Don't get Scammed

Watch out for realistic phishing emails which are on the rise.

Phishing emails are becoming more sophisticated and realistic with the main goal to trick you into clicking on a link that you shouldn't. Many of these are intercepted by your antivirus/antimalware software, however the clever crooks are always finding ways to get these emails to elude the filters.

They will often use common respected brands to create an atmosphere of trust.

These can include:

• Your subscription has expired
• Your payment was declined
• Someone is using your login
• You have an undelivered item which is being held at depot
• You have won something

All we can advise is that you need to be extremely suspicious, hover over the link with your mouse. That should display the URL of the site and allow you to verify it is legitimate.

If you think you have clicked on something you shouldn't, shut down the computer and call your friendly IT provider.
