We would like to warn you about a recent scam email claiming to be a security upgrade from a personal Gmail account. This email is not from a professional organization and should not be trusted. The email contains order transaction details paid by direct debit that is designed to trick recipients into providing personal information by verifying if there is an error in the transaction.

We urge all recipients to exercise caution when receiving unsolicited emails and to always verify the legitimacy of the sender and content before clicking on any links or providing any personal information. Do not respond to suspicious emails, texts, or calls, and do not download any attachments or click on any links.

If you receive a suspicious email, please report it to the relevant authorities immediately. In the UK, you can forward suspicious emails (as screenshots) to report@phishing.gov.uk and suspicious text messages (as screenshots or screen recordings) to the number 7726. If you think you have been a victim of fraud, contact Action Fraud immediately by calling 0300 123 2040 or visiting their website.
