⚠️BE ALERT FOR SCAM PHISHING EMAILS ⚠️

Phishing emails are a common type of email fraud, where scammers send emails pretending to be from a trusted organisation. The scammers make the emails look authentic by using company logos and may threaten you with a fine. The email usually contains a link which will prompt you to enter your personal details.

If you receive one of these emails:
🚫 NEVER reply
🚫 NEVER click any links
🚫 NEVER share any personal information, banking details or your pin
✔️ ALWAYS Report to Action Fraud and the Police

STOP - take a moment, stop and think before parting with your money or information.
CHALLENGE - could it be fake? It's okay to reject, refuse or ignore requests.
PROTECT - contact your bank immediately if you think you've been scammed - using the telephone number on the back of your bank card.

Criminals are experts at impersonation and manipulation. They exploit trust, urgency and technology to trick people into handing over money or sensitive information.
