SCAM E-MAIL
An increased number of scam e-mails have been circulating recently. Take care not fall victim. E-mails seem genuine and are made to look as if they’ve come from reputable organisations. My own experience is that there’s usually a glaring error in the spelling (which is a dead giveaway) but, if you’re not sure where it has come from, delete it. Check this page on the OurWatch website for advice about staying safe on the web:
