It isn't going to make any difference though is it? The spam will just be administrated off shore? And I suppose the side benefit is that I am made aware of the state of the art amongst these scams.

It will because even if the processing takes place offshore, if the data relates to individuals resident in the EU then the regulations apply and they can be prosecuted. Might not make it easy but it is still possible. It also means you can make Subject Access Requests, request they tell you their Legal Basis for processing, request they stop processing your data etc and report them to the ICO if they don't comply.

GDPR Article 3 Para. (2)

This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to:
the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or
the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.

Recital 23

In order to ensure that natural persons are not deprived of the protection to which they are entitled under this Regulation, the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or a processor not established in the Union should be subject to this Regulation where the processing activities are related to offering goods or services to such data subjects irrespective of whether connected to a payment. 2In order to determine whether such a controller or processor is offering goods or services to data subjects who are in the Union, it should be ascertained whether it is apparent that the controller or processor envisages offering services to data subjects in one or more Member States in the Union. 3Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union.

Set up ScamCo 2, different phone number/email/website, but promising the earth again.

You don't need to change the phone number.

https://forums.contractoruk.com/umbr...ml#post1967407

Phone number of that is: 020 7788 7766 (and the name of the company on that website does not tie up with the name of one at Companies House)

But by searching that phone number you find: https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/l...rim-consultant

Which is this disolved company https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06896843

Then by searching on the post code, you find many companies there: https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/find?q=CT1+3HG

Which then takes you back to Zoe and others with similar surnames: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06764080 as well as a few other familiar names (e.g. Jeremy).
