Stockdiscounts.co.uk Damon Foord Rail

United Kingdom

Stockdiscounts.co.uk is a scam website, used as a front for a shipping container sales scam. Please do not send any money to this ‘company’

Stockdiscounts.co.uk is a new website that has popped up that appears to be closely related to the Damon Foord Rail scam we have highlighted in an earlier post.

This is a scam website. Do not send these guys any cash. Despite claiming to be established for 8 years this website was first registered on 26/11/2019

If you visit the website, you will see a very suspect business address and a company reg number that is not valid if you check it.

If you fill in the enquiry form, you will receive an email back, which may read very similarly to this text below. (we expect that the content of this email may ‘evolve’ over time)

The email comes directly from a gmail account.

Hi There,

This email is word for word the same email that has already done the rounds to many shipping container companies, some of whom have been contacted by victims of this scam.

We believe these scammers are using the legitimate company name Damon Food Rail Ltd and pretending to be this business. There is a lot of evidence for this but we are stopping short of publishing that here as this may also help the scammers improve their game.

Please do not spend your money with this scam website.
