How to remain vigilant following a rise in coronavirus-related scams.
Criminals are exploiting fears about COVID-19 to prey on members of the public, particularly older and vulnerable people who are isolated from family and friends.
National Trading Standards is warning people to remain vigilant following a rise in coronavirus-related scams that seek to benefit from the public's concern and uncertainty over Covid-19.
There is a particularly unpleasant scam pretending to be from the Government. People should ignore these messages – such schemes would be announced by the relevant Minister in the daily briefings.
Always check the official Government advice on coronavirus and never click on links in messages.
