Hi,

I'm just dropping by to check with you, do you want purchasing the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs Professional mailing list?

Data information: Company Name, Contact Name, Verified E-mail ids, Tel.no, URL/Website, and Title/Designation.

Interested in list — just reply back as “Send Counts and Cost"

Please be advised this is a scam email and you can be assured that the Federation would never sell data to any company/organisation.  Our IT Director, Tim Jarrett, endeavoured to trace the sample mail back to source but upon investigation found it related to a fake company, it is inconvenient but we are afraid this material is just typical of the scams circulating at the moment.

Only emails originating from the official email address (secretary@fbhvc.co.uk) are genuine. If you receive any other communication please delete and certainly do not open any attachment.
