Watch out for fake B&Q product giveaways

Fraudsters are impersonating B&Q in dodgy emails which promise free products in exchange for filling out a survey.

If you click on these emails, you’ll be taken to a recently created website where you’re asked to complete a short survey. You’ll then be asked to fill out a form and pay £2 for postage. At this point, scammers will steal your personal information and bank details.

It’s important to be aware of phishing emails and fraudulent websites designed to trick people into giving away personal and financial details. Learn more about how this scam works and what to do if you encounter a fake email or website.
