Every company is a target
THUS is a part of Cable and Wireless that operates in the UK. It is also a victim of phishing, or at the least brand impersonation.
The scam in this case appears to be an advance fee fraud. People are told that they have a job, they just need to pay for the visa application. The mails are of course sent out by crooks, this is a scam.
There have been similar scams involving lotteries, but these tended to involve the larger companies that could conceivably have a PR budget to do such stuff. this is a scam that can affect pretty much any company larger than a corner shop.
