Flintshire Trading Standards are warning residents of a recent scam email. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Consumers are receiving an e-mail purporting to be from Santander. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The email advises the recipient that they suspect an unauthorised transaction has been made on their account and therefore, have disabled access to the on-line Santander account. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The email then directs the recipient to a link in order for them to restore access to their account. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Do not click on this link or give any personal or financial details. If consumers wish to check their accounts, contact Santander using the telephone number found on previous statements.” A Trading Standards said. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

If you receive a suspicious email you can forward it to the National Cyber Security Centre here: report@phishing.gov.uk. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

You can also report any incidents to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
