OCUK forumites - scam sense check..

[413x]

My gf just recieved a free money email

"less haste young one" , I hear you say however.. Read on.

This is from an old employer.

Basically.. Because of pension we paid you too little and your salary dipped below NMW.
Thus we owe you moneys (probably not much)



I've sense checked.

They are asking for confirmation she uses this email, and later bank, acc number, sort code.

The email does belong to the company.

As long as there's no way to spoof it I feel this is legit.



I suggested she ring the company just to be sure. But I still feel it's safe.

This.

Companies tend to **** themselves over potential NMW breaches as it can lead to huge fines so wouldn't be unusual for them to chase it with ex-employees.

I believe the key part is it was auto enrol.
And who knows if its 1 pound or 1 thousand pounds.

But yeah ringing (and not number in email) seems sensible

I will let her know that the nerd collective agree.

Thanks!
