EK SCAM ALERT - KNOW SOMEONE WHO MIGHT FALL FOR THIS? - PLEASE SHARE!

Most of us would immediately suss this scam hitting some letterboxes in EK but for someone vulnerable it could seem quite real and an opportunity to improve their finances.

Of course, instead of improving their finances, the opposite would be the outcome. As soon as they reply to the email, they will be sucked into paying out money.

A big concern about this scam is that it is being sent via Royal Mail with an official frank on the envelope - we’ve reported it to them.

Please keep an eye out for this arriving with anyone who might be duped by it and warn them not to respond.
