The latest scam alerts

Dear Resident,

M&S impersonation email

A scam email claiming to be from M&S tells you that you're eligible for a 'free Afternoon Tea Letterbox Hamper with your next qualifying order.'

It invites you to 'unlock your free surprise' by clicking on a link. However, this link leads to a malicious website which has nothing to do with M&S. This website will ask for your personal and financial information to scam you now or at a later date.

M&S recently experienced a data breach.

Suspicious emails can be reported by forwarding them to report@phishing.gov.uk.

Dodgy websites can be reported to the National Cyber Security Centre.

Dodgy websites can be reported to the National Cyber Security Centre.
