CYBERCRIME WARNING

 

Cybercrime is a persistent and increasing threat, especially when criminals intercept emails and fraudulently change legitimate bank account details to steal money. We will not email you any changes to our banking details and any such correspondence purported to come from the Company should be considered as a fraudulent scam. Should you receive any such request you should immediately contact our offices on a known contact number which may be found on our website. Do not rely on any contact details contained in any email communication. You should remain vigilant and be cautious when making payments into our bank account as we will not accept any responsibility or liability if you transfer monies into an incorrect bank account, a new bank account not belonging to the Company, or as a result of a fraudulent scam. For payments to you, we will not accept any change to your bank details without additional documentation and confirmation being provided.
