Dear Watch Member,
We have been informed that the Government has only sent one text message to the public regarding new rules about staying at home to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Any others claiming to be from UK Government are FALSE.
Criminals are able to use spoofing technology to send texts and emails impersonating organisations that you know and trust.
We would remind anyone who receives an unexpected text or email asking for personal or financial details not click on the links or attachments, and don’t respond to any messages that ask for your personal or financial details.
If you receive messages about fake GOV.UK/Coronavirus messages or any other Coronavirus related scams, please report it to Action Fraud – https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-phishing.
