Thank you for putting this online, we received one of these emails today and wanted to check before opening the attachment as it looked legitimate and when you google the phone number it is a real company.

I too received more than one of these invoices and I googled the telephone number and it is indeed Chevron Alarms Limited but I did not open the invoice because I have not used the company and do not intend to either. I think that the company must have been compromised and perhaps do not realise it perhaps? Thank you for advising us though.

I too received around about three of these emails and they asked for a bill to be paid but the thing is several people sent the email different every time. The telephone number was genuine which made me wonder if their website had been compromised. I did not open the attachment as I know it to be a virus as I have never used this company and do not intend to either being a pensioner!! A wise one at that.
