E-Mail received:
Date: 23/07/2025, 16:06
From: Companies House financeiro@magazinetop10.com
To: [Name and Email address redacted]
Subject: verify filings & officers under new CH regulations
Notes: The email comes from the address financeiro@magazinetop10.com. Magazinetop10.com appears to be a portugese language online shop for consumer goods. Government communications will come from .gov.uk email addresses.
The click through address "must read guidance" is to https://framework5720-secure-piohd-today.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/4wX/r1jdFX2 All Government information is hosted on pages on the gov.uk website and genuine emails from in this case Companies House will link to pages on that site. The wording and typography of the subject line does not seem to be what you would expect from a government agency.
