Reminder to be cautious if you receive unexpected emails from official looking organisations
This is a reminder from Derbyshire Constabulary to be cautious if you receive unexpected emails from official looking organisations. For example, you receive an email that looks like it’s from your bank. The message may ask you to ‘update’, ‘validate’ or ‘confirm’ your details. It will probably direct you to a website that looks just like your bank’s site. Scam emails are designed to trick you into revealing your personal information and passwords so the scammers can raid your account, run up bills or commit financial crimes in your name.
