Unfortunately, fraudsters exploit current issues to defraud people who may already be struggling financially. Here is a warning from Action Fraud regarding fraudulent mortgage offers:
Criminals are using mortgage offers “as low as 2.39%” to lure people into phishing scams. Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Always forward suspicious emails to: report@phishing.gov.uk.
Your reports have resulted in the removal of 235,000 malicious websites as of May 2023. If you think that you may have been a victim of this or any other type of scam, then contact your bank immediately, which you can do by calling 159 and report it to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040.
