Besides being completely sketchy, this is most definitely a scam. How do I know? I decided to play along and respond. The end game is that they want you to send your banking information along with a color photo of your passport. If you see any emails from Ankor or any that resemble the above, delete immediately.

Iristel provide VoIP services, so the number is very likely being accessed from overseas.

Very glad they are being investigated, thanks!

I decided to play along and respond.

Please don't. There is enough evidence on the website that we don't need you getting more email evidence, and playing with scammers using your real-life info is likely to provoke retaliation from the scammer.

I also got an email from them before the website went offline.



This is the screenshot of the website before it went offline. As @HannahsDad mentioned its a rip of the website occumen.co.uk
