Shift 4 have been approached for a hire by a company calling themselves Media HQ Ltd.
Although there appears to be a legitimate but dormant company with similar details, this appears to be an attempt at fraud using those details without permission.
The company and its references all have websites set up on the 9th and 10th May 2016 – just a couple of days before the request to hire.
If you are approached by The Media HQ Ltd, Lighting for hire Ltd or Lighting Hire Uk Ltd then please proceed with caution.
