Desar sir
I have been contacted by a Chineese company to support their worldwide activities from Panama. For that purpose they informed me athat they had shipped EQT to the UK using Mr Francise Laureen as their Shipping agent... And I just received this e mail with attacment which I suspect to be a SCAM:
Dear Mr. Christian M Romano,

hoping to hear from you.
