Warning: MVMT spam and scam via contact forms

A typical message might look like this:‍

Hello, We are the MVMT watch brand and we are currently looking to expand our company in the Dutch market and increase brand awareness on online platforms. Brand information: https://www.facebook.com/MVMT I'm writing this email asking for your help in implementing our marketing strategy. Our goal is to increase brand awareness and ensure a stable and long-term customer base. I need your help with some services, such as social media marketing (Instagram ads, Facebook ads), paid search ads (Google Ads). If your company meets the requirements mentioned above, we will discuss the service strategy, implementation plan and costs with you in detail. We look forward to doing business with your company. Thanks, Karen Harris MVMT Watches

The same name (Karen Harris) or (Nicole Harris) is often used. While this message seems real, it's important to be extra cautious. Scammers often send these kinds of messages to persuade companies to respond. Ultimately, they try to steal personal or company information or get money transferred for services that don't exist. After contacting 'Harris', you will be asked to transfer an amount with a chance of winning an assignment, after which, of course, such an order will never be issued. So don't fall for it!

How do you recognize a possible scam message?

• Unexpected contact: You have no previous agreements with this company and do not expect a message from them.
• General message: The message isn't specific and seems to be for everyone, with no personal details about your business.
• Famous brand names: Scammers sometimes use the name of a well-known brand to inspire trust, but it's always good to check if it's genuine.
• Unsafe links: Don't just click on links in these types of messages, especially if they lead to social media or unknown websites.

Stay alert, and if you receive such a message, report it to your mailbox as a spam or scam.
