Scam census email warning
11:10am Saturday 11th February 2012 in News
Trading Standards officers say scam census emails have been circulating around Sussex in recent weeks.
One appears to be from the Treasury saying the recipient has qualified for a £1,000 grant, and the other says it is from the Population Census. Both try to obtain personal information which may then allow financial details to be stolen.
