Latest Scam Alert

Dear Resident,

TV Licence scam email

A dodgy email claiming to be from TV Licensing tells you that your direct debit payment has been declined.

It goes on to give you a link to update this, which will most likely lead to a site impersonating TV Licensing to get you to fill in your personal details.

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

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

Apple impersonation text

A scam text claiming to be from Apple tells you that your Apple Pay account has been frozen and provides a link to 'restore' it.

This link will lead to a dodgy website which will attempt to steal your personal and payment information.

Scam texts can be reported by forwarding them to 7726.

If you have been a victim of a scam, then report it to Action Fraud or by calling 03001232040, alternatively by calling Humberside Police via 101.

Regards,

Brigg NPT
