Please don’t follow any links which lead to genuine looking phishing websites that are designed to steal your login credentials as well as personal and financial information.

Roger Mapleson, Wrexham Council’s Trading Standards and Licensing Lead, said, “No reputable organisation will ask you to share personal information over email or text. If you need to check that it’s a genuine message contact them directly.

STAY SAFE – GET THE LATEST ALERTS ON SCAMS, PRODUCT RECALLS AND OTHER PUBLIC PROTECTION ISSUES

“Unfortunately most people are likely to receive fake emails from time to time that appear to be from Amazon or from other well known online retailers or business organisations. Always exercise extreme care with any unsolicited email. Don’t follow links and don’t provide any personal information.”
