The scammers seem to be using information held in the email history. The information they glean from the history, is used to 'authenticate' the scam email, so it appears relevant to your specific circumstances.
Scammers make the emails look genuine, and often copy the format (and branding) used by the business or person the scammer is pretending to represent. Received reports advise that emails and/or phone calls from scammers appear to come from your trusted Ulton advisor or even other professionals such as lawyers, banks, stockbrokers and financial advisors.
The background information the scammer obtains from the email history, provides them with the intelligence they need to make their inquiries seem legit.
We are concerned about this trend, as these types of attacks have the potential to have long-term impacts.
If you receive a suspicious email or phone call that looks like it has come from Ulton, please contact us immediately on (07) 4154 0400.
