with you. On a more serious note, if you’re not sure whether an email is legitimate check the sender email address, and if it claims to be from AMPS, feel free to ask us. Never click on any links or open attachments unless you are sure. If it looks suspicious, even if you know the source, it’s best to delete or – if appropriate – mark it as junk.

Dear Alesha, As much as we enjoyed your performances on Britain’s got Talent, we’re far from convinced about your legitimacy as a purveyor of commercial databases. As a long standing member of AMPS and council members, we’re not entirely sure why we would want to pay for information that we are already privy to. I also rather suspect that you’re not authorised to offer such information and any information given or sold would represent a breach of current UK and EU GDPR laws. On that basis, it’s a no from us. But good luck resurrecting that singing career of yours. Best wishes to Simon, Crestchic Loadbanks.
