bulletin from Suffolk Trading Standards
If you receive an email from a colleague in the Parish Council, requesting you to buy iTunes vouchers, please delete it. Contact that colleague by telephone and advise them that their account may have been compromised.
Fraudsters are attempting to hack email accounts to make contact with unsuspecting colleagues, or are using email addresses that appear similar to that of one of the Councillors. The scammer advises that they will reimburse them for the purchase of the vouchers. They then request the security numbers on the vouchers once they are purchased.
Please report all scams to us via 0808 223 1133.
