  1. DANSKE BANK WHATSAPP MESSAGE
    There have been a recent message circulating via Whatsapp, text and social media claiming to have come from the City of London Fraud Team and ‘the most advanced scam the banks have ever seen’. The contact of this message is false.
  2. FAKE NHS EMAILS
    As of yesterday (02/04/2020) Action Fraud had received 41 reports of this scam in two days.
